    More than half the people in this forum are embarrassing themselves. It’s quite sad. I almost cried the other day about it. I didn’t because that would be too sissy for a grown man, but you know what I mean.

    :Laugh: .... well that IS different than back in the early days we were met with Temecula and do you want to see my arm? It is a kinder, gentler You and that's really cool. ;) But you're pre-maturely burying us for no good reason here, we really are already a better team, BEFORE Rob does a "good" deal. The reasons have been put out there with no real honest rebuttal from you. The area most of us glass half full types will admit is that yes it's not ideal for next season that LeBron and AD are playing in these Olympics. One or both could be injured in some way and it's possible one or both will start the season not in peak form like AR this year after FIBA. But the Olympics Are a big deal and it's our game that every country is coming to kick our a** and take the honor for themselves, like was going on for awhile before Dream Team One went over there to play all the Pros other countries were sending.

    Good defensive instincts, but with no jumper whatsoever, he won't make it in the league. He's point guard sized but he doesn't have PG skills and he's athletically average.
    He has a long way to go before he is a rotation player.

    His ceiling is a homeless man's Derek Fisher. If he can get a jumper, he might stick. That's the only way. GP2 and Scottie Pippen Jr eventually cracked rotations so all hope isn't lost.

    He'll be in the G league this year, and probably next year as well. Maybe by his 3rd year, he can crack the rotation as a best case scenario.

    Good defensive instinct is like saying a guy is good at pulling a girls numbers and then goes limp when its time to get down.

    I think what we are all really concerned with is can Bronny get a girl pregnant this year? If so, and if he somehow manages a 19+ year career, maybe he can play with his son and we can be the first franchise with Grandfather/Father/Son.

    Without confirming, I would go on a limb and say we had more playoff wins as a franchise than all those guys together playing in multiple teams.

    I wouldn't mind the nepotism if he was on a 2 way contract, but the kid taking a roster spot really irks me.

    Ball had 11.4 WS through five seasons, but he hasn't played in two seasons, and he has no playoff appearances.
    Russell has 24.6 WS, one ASG, and a 3-8 playoff record outside LA.
    Randle has 43.3 WS, 3 ASG, and a 7-8 playoff record.
    Ingram has 27.2 WS, 1 ASG, and 2-8 playoff record.
    Nance has 33.4 WS, and a 12-19 playoff record.
    Hart has 27.4 WS, and a 13-11 playoff record.

    I never much liked Kuzma, but I liked all those other guys. The biggest problem with that group is this, other than the fact that Ball may be done with the NBA:

    Ball(21m)/
    Russell(19m)/
    Ingram(36m)/Hart (13m)
    Randle(29m)/Nance(12m)
    Just those six players earn 130m.

    Add in Zubac at 12m. Get some amnesty for Ball, and you could build an interesting team, but I can't see them winning a ring. So, if the goal was a ring, mission accomplished.

    What does this have to do with Bronny? Not much.

    Uhhhh, you know you play for the Lakers, right?
    You will need all of the fan support you can muster with your long development ahead of you.

    Surprised he didn’t name anyone who has played a lick of defense in five years.
