    You the average LeBron James fan knows what # he wears? All they see is his name.

    You serious?
    This kid is an international sensation based simply on who his dad is. People are eating that shit up. Did you see the ticket sales based solely on him MAYBE playing in some G-League games. You and others on here may hate him because of who his father is, but you can’t deny the draw.

    Your really trying to argue that 500k people bought Bronny jerseys thinking their his dad's?

    The Celtics got a pick for dropping from #1 to #3. That extra pick was the 2019 #14 pick which the Celtics used on Romeo Langford.

    How many jerseys did Mike James sell? He played until he was 38 in 2014 with 11 different teams.

    Jarred McCain tore his minuscus and will have knee surgery.

    Philly was struggling this year so this might cost them wins and make it harder to climb into the playin or playoffs.

    McCain was probably the ROY favorite so that could give Clingan a real opportunity as the rookies have been a weak group.

    It wasn't totally inaccurate, though. Trading down for Tatum resulted in a pick (Langford) that was part of the White trade. But, I'd have to say that was considered a pretty small component of it, with the rest being Josh Richardson, a first round pick, and a pick swap.

    Partially beat me to it by an hour...

    He's a draw because of who his father is, and how gullible laker fans are

    I still remember @THE HCP big bro saying nobody in the league would take Pritchard over Scoot

    One way to get Lebron to buy the Blazers would be to trade Taze Moore for Bronny Jr!!! Do I need the green font?

    And Payton Pritchard is better than Scoot. What your point?

    Luka with 41 points on 17 shots and it’s still the 3rd quarter. And he’s only shot 8 FTs.

    Payton Pritchard is running away with 6thMOTY and it’s not close. He’s been incredible. By the way, this is his 5th season. In his 2nd season, he averaged 6ppg 2apg. Scoot averaging 11ppg 5 apg in his second season. Get it?

    Michael Carter Williams averaged 16 6 6 and won rookie of the year, then got worse every season. Just being young doesn't mean a player will improve - in fact most don't. Pritchard is playing great now but thats a very rare case where a player improves that much. Many players average bad stats like Scoot in their second seasons and the overwhelming majority don't develop into very good NBA players.
