    Agreed. I couldn't care less about this kid and the nepotism that got him where he is.

    Unlikely to make the league? He has a guaranteed 4 year contract!

    Life-changing money. For 99.9% of everybody else. But not him. So it really doesn't matter.

    He has a guaranteed "exactly until LeBron retires and not a second longer" contract.

    It cuts both ways. Mainly I feel bad for the kid because of everyone piling on him. (Ironic, given my bitching about Scoot, but even then my bitching is not about Scoot, it's about the Blazers FO. The bitching about Bronny is personal. Just let him struggle in anonymity like so many fringe players.)

    Nobody likes spoiled rich kids getting what they don't deserve. Spoiled rich kids who are getting what they don't deserve have it coming.

    No one forced him to go pro after one year of underwhelming college ball, and he and/or his dad didn't have to scare off other teams from drafting him for a chance to play together. He deserves all the grief he's getting, and then some.

    But that’s just not going to happen. I believe the Lakers have the most national TV games. People will talk about him every time.

    Apparently, Blazers have 3rd hardest opening schedule (opponent win% before jan 1):

    How do they know the winning % of these teams before the season starts. Last year means nothing.
