Absolutely. Welcome him ASAP
Just what the Spurs need. Fills 5 boxes.
Great for Wama to have a mentor like Lebron
Only if he will be a sub
I'd rather we extend Tre Jones
Yes but nothing over 10 mil a year
No
My butt is still sore from Pop and GNob giving that 2013 Champ away
Lebron stole my girlfriend and I'm not over it.
Other. Specify in comments
You have 0% factual knowledge of Lebron and the Lakers 100% not wanting Bronny on their team bad enough to give back something if he's picked sooner.
How long had you been together when Lebron stole your girlfriend?As for the question, I'd rather see Victor suffer a career ending injury and the Spurs move to Seattle before I'd want to see the King and Bronny show in San Antonio.
Ya continuing to see current Spurs miss Wemby with lobs is going to be soo much better then seeing Lebron toss him 6 accurate lobs per game.
Clutch and the James previous fake spin that they wanted him to be his own man, go to whatever team he could.

I'm all on board with taking Bronny at 48 and holding the Lakers hostage to trade for him. The alternative is probably selling the pick for cash - and I personally have no rooting interest in how much cash the owners have.
Does a 2RP always have a cash value? Like some sucker teams always just cough up $ for those? What if there is no market?
I wonder if a team could just elect to not make a pick and forfeit it then? Or draft some overseas player you have no intention of inviting to camp or try to sign?
Hard to believe there wouldn't be at least one team who would take it for the minimum amount of cash (I believe it's $110,000)
Sheesh
Any truth to this rumor of #17?
Lakers Likely to Pick Bronny James with 17th NBA Draft Pick | Watch (msn.com)
It depends on the pick #, but they’ve gone for a couple of million recently. I think there’s always a market of a few teams looking to get into the 30s and early 40s.
The Spurs are looking at the 25 draft and don’t want to mess up their chances for a one year of Lebron. 2024-25 is another year for development for Wemby and hopefully 24 draft being interesting prospects to the Spurs. The Spurs are aiming for the bottom 8 next year.
Eric Zhang is that you?
I doubt Wemby is on board for another Suck / Tank combo.
Lebron and Bronny would probably be a very tradeable asset after one year if the Spurs were to acquire them and hold their rights for 2 years.
Lebron keeps himself in top 2% shape in the world imo.
Plus they will be huge to ticket sales.
Many NBA owners caring only about the money.
Lakers News: Analyst Predicts LeBron James' Exit from Los Angeles (msn.com)
Do it Brian Wrong.
Personally I don’t want Lebron anywhere near Wemby. We have a 20 year old superstar who by all accounts wanted to be drafted here and wants to stay here. By all accounts he is on board with the front office and their plan to build a team. Why would anyone want lebron, Mr Player Empowerment, in his ear every plane trip telling him to force the team to mortgage the future, spend all their assets and then when all the assets are gone just leave to another team. Maybe 5-6 years of prime lebron would be worth it but not 1-2 years of 40 year old lebron.
When did this allegedly happen?
Cleveland I are you seriously holding it against Lebron for leaving hole Cleveland who oh by the way he took to their 1st Finals ever for Miami?
Miami Boshs health took a turn and it was always going to be a 4 year gig. Ok for other people to take their computer, legal, whatever skills to another company but you insist Lebron has to stay where his White owner tells him to. O-kay.
Cleveland II he brings them a farking Championship over the Golden gots. Kyrie is who walked away, not Lebron. But again, you expect him to stay after making his White Owner a ton of money and completely uplifting the Cleveland / Akron area.
Lebron imo would accept his new role as mentor and TEAM player with Wemby.
Not going to happen, but LeBron finishing his career here would be the best thing to ever happen to the Spurs outside of their lottery luck with robinson, Duncan and Wemby
Lebron Hating Spurfan.
James averaged 25.7 points, 8.3 assists and 7.3 rebounds in 71 games this past season -- the most games he has played in six seasons with the franchise. He shot 54% from the field and a career-best 41% from 3
And he plays excellent defense.
I love how the Lebron haters and not-so-thinly veiled racists pop out of the woodwork to suddenly give a about nepotism in sports now… all while forking money over to the Jones family by buying Cowboys jerseys
Come on now Scott...you know that it is Messicans keeping the Cowboys alive. They keep the Lakers alive too. I know you've been to his Spurs game when the Lakers come to San Antonio
Wait...which member of the Jones family did they draft?
I think the haters missed the target with their "nepotism" narrative.
The issue should never be that Lebron is favoritizing his son (what idiot wouldn't??)
The issue is that Bronny barely scored 4pts/game in a weak conference...
Usually before giving a job to your son (in your company for ex) you make sure he goes to the best school and doesn't quit after the 1st year, to assure he'd be a minimum qualified.
Personnally? I dgaf except for the stupid clickbaits all over youtube, every show has to talk about him...smh
Here’s another one, coming out of the woodwork. Thanks for self-identifying.
Edit: my sincerest apologies if you were seriously asking because I wasn’t exactly clear in my post above that I’m referring to how the Jones family (among others) fills their entire executive ranks with their dumbass family who has failed at every step the last 30 years at running an NFL team. That’s their right to do that though, just like its Lebron’s right to exert his leverage to get his son a deal.
However, if you are just doing the thing where “BuT tHe JoNeS fAmIlY oWnS tHe TeAm” thing, then yeah, you’re either just a Lebron hater or worse, a racist.

Bronny could have never picked up a basketball in his life. He’s exerting the influence he’s earned to get his kid a job that he doesn’t deserve… exactly how every other rich, usually white, asshole has done for generations. Most of the people who only think it’s a big deal now is because its a black man doing it.
The whole “But [whoever] owns the team, it’s different!” Take is just an attempt to justify the racism or Lebron hate. Bron owns the thing (his body and his ability to play basketball) that the Lakers want, and he’s using his leverage to get what he wants. More in’ power to him. I’m far more concerned with dip s like the Trump kids and Hunter Biden getting by off nepotism in areas that actually ing matter than I am Lebron using his earned leverage to get his son a job.
I really don't see any racism tbh, I recall ppl making fun of Geoge Karl's son who had a better pedigree iircc or Luke Walton getting the Lakers job
People just like to on powerful people, whatever the colour of their skin, Lebron is just everywhere in the NBA medias, it makes people overreact.
It's up to Bronny to shut their mouths, he's almost lucky, expectations are so low, even if he's decent it'll be a win for him.
There was not nearly this kind of discussion about either of those guys (or the countless other examples of white guys benefiting from nepotism in sports or any other field). I realize you’re in France (or are from France and now in the US?) so maybe the cultural element of this is a little different… but there is definitely a major racial element to this. The venn diagram of folks up in arms about Bronny nepotism and the folks who are up in arms about slavery being taught in schools and like that… it’s a perfect circle.
None had close to the impact Lebron had. We're just seing a proportional reaction.
Look I'm not denying racial issues or motivations from some of the haters, I'm just saying it's a corelation more than the causation I gave you.
I currently live in London, but I'am aware of the social issues in te US, they're the same in europe. I have myself been disciminated my whole life bc of my origins (my dad was algerian and being arab in France is worse than black
But generalizing/oversimplifying is just going to make you angrier when more nuance and maybe analysis (respectfully) will give you a better picture
It's a basketball, networking, media, power, lobby, social injustice (financially speaking) issue, not a racial one. Even if in the lot you'll find some also racially motivated.
I hope I don't sound patronizing man, I've just been in your place when I was younger and know how much discriminations can impact the way we think. When emotions are involved, we just can't think clearly sometimes and we build up scenarios.
The Bronny's draft criticism is not racially motivated, it's just a great opportunity to on Lebron who's as much hated than he's loved
