That's because he has mentioned that whichever team picks his son, he'll also go there. On the business side, Lakers takes this but they still have a good roster though.
Let's see how Bronny will be given the playing time there, but I am not expecting a lot from him.
Well there was never really a chance of any other team picking Bronny anyway since Rich Paul (their agent) called all the teams to let them know that if they pick Bronny he will got to Australia and they wasted their pick on him. So LA was the only real landing spot for him anyway after this.
I don't see the team as being competitive. Their best player ( AD ) is injury prone and LBJ obviously is turning 39 end of this year, so you can't expect him to carry the work load over a 82 game regular season as well. Who else is there to carry the team? I don't see anybody.
We don't know what's gonna happen if there's no influence intervention gonna happen since Bronny still have a chance to get drafted since he's decent player anyways. Also he has a name on basketball scene so provably the hype he could bring is useful for other team. What I think other team could use him as LBJ kryptonite since provably that he will not do any nasty action to his son in court. But guess teams made already a deal that Bronny will go to Lakers that's why they didn't interfere this event to happen. But let see how LBJ and Bronny will perform together if we can see something exciting with their duo or team up.
Its hard to say that current Lakers roster is title contender since they don't do any big moves this season. So provably that this year there's nothing much to expect for their team so fans should lower down their expectation that Lakers would win a championship.
