That's not tampering. And besides, who cares? It's not as if Bronny is a major talent that other teams were afraid to draft because of LeBron. Nobody wanted him except the Lakers.
As for Deuce, I hope he goes to Harvard and becomes a surgeon.

Feel how you want to but it’s tampering to me. I don’t care if no one thinks he has the talent. If it’s okay for him then it should be okay for someone of with lauded talent! Imagine if Tatum forced his way to the lakers when he was going to be drafted. Imagine any top player you love. That’s okay right? A player you knew your team had the chance to pick and maybe insight on whether they would take him, but he forced his way to another team, publicly, how would you feel?
It’s okay if you’d feel exactly the same, your choice, but I’d be miffed!

It's not tampering because LeBron is a player, not a member of the Lakers management. Nor was Bronny under contract to any other NBA team.
It's perfectly legal under the CBA or the league's by-laws for player to attempt to influence a team's management. Happens all the time.

I truly think ORL is in it. PG’s personality seems like someone who’d want to chill. He’s a west coast guy and Orlando is more in line with that.
My prediction is that PG goes to ORL. PHI trades for Ingram and signs KCP, while bringing back Batum for Maxey/KCP/Ingram/Batum/Embiid.

Orlando goes with KCP.
Looks like it's Philly for PG13.

Sixers upgrade from Harris to PG13, but pay him a ton into his late 30’s and had to gut the roster to get cap space so how deep will the be? Both situations a far cry from when we upgraded two starting positions last summer but still were doubted all the way until the final buzzer. I hope they keep disbelieving and it motivates the troops.
