In reply to Chrissy

Those players are at least deserving of a pick, unlike...ahem...

What a joke that organisation has become. The doctor must be rolling over in his grave.

Not really a takeover by European players, the American players do not stay in college long enough to develop their game to be NBA ready. However, it is good the standards of other countries are rising that their players could be number one picks

In reply to Chrissy

Plus, not all Euro players are White, Chrissy. You're saying it's Affirmative Action?

Well, what about the legacy admission that just took place?

Rich black kid boxing food out of the mouth of a deserving poor black kid looking for a come up.

your acting like he was seleted top 10 or in the first round the lakers picked him because he is lebrons son no doubt .but it was the bottom of the draft it dont matter they are not expected to be very talented so low in the draft .and most observers say he's not the worst player. Let the kid live out his dreams .

In reply to velo

does it matter if he was top 10 or 55

it is a bad look and it is a further setback (if America needs one) to any fairness gains people struggling for

it is nepotism...

you see how JJ get wuk with ZERO experience and guys like Cassell there for years can't get a look in

is there a letter remaining for JJ to use?

Now i can agree with the jj reddick thing that looks suspicious .i was not a fan of the lakers signing bronny james especially the strong arm tactics of lebron james agents saying if any other team signed him they will send him to australia .all im saying is he was not the worst player by observers for the position he was drafted

In reply to velo

Dude. Didn't dude average 4 in college with awful defense? He was barely bench level at his university! Nuff prospects looking at that shit and while getting shipped off to China or Serbia.

JJ's hire looked suspicious but this didn't?? What kind of meat riding are you engaging in??? Rich Paul calling teams telling them to not draft the kid?

Boston should have done like Leger joked, and select him at 54 and hold him ransom for an Austin Reeves trade.

In reply to velo

It's you're, and why should a rich kid who doesn't deserve it live out that dream but not a dude from the projects who is 3 or 4 times better?

Can't say that shyte and then come down on Harvard legacy admissions.

I saw someone joking that they can't wait for his father to retire so that he can be promptly shipped to a Russian league.

Jeanie Buss pupa a tun ova inna him grave.

In reply to doosra

Bro, a certain someone's son was averaging like 12 (not 4) in college, and was decent, yet his dad stayed true to the game and didn't pull this nonsense.

No short cuts. Yet they want to disparage him because he is an 'asshole'. Well, I'd say that this move is 'assholery' of a different sort, but we all saw it coming.

Didn't we tell them what was going to happen with JJ to boot, with that podcast and brown nosing taking place? Didn't we?

Stevie Wonder saw this coming.

Bronny James will collect a fat check for a year then exit the NBA, many former NBA players' sons did that.

yeah, so now it won't sound so foolish when they say its the world finals

these things are part of sports jeannie buss picked a man to coach the lakers that she was sleeping with in phil jackson was a conflict of interest and gave him sweeping powers in that organisation .or the fact giannis brother thanasis is only in the nba because his brother wants him there in milwauke.or michael jordan telling the us olympics he will not play if they let isiah thomas play.

In reply to velo

i have no doubts about it

what i wondered is why you seemed to have thought that there was no nepotism in this case

lol
