Hes only going to play in the South Bay Lakers home games.
I know hes getting somewhat special treatment and nepotism.
Thats fine; honestly, I dont care.
Like I said, its normal.
Now, I think its actually detrimental to him.
I dont like that.
I dont know whose idea it was, but obviously, the Lakers are fine with ittheyre doing it.
On this particular instance, I think thats gone too far, and I dont think it benefits Bronny.
This is such an insane move I don’t even understand the rationale behind it.
Bronny James is an extremely raw basketball prospect.
Knowing that, how on earth does it make any sense to only have him play home games?
Why can’t the Lakers just treat him like any other 55th pick?
Instead, they are deliberately and actively hurting his growth.
Who knows, maybe Bronny never figures it out and eventually flames out.
But the Lakers are for some reason making things a million times harder than they have to be.
Aside from the development aspect, what about the locker room?
The Lakers as an organization are willingly putting Bronny in this impossible spot by being completely unserious.
Listen, I’m not going to thumb my nose at the WFH life.
There’s nothing better in my opinion.
My question is this.
When the team goes out for a road game, what does Bronny do?
Just go to the facility to work out?
Stay home and watch on TV?
If the Lakers are playing at home, does he get called up just to sit on the bench?
And this is suppose tohelphis development?
How is any of that better than actually playing in real games against real competition?
Bronny needs to play, he needs to make mistakes, and he needs to find a rhythm.
In some ways, it’s fitting.
This entire Bronny/Lakers situation has been bizarre since Draft Night, so why should things change now?
