Why does LeBron hate his kid....

This isn't going to get better. The kid's not ready and doesn't look like he'll ever be. It's a slow motion car wreck...

Well....this kid has a signed contract guaranteeing that by 22-23 years old, he'll have already earned more $$$ than 99% of the world does their entire life. Why does he hate the Lakers, would prob be better wording. I see no evidence that he hates his kid.

I think we disagree on this, but I think Bronny will turn into a decent player. Decent, mind you. When I look at a terrible player like DLo, and what a complete zero he is defensively....I can see a guy like Bronny eeking out a career. Possibly more. His father will certainly see to it that he get opportunities and 2nd-3rd chances that most prob wouldn't get. We can hate that....but from a dad view, it seems like a good thing to me. But at what expense to the Lakers??

You could make an argument that this coach is geared towards his kid. I think their attempt to get that college coach known for great development was certainly for that. How many other things we don;t see/know are skewed towards seeing that his kid is given the best opportunity possible. All great from a dad view.....but from a Laker view....unless he turns good (and doesn't bail when his dad buys a vegas team) this is alot of wasted man-power and time on a guy that prob won't pay that back.

Now I do agree that this guy should be in the D-League, and not holding up a spot for a player ready to go now....but I see Lebron as a guy putting himself, and his son first....not just himself. That the Lakers are getting played like this, is really on them at this point. It's pathetic.

I'm a little old fashioned. Meritocracy still has a place in my value stack. He didn't earn his way here is what I really mean. Let the kid to go the G league and prove he belongs. Right now he looks overmatched... significantly overmatched.

We agree on the Lakers leadership. Once LeBron fades into the distance they will as well. They may be smart enough to sell at the top.... then again they may not.

I liked Hinson much better than Bronny. Let’s compare their careers in three years. Bronny cost us Hinson.

Bronny didn't cost them Hinson. They don't even play the same position. Hinson is a 3/4 and is too slow footed to defend guards. If anything Hinson would be competing for minutes with Vando and maybe Cam Reddish not Bronny.

Hinson also got cut by the Warriors. He's almost 25 years old, if he isn't landing anywhere solid he's likely not an NBA player.

Not talking positions, obviously. Roster spots ran out, Bronny got the last spot. Not terrible nepotism, but nepotism. I think Hinson will compete on NBA level fairly soon. Bronny might, too, but he’s undersized for the NBA. In a few years, maybe.
