Event 2024 NBA DRAFT - JUNE 26 & June 27 2024 - WEDNESDAY 5:30 PM PST & THURSDAY - 1 PM PST - ABC & ESPN

Regarding Lebron/Bronny, my funny take first; Lebron is helping his kid get paid so he won’t be living in his basement leaching off him forever!

Now seriously. I think to Jordan and Shaq. They had kids that just never really had it. They are fine I am sure. There have been many families with sons that have made the league and more in the pipeline currently. Of course this is the first time dad is in the league simultaneously. That is not a bad thing. What is bad is he is gaming the game. He has his best friend acting as kids agent, telling teams not to draft kid or he will go play in Australia. That is where I have a problem. When Griffey Jr was drafted by the Mariners, Senior moved to Seattle. He didn’t try to get Junior forced to the Reds. I just can’t help thinking Lebron is just a weasel. A rich one, but still a weasel. My 10 year old was watching the draft wondering how great it was Bronny was falling to the Lakers. I had to explain how it was a conspiracy to cheat. He’s not a fan any longer. Glad it was the Lakers being a part of the sham. I already hated the purple and piss.

 

I don't know, do you really think anyone other then the Lakers had interest in a small SG who can't shoot? He has value for the Lakers creating feel good father-son content rather then letting the story drift back to the team's poor performance and outlook.

STOMP

 

Living in Arizona, it was vastly reported locally that the Suns were interested in him. And reported Bronny was interested in the Suns. But I think that was probably manufactured by James Jones, Suns GM who is buddies with Lebron. So the whole thing was just an orchestrated scam. Another sport stepping on the toes of the WWE.

 

I assume you're talking about Clingan, not Sarr? (Both were mentioned in the post you responded to.) I think he's actually 7'2" barefoot, with pretty decent footwork and fundamentals. I liked him as a frosh and was surprised how much he improved as a soph. I'm cautiously optimistic.

 

Poor taste alert...

Bronny nearly died last year. Magic Johnson was thought to have punched his ticket with AIDS 30+ years ago. LeBron's agent told everyone to not draft Bronny. It would only be fitting for Magic's circle jerk congratulations to be the thing that did Bronny in before suiting up for the Lakers.

 

ayyyyy, let’s fucking go FAMS

 

We don’t live in Arizona and saw the same reports.

 

Were you alerting us to the fact that you were about to write a post with the intention of it being in poor taste?

Also was your post supposed to make any fucking sense at all (specifically the last sentence)?

 

Thanks FAMS

 

What? Sir this post did not make any sense.

 

Did you go with Sir because it's handiman?

 

Anybody see this report about the Duke kid Filipowski and his slide down the draft? Had to do with his Mormon girlfriend and his family? Then Utah drafts him!? Girlfriend is like 29, he’s 20. Been dating since HS. Guess she had this all planned out about cutting his family out of the kids life….. and it worked. Saying this situation came up in interviews with teams….. they knew all about it.

 

That is some creepy shit if true. Oh and congratulations on the award, I don't think anyone else that posts on here has an Emmy. Well deserved too, the replays are really good and the highlight packages are phenomenal.

 

Second round picks are trade fodder. I'm happy we traded out of the second round. It would have been pointless to pick any of those guys.

 

Nice to know our local talkers are getting national attention. They are pretty good the most respected is a former boxer from NY. He’s not a homer.

 

So you're guaranteeing now that no player available after #33 will be better than any player currently on our roster?

 

Making sense is the least of the concerns I figured that would trigger... I didn't think karma would be that tough of a concept. Maybe a simplistic list will make it clearer.

1) Bronny nearly died last year.
2) Magic Johnson was thought to have punched his ticket with AIDS 30+ years ago.
3) LeBron's agent told everyone to not draft Bronny.
4) It would only be fitting for Magic's circle jerk congratulations (regarding Bronny suiting up with LeBron...as a Laker) to be the thing that did Bronny in before suiting up for the Lakers.

Magic is congratulating his team for slime ball behavior. He escaped the grim reaper. If his b.s. were the final straw for Bronny, there would be a certain irony.

 

I’d take that bet.

 

Oh so we were supposed to decipher some total nutball superstitious nonsense that you had already identified as in bad taste as making some sort of coherent sense... maybe it threw us off because we didn't think an agent trying to get his client to a specific team would warrant (even in the weird world of karmic foolishness) the death of a 19 year old young man.
