The low-cost No. 55 pick meets the interests of many parties, and the Lakers signed Bronny to kill three birds with one stone

It has been 78 years since its establishment on June 6, NBA1946, and there are countless cases of father and son two generations fighting successively: Bill Wharton & Luke Wharton, Michael Thompson & Klay Thompson, Doug Rivers & Austin Reaves, Avedas Sabonis & Domantas Sabonis, Dale Curry & Seth Curry & Stephen Curry The three marksmen are impressive and tell a good story.

In the NBA, it is an extremely harsh condition for father and son to compete on the same stage: on the one hand, the old father has to play for at least 18 years, which screens out a large number of people; On the other hand, children must also have a certain talent to eat basketball (Magic Johnson tears), and after 2005, high school students were banned from running.

Ideally, "a supergiant father who has played for 18 or 19 years uses his relationship to sign a mediocre son who has no talent for the team he plays", and the two are on the same team, but this has not happened in the past 78 years!

It can be operated, but it is not necessary, it is necessary to respect the wishes of both father and son, and the team management also needs to give face, the most direct decision of all this is actually the father's coffee position, the time, place, and people are indispensable!

Aunt Jenny is a middle girl, and the Los Angeles Lakers have booked a historic big news for the new season in advance: James Bronny has become the first father-son duo in NBA history to play together on the same team, the NBA has been unprecedented in the past 78 years, and the Lakers' box office profit in the new season must be a very impressive number.

The Lakers wouldn't be foolish enough to expect the 55th pick to help the team win the championship, after all, the No. 17 pick in the first round in '23 could only do the job of managing the water cooler and waving the towel. The fastest in the preseason and the slowest in the regular season, the Lakers will see the first father-son duo in NBA history to play together on the same team, and the traffic and box office will make a lot of money.

Bronny averaged 4.8 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 19.3 minutes per game, and Schifino averaged 13.5 points, 4.1 rebounds and 3.7 assists in 33.1 minutes a game, the level of personal strength in American college basketball is actually clear to everyone.

Competence is one thing, influence is another. Bronny's supergiant father James signed a lifetime endorsement contract of more than $1 billion with Nike, Bronny was already a Nike signed player before entering the NBA, and has a personal sneaker PE - some people were born in Rome, father and son have their own topics and traffic, Bronny's various endorsement contracts in the future will take the initiative to come to the door, and the most direct reason for the Lakers to sign Bronny is obviously out of business considerations.

The 39-year-old and 181-day-old Zhan has a player option of 51.41 million for next season, which means that he can jump out of his contract this summer and choose the team of his choice, and June 29 local time in the United States is the deadline for whether the player option will be implemented.

The Lakers' more far-reaching consideration for signing Bronny is to lock Lao Zhan until retirement, take Bronny and throw an olive branch to Lao Zhan, and then renew Lao Zhan's contract with a maximum salary of 164 million for 3 years. It is undeniable that Lao Zhan, who will be 40 years old in the new season, is still the most influential global superstar in the league today, and the team with Lao Zhan undoubtedly has the league's unique ability to attract money.

Referring to the Lakers Bass family's last 2-year 48.5 million contract for Kobe Bryant at the end of his career, renewing Lao Zhan's contract is actually also an idea, whether the team's playoff record is in the Western Conference or the first round, first make the money that should be earned - select Bronny, keep Lao Zhan in the Lakers for the rest of his life, retire from the tour in the last season, and perfect capital operation script.

The Lakers are the league's most special Internet celebrity championship team, after all, their ace star and engine will be 40 years old in the new season, which requires the parts to have enough ability to withstand pressure and provide more help.

The Lakers lost 1-4 to the Nuggets in the first round of this year's playoffs, and the problems exposed are already obvious: Zhan Mei's performance is impeccable, but in addition to Zhan Mei, there are uncertain factors, and the team lacks a stable third scorer and a second core ball holding point other than Lao Zhan, which also fundamentally determines the core competitiveness gap between the Lakers and the Nuggets.

The game process of the Lakers VS Nuggets series determines the direction of the Lakers' offseason, signing Bronny and renewing Lao Zhan's contract, while absorbing gold, does not affect the Lakers to continue to strengthen and win the championship.

In the first round of G1, Zhan Mei shined, Reeves scored 13 points, and Russell also scored 13 points in 6 of 20; G2, James Mei and Russell were 20+, and Reeves scored 9 points on 4-of-11 shooting; G3, Zhan Mei and Reeves are 20+, Russell scored 0 in 7; The only G4 to win, Lao Zhan 30 points and 4 assists, thick eyebrows 25 points, 23 rebounds and 6 assists, Reaves 21 points and 6 assists, Russell 21 points and 4 assists, four people in the same game 20+, this can match the Nuggets' starting five tigers.

When the Nuggets played an offensive set composed of four cards, and the Lakers only had two points of stability with Zhan Mei, it was naturally difficult to win this game. And the Lakers' outside defense was broken through by Jamal Murray and Porter Jr., the Timberwolves choked Murray and Porter Jr. in the second round, and the Eastern European combination broke through the Timberwolves' defense in the Western Conference finals, and the Lakers' backcourt offense and defense are almost the worst of these teams.

The advantage of the Lakers is that there are thick eyebrows on the inside, as well as a forward group led by Lao Zhan, but the backcourt is not ordinarily bad, Russell has become a law in the playoffs, and Ham has his hands in his pockets and does not like to call a timeout, which makes the Lakers very passive.

The Lakers' change of coach has taken the first step in innovation, and it is imperative to explore and trade Russell to upgrade the backcourt, and without upgrading the backcourt, it will not be able to truly become a championship team. Except for Zhan Mei and Bronny, everyone else can be used as a trading chip, considering that Lao Zhan is getting older and needs to reduce the burden on him in the regular season, the outside third star who can hold the ball is obviously the right way to strengthen the situation.

A No. 55 lottery as a cost to meet the interests of many parties: 19-year-old Bronny realized his basketball dream, Lao Zhan, as his father, opened champagne to celebrate for the first time, the beauty of the Lakers' adulthood, and also earned traffic, topics, and wealth, and was able to keep Lao Zhan to maintain the championship team and continue to upgrade the lineup, and finally achieved the effect of happiness for all.

Parents love their children, and they have far-reaching plans!
