How I think the Lakers should respond: tell LeBron “we offered cash for that pick and Utah refused. There’s nothing further we can do.” LeBron’s not signing with Utah. So Bronny would be on the Jazz. And I really don’t believe in Bronny at 32, so yeah, it now does seem like a bad idea. Oh well. Hopefully it brought 15 minutes worth of amusement on JazzFanz.
I actually don't think that Bronny at 32 is a huge waste of a pick. Mostly in the sense that the majority of 2nd rounders don't ever make it, but I also think Bronny has some potential.
