They're trying to squeeze water from a stone at this point. More content, no matter awful it is, equals more opportunities to have ads.

Screaming A Smith badly exposed trying to provide analytical draft coverage. Tough watch and listen from that perspective, just let him babble on shows during the day instead.

I fear we may bid him "adieu" before the regular season starts.

At the end of the day, every one of the 2nd round picks is traded at least once. 15 of the 28 picks are traded today. This is insane. Lakers must be one of the very few teams NOT involved in a trade.

Bronny means LeBron stays which means money for the Buss family and other minorty owners.

The chance of either Bronny or McCullar having a meaningful career is slim.

LeBron was never leaving and could have always signed Bronny as a Undrafted FA.

Bronny had a dream to hear his name called, wherever in the draft it was called. They don’t call your name for an UDFA signing.

It's a gesture which James' camp would appreciate. More importantly, a team would try to tie with one of those GOATs and will continue to profit from that tie after the player retires. Bronny should be interpreted from a business perspective. If he perfoms on court, good; if not, also good for business.

ESPN would use that idea. A day 3 episode talking about the UDFAs.
