Plenty of teams should have picked Bronny for the purpose of swapping him to the Lakers for a couple of their next available unprotected 1st round picks. You don't draft Bronny to get LeBron, you draft Bronny to get LeBron to pressure Laker management to cough up the assets to get Bronny.
People, who know more than I, say LeBron's agent would cause their client players to blacklist any team who dared such a move. Have one of those players on your team, maybe they don't resign when their contract is up.
If my team wanted a player higher in the draft order than they had a pick available, they'd have to trade up in the draft. The Lakers? No, they don't have to do that.
Anyone suggesting an NBA team should draft a player without the intent of actually rostering that player.... probably shouldn't be talking about what NBA teams should or shouldn't do.
