I would be ok if my team used a mid to late 2nd rounder on him to see if his dad wants to join the team. I wouldn’t have any interest in Bronny the player. He is a 6-1 SG that did absolutely nothing in his first year of college on a bad team.

Denver has 28th pick, so I would like if we could trade pick for some vet help. If not I would like us to draft Bronny and trade him to Lakers for some future lottery protected 1st.

The nepotism is strong with this one. His camp won't even consider a two way deal. :lol:

Then again, Peyton Watson had terrible college stats as well and he was well worth the first round pick Denver spent, so what do I know.

I'll just be glad when it's over. A mediocre prospect shouldn't dominate draft talk the way he has. Unfair to the rest of the players, but that's what ESPN created.

Based on his actual numbers, I don't think too many people would ever consider drafting him, however, I guess the whole "It might get his dad to join our team" is where this becomes more interesting.
I can see a smaller market team taking a chance on Bronny if it gives them a chance (or even just the hope) that it might bring in Lebron for a season or two.

Yeah, I could see that, but I don't think it's a very good course of action. They'd have to have a lot of cap space or good players to give the Lakers for a trade...not even sure LeBron would want to do it.

lebron will not play for whoever drafts bronny. he is staying with LAL. for that reason, i'd be ticked if my team were to draft Bronny 10th overall.

LoL at Bronny being listed at 6-4. He checked in a shade over 6-1 at the combine.

I honestly wouldn't care. This draft is mostly trash, so why not spend a flier on him and hope his dad signs for the vet minimum?

According to Klutch, he isn't going to sign any 2-way deals. So drafting Bronny is a waste of a roster spot.

He's probably 6'3 with shoes.

Just in case you didn't notice players wear shoes.

Sometimes beggars can't be choosers.

A team can draft him & only offer him a 2-way deal. Bronny's only options would be to:
1) sit out the year (and re-enter the draft next season)
2) play overseas (and the team retains his draft rights); or
3) sign the 2-way contract

I don’t know too much about players outside of the lottery, but I’d like to see Portland get a pick in the 20s to land one of Edey or Holmes. Edey is probably gone at 28, but Tankathon has Holmes right at 28. Maybe something around Brogdon for the 28?

I could see us taking him in the 2nd round and being okay with it because we need depth in the backcourt since we're likely losing Monk and could lose Mitchell next. Bronny could take his time with us, not feel rushed but still see minutes and develop. There's a few guys I'm hoping we pick instead in the 2nd round if they're still available but if they're gone, Bronny would be fine.

I would love to have Brogdon but not to the expend of any of our startes. Our biggest tredable banch contract is $9 mil Nnaji, and Brogdon is making $22 mil, so it wouldn't work. It would be hard to even to get enough money for Time Lord due to apron rules.

I would be disappointed.

We already have a point guard bust on the roster.

I could see Ainge drafting him to extort a trade with LA.

Is there a separate draft for crappy players? Just wondering. I can refer to an elite prospect.
