It would be astounding if he didn’t.

Of course he does, and he’ll get one. Only question is when.

Bronny has proven that deserved to be drafted, perhaps even higher than at #55. He didn’t play much in college after his cardiac arrest on the court. That had to be a big mental hurdle to overcome. Being Lebron’s son didn’t help, so he looked terrible last summer. I watched a lot of G league and saw him grow last year. Now he is looking like he could become a decent role player in the league. Perhaps not this year but he is only 20, so he has time. The weird thing is Dalton tore up the summer league last year and game into the season firing. Now he seems to be in his head and has not looked good. With his current level of play, he doesn’t have to worry about being a trade target. Hopefully he can turn it around because we really need some bench scoring.

Held his own against other draft picks and G-Leaguers. Super. Still 3rd in the depth chart at every position so keep on working dude, it’s showing up jn your game so you’re doing that right.

Bronny James caught FIRE for the @lakers! ☀️He scored all 18 of his points in the second half vs. the Celtics. This was his highest scoring game in Vegas. #NBASummer pic.twitter.com/8PeBzBleYd— NBA G League (@nbagleague) July 18, 2025

Thought Koloko was the best defensive big in the G-League last year. Seeing a lot of what he brought to South Bay tonight.— Raj C. (@RajChipalu) July 18, 2025

Not even sure how to respond. First the Trailblazers made it clear that they intend to keep Holiday. 2nd your trade gives them 17 players under contract. 3rd they already have a very good forward rotation with Avidija, Camara who was 2nd team all nba defense last year, Grant and Thybule. Don’t see why they would want to trade for Rui. And losing Rui would give our forward depth very thin. Holiday at the 3? He’s 6’ 4”. He might be a good defender but teams would be posting him up all day. Don’t forget, Rui not only starts at the 3 but he is our best option at the 4 when LeBron rests. Just another example of your Rui hate.

Jrue was huge for the Bucks & Celts during their title runs…but he’s not the same dude. Still a good player but I’m not sure you send out a buncha dudes to get him. Pick up one of these guards off the buyout market, keep your assets for a better trade, and just roll with that. There aren’t alotta moves out there that’ll get us closer to OKC this season.

I feel like Melton will decide where GP2 ends up. Melton comes here, GP2 goes to Golden State. DAM heads north, we get the Glove 2.0

He resigned with the Bucks a week ago Buba.

Good dude and you don’t give up any assets. I’d approve it.

Heeeeeeere we go with this, again.., Quick, get your conspiracy yarn and pictures of all Bill Dudfy’s clients. This time we go full Illuminati!!!!!

Multiple agents, scouts, and rival team representatives believe LeBron James is gearing up to announce he will retire after the 2025-26 season, per @ClutchPoints (https://t.co/bsmiU1VFhB) pic.twitter.com/ldc7qNeErO— Fullcourtpass (@Fullcourtpass) July 17, 2025

This is the only LeBron item worth mentioning. Only thing worth knowing is if it’s a retirement tour.

The Phoenix Suns will get:-Under the second apron-Under the first apron-Under the luxury tax-$194 million tax penalty eliminated-At least $210 million in savings this season-Trade and spending restrictions unlockedBy waiving and stretching Bradley Beal. pic.twitter.com/xSuPKQQgmJ— Yossi Gozlan (@YossiGozlan) July 16, 2025

They are 10mil under the first apron. They could use 10 mil of the non tax payer MLE or they could use the tax payer MLE if 5.1 mil and go over the first apron with minimum contracts. They probably want to avoid repeater tax so they will probably fill out their roster using that 10 mil.

Wonderful, might have a puncher’s chance if they can keep everyone on the foot and contributing come the playoffs.

He has a player option in the 2nd year.

FROM THE ABOVE ARTICLE:

“They both average about 9 assists over their career span, and just the type of players they create with their teammates. They turn them into superstars, they make them bigger than their roles, they make them very important on the floor. Just seeing that and finally getting the chance to go in and experience that would be big for me. Just getting me back to my full form of how I used to play, you know, coming up and being a part of the (NBA) Finals. It’s those playmakers I’m used to having around me that’s leading to wins.”
