Why The Lakers -- Not LeBron -- Are In Spotlight Over Bronny James Pick

ESPN's Clinton Yates joins the show to talk about the Lakers selecting Bronny James in the 2024 NBA Draft, and whether or not the nepotism claims reflect poorly on anyone involved. Is it actually LeBron's fault that the team he plays for drafted his son? Or is that Rob Pelinka and the Lakers responsibility? Is there even a problem in the first place?!

The “LA Brons”. 😂 Or more subtle? Hey we didn’t name the team after Lebron, we named it after a color. The “LA Bronze”

Laker fan here. ☝🏾 Bronny is a good prospect. ✌🏾 2020 happened. Lebron is a real Laker and AD is a real Laker. They won the chip. End. Of. Discussion.

Nah Lebron shook down the Lakers with his contract. It was a slimy move by Lebron.

[@craighoffman]

How is it slimy? How did he shake them down? He asked for max money and got it. They can say no

@@craighoffman Lebron waited to sign his new contract and manipulated the Lakers into not only drafting Bronny to keep him in LA, but also giving Bronny an unprecedented guaranteed contract for a pick that low.

That’s not a shakedown. That’s capitalism. That’s using your leverage. The Lakers could have said “no thanks,” but they didn’t. That’s on them, not him.

@@craighoffmanthe Lakers have abandoned their championship pedigree to cater to all of Lebron’s wishes. Capitalism or not, it’s a sad state of affairs for the Lakers.

[@craighoffman]

Even if that’s true, that’s not LeBron’s fault. That’s the Lakers.
