I wouldn't be surprised even if i see Bronny in the starting 5 next season, because this will be a story they can sell to the media.
Will Lebron be focused on winning or how much time will he spend on the court together with Bronny?
Do you think Lebron would accept that Bronny would mostly getting DNP? Or be in the G-league even?
I mean, it can still happen that Bronny is actually a solid player, but i think they will have a lot of family drama's there, without much of thinking of winning anything.
I'm glad that Dallas avoided such an issues.
JJ won't sacrifice his coaching career for Lebron, he won't make Bronny a starter. It is different from sacrificing a late 2nd to avoid fighting with your best player and the agent of your 2nd best player, to actually letting none factor player starts over valid options.
Lebron only has power because Lakers management were clueless after dr. Buss passed away, he brought the kids legitimacy with a title and them recruiting 2 superstars. Before 2018 Lakers were losing race to freakin Greg Monroe. Right now he still holds the power of being the best player Lakers can have.
But atm, Pelinka and Jeanie Buss has some fab packing, and they have avoided needlessly trading their picks. And chased coaches for long term projects (Hurley as a college coach, and JJ as a young coaching prodigy.
I think they are doing what many teams does, and enjoying being in playoffs for now. Until the NBA gifts them the next big thing.
