Bronny Has 10 NBA Workout Invites But Will Likely Only Attend Lakers and Phoenix? | THE ODD COUPLE

sham shiria reported today that 10 teams have invited bronnie James the son of LeBron James in for workouts but bronnie has turned down most of them and will only go to a few Shams mentioned the Lakers and the Suns not quite sure if that’s it or if those are just two of the handful he may go play for but most people are taking this like he has basically turned down eight workouts and is going to only work out for the Lakers or the Suns what are your thoughts on this I I I don’t know how that’s even possible but it just speaks to maybe that he knows that there’s only you know he’s only going to go to the Lakers and so why bother or whatever I I just I don’t I don’t know why you wouldn’t just go and take a look you know what I mean Christen you you were you weren’t that impressive you were impressive shooting when you when no one was guarding you and then when they played the games you didn’t play that great average four and a half points in college most guys with four and a half points uh playing for a bad USC team probably wouldn’t even be in this circumstance or situation so it’s just kind of weird it kind of tells you where this is and it’s not diabolical but it just I I said it from the very beginning Chris that he would W up with the Lakers and that’s what I still believe I said this way a long time ago that there’s no other situation LeBron wants this to happen and the Lakers want to pacify LeBron as long as he’s wearing a Laker uniform so that’s why maybe uh this is a foro conclusion do do you disagree that that’s what’s Pro that’s what’s probably going to happen no what this tells me you’re right it does look baffling and like what but all it tells me Rob is that he knows he’s going to the Lakers right that’s that’s what it feels like right he knows he’s either going to the Lakers and this with likely a second round pick or they also like look if the suns are willing to draft him in the first round then because that’s the talk that maybe they’ll use their first round pick uh to try to draft to draft Brony in hopes of getting LeBron over there robed to Phoenix obviously he’d be you know nice with the Suns can you imagine LeBron Kevin Durant Devin Booker Yousef nurkic and uh Bradley Beal I mean their problems in the fourth quarters where they were the worst fourth quarter team in the league were that they made bad decisions didn’t have a playmaker obviously LeBron would uh solve that problem I don’t think he’s going there for the minimum because that’s what he’d have to take the minimum to go there um but if they think you know clutch which repres presents brownie if they feel like look Phoenix is serious Matt ishbia is serious about trying to do this then I that make that tells me why they might work out for the Suns because maybe they’ll draft him in the first round ride which is of course guaranteed money um but I I mean I think that’s what what is happening here and I’ll tell you this I if I’m Matt ishbia and let’s say that is my thought process right if I’m ishia I’m gonna draft bronnie so I can get LeBron obviously he needs to do his do diligence and talk to Rich Paul of Clutch and see if that’s actually possible like if we draft browny in the first round will LeBron come that’s what you got to do and I’m sure I’m sure that’s got to be the case if not then we’re not drafting him um but Rob know LeBron the way I do and clutch really the way they do business I don’t think they would tell them I mean they might tell them outright no um but I also think they might just be like hey LeBron’s not you know committing to anything he’s a free agent he wants to look at what’s best for him or they might go just not really talk to ishbia Rob uh that’s what when LeBron’s been a free agent Rob he has been very close to the vest they didn’t tell Cleveland when he first left there you know he was he went dark on Dan Gilbert that’s part of why Gilbert was so upset but he went dark on him didn’t didn’t give him any didn’t tell him hey get rid of Mike Brown I’ll stay keep Mike Brown I’ll you know if you keep him I’m going they were just guessing cuz they they couldn’t get the word from LeBron right when he left Miami Rob to go back to Cleveland they didn’t know you know what I mean like so smart business LeBron I I don’t know that they would even tell Phoenix what they would do I certainly don’t think they commit full board yeah you drive bronnie I’m coming um so ishbia might just take a you know swing at it right swing for the fences and see if it can happen and so that makes sense if you’re clutch right hey if he’s going to drive Brony in the front first round then let’s do it and work out for him otherwise Rob I think most likely he’s just going to end up with the Lakers and they know that and they’re not gonna waste their time working out for other teams yeah I mean that has to be that’s what it feels like it’s a foro conclusion um I just don’t see him playing anywhere else I really don’t this is going to happen this is something LeBron say wants him to be his own man that’s sounds good Chris he said all the right sound bites but this is about LeBron LeBron wants this and he wants to do something that nobody else is done and I get all that that’s what he’s trying to create the resume just just another one none of Michael Jordan’s kids made it to the NBA like not that that is going to like you know but is that going to factor into the goat conversation hey look at LeBron look at his right for some people Chris for for for for some of the right people that really want to push the LeBron right yeah um look it it it’s helping bronnie out in that Rob is’s a good chance he might not even come close to the NBA if if he weren’t LeBron son now it’s different with players but we’ve seen look Giannis his brothers on Milwaukee heck J.R Smith’s brother Chris was with the Knicks for a cup of coffee a sweet roll and a sweet roll absolutely he was there for a little while um and Rob with Nat when Natt hacket gave up coaching Duty or play calling duties in Denver guess who he turned it over to Clint kubak uh Gary kubak son you know we see the nepotism all over the place and so am I gonna get ticked off that it’s LeBron’s gonna use it no I mean I just want to make sure Bron’s cool with it you know what I mean because to me that’s the real question where’s bronnie psyche uh is he fine doing it this way but it it depends like like giannis’s brother Chris does he play or is he just sitting there he just there okay see there’s a difference between the two now that’s what I’m trying to say well I don’t think bronnie you think Bonnie’s actually let’s say the Lakers draft him you think he’s getting time next year I don’t think he should be getting time but if he plays that see if he plays then that yeah I would you agree with that that that that’s where that changes everything because you got to remember there are other guys who have put in the work and all this and perform those are the guys who are losing out everybody acts like if he’s not good enough then it’s hurting your team right that but but people think oh it doesn’t matter whatever if if you’re just if you’re giannis’s brother just sitting there and there’s a 12th man and you don’t play and and and you know I mean I still it’s still nepotism but I do understand that if anybody going to sit there and not play and and you want his brother there because he’s the big star but if bronne starts to get action and play I don’t believe that they’re going to use him as a mascot Chris bronne is going to be a mascot cuz that’s what he’ll be I don’t think Ma I mean I don’t think mascot’s the right he’ll be a mascot he’ll have a uniform and a funny head he’ll put on during the fourth quarter I’m just saying I Rob that’s where and look if I’m the Lakers and obviously you’re talking to LeBron look LeBron you you’re our guy we want you here we love what you’ve done for us you brought us our 17 Championship um we we’ll draft browny but you got to bra you got to make it clear he will o the coaching decisions of playing him are up to the head coach and the staff it’s not up to you and we’re only G to play him if he’s earns the spot like I think Rob what I think what they want LeBron and and Brownie and the whole clutch team I think what they want Rob is browny to be in a position where he can develop into an NBA player and I think they feel like that’s better done in the NBA than playing in college somewhere and so I think he’s got you know he’s got all day as long as he wants you know how it works to work with the assistant coaches maybe he’ll play some in the g-league he won’t sign a two-way contract but you can play in the g-league without the two-way contract you can sign as NBA player and then still trained in the G league so I think it’s more of that right I would be stunned unless Brony were actually to go out there and play well in the NBA I would be stunned if he got any time next year with the lak I I could clearly see bronny his first double double it’ll be 10 high fives 12 tower waves and he’ll have a double double I’m just saying mail car right
