One game without a cushy utopian roster littered with shooters, defenders and a co-star that's dropped 40+ in a handful of playoff games and we've already reached throwing the teammates under the bus territory.

One of the most unlikeable athletes in some time.

Bronny already being dumped to the G-League.

At least LeCorn got to have his staged moment he's been scripting the last 3-4 years.

I don't disagree with calling out the complaining, but Jokic being of the most unlikable athletes is a scorching take.

Pels running a Yves Missi-Zion Williamson-Herbert Jones frontcourt.

Ryan Dunn’s improvement as a shooter in such a short span is amazing

So true. The real joke of it is the Lakers wasting a draft pick on a kid who anyone not kissing James' ass knows damn well is never going to be an NBA player, and possibly not even a G-League player. I've never seen a player so catered to like this creep, and that includes Jordan.

What am I missing with Lonnie walker? He certainly has to be more useful than Reggie Jackson.

For a while the Lakers G- league games are going to be must see TV. Bronny has a contract and has got a lot of press coverage courtesy of his father. Now in the G-league he is going up against players just as good as him and probably better. And they will be going at him to prove a point. What's he gonna do call his daddy and say "fix this?" I could be wrong but Lebron should have let Bronny sink or swim on his own merits. In the long run Lebron has probably done more harm than good to Bronny basketball career.

True, but as much as a detest him, I don't blame James here. The kid was perfectly capable of choosing to stay in school and see if he could improve enough to be a legit draft pick, but he took the easy way. I believe the reason is that deep down both knew that he was never going to be close to that level of player. Rec leagues are loaded with short guards who can't shoot. He got his contract, and I'm sure would have little problem getting an overseas contract off of his name.

I also fault the Lakers for caving and wasting the pick, although JJ must have breathed a sigh of relief that he was sent down.

Harden off Philly so he's back to living at the line again. 22 FTA in two games so far

If Celtics steamroll everyone again this season, Tatum should get some serious consideration for MVP. He's the best player on the best team

They clearly played with their food tonight against the Pistons

I disagree. When your father is in contention to be considered the GOAT and has been grooming you since you were a child to play in the NBA. It takes a special sort of independence to say, at the age of 17 or 18, "hey dad lets put the breaks on this father son playing together in the NBA." Bronny probably did not does not want to disappoint his father and secondly how are you going to say no to a life of playing in the NBA, Your father's dream has become your dream. You believe because he believes and no one has really ever told you No. No your not good enough to play at the highest level of professional basketball. So you go for it.

The Lakers wasting the pickm, as we all know, was the price of being in the Lebron James business.

He’s also making Zubac look like an allstar out there
