In short he is not NBA ready, and for sure they will be rough against him. I can't imagine other players, even rookie or sophomore trash talking Bronny, as we have found out that he shouldn't be in the league for now, but because he is the son of Lebron, Lakers have no choice but to get him.

So I'm anticipating him like guarding lots of young players like him, like Jalen Green for example of the Houston Rockets. And if Bronny but any chance guard this kid, then there could be some trash talking and it will be good to see what will be the reaction of Bronny.  Grin
Bronny has his whole career ahead of him. He just entered the major league and it is difficult for him to adapt to everything new. Let the boy get used to the new circumstances and then the game will go up. Not everything at once. Yes, there may be difficulties at the very beginning, but this goes away with experience. So do not pay attention to this now. Let everything go its own way and there is no need to rush things.

We never know what future will be it's a matter of experienced and enough playing time, if he got that chance then maybe he'll improve something but for sure criticizm will always be there as many eyes from those people who loves to attract readers and viewers will drag his name to earn clicks and views.

Along the way, he got his paycheck critics will get their views and both sides will benefits from it, he just need to get use of it.

Isn't Bronny embarrassed yet? I mean, even before being drafted, a lot of people were already criticizing him since everyone knows he'll likely get drafted due to LeBron's connections and influence with the Lakers. I think we shouldn't criticize him too much, as we already know his capabilities. Instead, consider it a gift to LeBron, who sees playing with his son as one of his greatest fulfillments.

Unfortunately I think that's going to be anytime this season he is squared up against any starting player.  He couldn't separate from kids in college, I actually feel bad he probably got pressured to go into the draft so he can "play" with his dad.  Kid could have benefitted from a couple years at the college level.  He is going to get embarrassed this year unless JJ does the right thing and not get him exposed.

I don't think Bronny will be embarrassed in the upcoming season because we have already seen his stats in NCAA, and his performance in the summer league. In other words, we already have a rough idea of his skills and what to expect from him. Anyway, taking into account his stats, I highly doubt JJ will be give him much playing time.

Charles Lee to Charlotte
Mike Budenholzer to Phoenix
JJ Redick to the Lakers
Alex Caruso to Oklahoma City, Josh Giddey to Chicago
Rob Dillingham to Minnesota
J.B. Bickerstaff to Detroit
and more on that link.

Josh Giddey on Chicago, well, they are mostly about offense and Giddey is a good passer so he might help. Caruso on the other hand to OKC Thunder is something, they will have some defensive strength against backcourt players using him. They don't need a scorer, they have Jalen Williams, Chet Holmgren, and SGA, so the offense is covered at a high level.
There are many questions on these off-season trades that happened.
Quote
1. With a new coach, will the Phoenix play better right now with Budenholzer?
2. With a completely new coaching staff, will the LA Lakers perform better? Or they will stay the same as last season? Or even worse?
3. Will the Thunder be better on defense now that they acquired Caruso? Last season, they're 4th in defensive rating.
5. How can CP3 develop Wembanyama? Will we see San Antonio as the new "Lob City" because of the CP3-Wemby Duo?
6. How will Bronny be fitted into the system of Coach JJ Redick?
7. Is PG13 the missing link for the Sixers to clinch that NBA Finals? Take note that Embiid hasn't surpassed the 2nd round ever in his career.
8. With a new head coach, how will Charles Lee make Charlotte way better because they've been on the bottom for years already.
9. Is changing a coach for Cleveland and Detroit be better?
10. Is acquiring Mikal Bridges the missing piece for the Knicks?

So many questions, and it will be answered when the regular season starts more than a week from now. My predictions will be Thunder will remain at the top for the West, and possibly be better in the playoffs, the Nuggets will not win the Western Conference because of their shitty bench, the Celtics will still be the favorites to win the title because of how formidable they are, and the Lakers will be worse than that of last season. Wink

Solid predictions.  If Boston stays healthy they are a lock for a 1-3 spot in the east.  Next set knicks, bucks, sixers, I think range from 2-6 health permitting, and then clevland, orlando, miami, Pacers range in the 4-10 area.  As knicks fan it sucks to see but Boston team is deep and going to be hard to beat in a 7 games series.

Playing in college at USC (where he struggled) and in the summer.league (where he struggled) is nothing like stepping foot on the court with real nba players.  He will barely get the ball if he ever steps foot on the court,.  He is not playing against teenagers he is playing against men.  His size alone will only allow him to shoot 3s right now, and that's not his game.

Here’s a funny video of Rob Pelinka telling a story about Bronny getting switched onto LeBron on defense and then getting toasted and trash talked. Not sure how true it is or what kind of feelings it will generate from Bronny, but worth the watch, or read.

“Bronny got switched onto LeBron and he took him baseline and up and under off the glass… The words exchanged afterwards were probably more challenging than anything else.”

That seems to be where this is going for his team. I just wish that the Bull are still going to honor him and will give him even a year or two contract even for low amount.

That's probably a good choice for him if he's given that opportunity. To retire to the team that he beloved the most.

Not sure about the Bulls. But it's likely that the media will get an update from Derrick Rose on his next steps in the NBA in the coming days or weeks. In the meantime, it's only known that Rose won't receive any of his $3,3 mln salary for the 24/25 season after the Grizzlies waived him upon his own request. Undecided
That's sad.

It was a sure money after all but then, this is what is waiving for.  Undecided

I know that Rose is quite rich together with his wife but that's still a career money that should go on him. I am still waiting for some updates too.

but I want to see Giannis, Luka, Steph, Zion, KD or LeBron change teams.
I guess that there is a lot of possibilities with Giannis but it will take time until then.

As for Steph, I don't think that the Warriors will let him go and the same goes for Luka. Although some rumors about Steph and Lebron teaming up.

I think that we'll never see such thing in the nearest future. And for KD, he's known for that so when he's done with the Suns, he'd move elsewhere but where?

Yeah, I'm not seeing Steph leaving the Warriors, he could be just one of those few players that will finished their careers with the team that draft team. And there is no need for Steph to go out and try his luck on free agency.

He had build the Warriors dynasty already, and that is good enough for him to cemented his legacy with them. And with his performance in the recent Olympics, Steph already put his name on top. Giannis? perhaps, as we can see the frustrations in him when they exit the playoff. Luka? he is still trying, and with Klay now with Dallas, he will go out for another championship run.
Although I remember that if there is one team that he would move before retirement, it was his dad's team the Charlotte Hornets.

But that won't happen I guess and the Warriors would give him some amazing deals to retire on them. And you're right, I also don't think think that he'd waste the time that he's built the team and that dynasty he's got along with them.

Let see if Bulls managements will consider that knowing it might be good for the business as we all know that there are still fans that would love to see him retiring his jersey in the place where he once own the crowd, just give him the minimum and give those fans that chance to show love for him again,.

Not a long term but giving him that opportunity to give his last season for the team who gave him the chance to showcase his talents and established his name a one of those superstar who played the game.

NBA Central posted this on social media about the odds for Jimmy Butler’s hairstyle on media day. I thought it was pretty funny.

Bald +265
Dyed Hair +550
Afro +550
Mohawk +650
Twisties With Low Fade +850
Buzzcut +900
Emo Hairstyle +950
Braids +1100
Manbun +1100
Dreadlocks +1100
Pigtails / Mickey Mouse Hairstyle +1200
The “Jimmy Neutron” +1400

Hilarious.
I am going for Pigtails the Mickey Mouse hairstyle. That's definitely going to surprise everyone, the media, his teammates, and all the Miami Heat fans. Cheesy I think many are also expecting him to try a new one. Perhaps gambling sites can also make some odds for this, maybe next year.

This is another good read from Bleacher Report which was just posted recently a few hours ago.

And it means that the Bulls are not interested on getting him to be at least to finished his career as a Bull. So I do agree, they really forget about how DRose did help them or at least a promise that they will retire in the limelight since MJ. It is just very unfortunate to see him getting injured and then he lost all his athleticism, high flyer and then he has also a killer cross over. He even had a battle with a prime Lebron in the East.

It's just all business at the end of the day for the Bulls, maybe they will recognized him, but I don't see them getting him back for those memories. Still if ever DRose will decide to retire, we as fans witness one of the best player in this generation.

Got remember this clip when Rose got traded to Knicks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X80tPUhqiHg

I feel sorry for him at that time since its like he's been dumped by his team. That determine that Bulls is not going after with their long departed player since there's nothing to get from him. Those situations tells everything that NBA is pure business. They only want those players when they are healthy and solid contributor, but once they are done with him then think he's not good for their team they immediately dump them. I know management always want the best for their team, but its really unfortunate to hear such story where a player want to became loyal to their franchise but unexpected things happened.

I don’t think the Bulls really owe Rose to the point they need to sign him to let him retire there. He’s pretty much retired several times already now. He was never the same after his injury due to his athletic play style and now he’s aging to the point he really can’t provide teams with much. He got plenty of chances. He wasn’t able to live up to what could have been, but what is now is over.

[......]


Jimmy’s hairstyle has definitely become a sensation, especially after surprising us last season with that look. Now, it’s even up on bookies for betting--what a move, Jimmy. Just got me thinking, do bookies have limits on wagers for that particular their lines? Like, what if Jimmy told all his friends to bet on him going bald for $1 million, and he made sure it happens? Easy cash, right?

Yeah, I remember him donning like a "emo" style of haircut last season.

For Derrick Rose, I'm not sure if the Chicago Bulls will get him or even honor him. If he has given that city at least one ring during his prime, he could have been put in the rafter together with his number. Unfortunately, they fell short even if DRose won that MVP, he wasn't able to push the Bulls in the finals when he was really at his peak and very athletic. At least though, he was able to recover and play some seasons after his injury and all we can think of is the "what if" he didn't get injured and continue to be that high flyer during his time with the Bulls.

For many times there are so many discussion about Bulls should get back Rose to their team but nothing happens. If Bulls would really want this to happen then provably this comeback already happened before. But its like they cannot get anything on Rose return that's why maybe they ignore this idea and just focus on other things that can help their team. Although its really good to see if this event will happen, but I think what's better for Rose now is to retire since he earn so many heart break so far and he don't need to prove himself anymore. Many fans would remember his greatness and also great remark which he achieve the youngest MVP record in NBA history.

Lol! This ones hilarious though. But, I am not considering braids, dreadlocks, or emo hairstyles. I think he's done that already If my memories serves me right. There's gonna be a huge chance that Jimmy won't be repeating those styles.
IMO, afro, mohawk or pigtails is most likely he's gonna do this time, if he's considering again in giving us such hilarious and surprising hairstyles in media day lol.
