Lakers are in the second apron so they literally can’t trade for Grant unless they decide to move one of AD or Lebron for him thanks to how their roster is set up and the fact Grant is making a crapton of money.

When watching different vids on youtube in almost every trade the Lakers make for a big name player they're working DLo into some sort of sign and trade. Not sure how realistic it is, but I'm sure he wouldn't turn down free money to make something work lol.

every thing about how the Lakers have handled their head coach position just seems entirely out of the Vivek playbook from the first couple of years he had the team lol

Maybe the app is to prevent him from needing to have any potentially embarrassing face-to-face interactions with his players.

Eh, this is a bit dubious to me. Is this the first time hearing about this? Like, JJ Reddick wasn't the most popular NBA player, but he was certainly a decently known names, as a role guy and he's been on the most prominent (if not THE most) NBA talking heads the last few years.

They just have to hope that Bronny is still available at #17 and they'll be all good

On the one hand this is the one contract the Lakers have that can probably get them something good in return. On the other hand I don’t know if any other team thinks he’s any good anymore.

Not sure if it's been reported anywhere but it looks like the Lakers took Bronny James in the second round.

when you lose one of the best player dev coaches in the game because you really needed to hire Lebron’s podcast buddy as head coach.

Easily the best offseason move they’ve done. Unfortunately for them, it’s still nowhere near enough.

How many games before Brooks or McMillan hits reading of the side of the head with a clipboard and storms off the court?

And Bronny James gets a 4 year 8 million dollar nepo contract... I guess if they're going to be stuck with him at least he's not costing much.

Props to Skip Bayless for making the long-overdue transition to stand-up

When you burn a draft pick on Bronny because his dad told you to and then his knees immediately give out

[pdxKingsFan]

On one hand none of us would have ever heard of this guy if his dad wasn't his dad, on the other hand being known solely for "daddy got me the job" in what is allegedly one of the last meritocracies on earth is a pretty huge burden to bear.

The lakers are a joke. I LOVE IT!

Bronny with the guaranteed contract!

From Davion Mitchell to Lu Dort... that's accurate, in a few months he might compare him with Giannis and then Wemby.

at least JJ has a somewhat realistic ceiling from Bronny; a quality role player.

He's not out here pumping him up to be the next great thing.

Lu Dort isn't the worst comparison in the world. Bronny is significantly smaller both in terms of height/wingspan/reach as well as weight, but being a defensive specialist is a reasonable outcome. And honestly it's probably the only way he gets any real minutes as a smaller guard who isn't a primary ballhandler or a knockdown shooter.
