It pays to be brons son
Wonder if it will be synced up with a certain other player’s contract length
he ain’t even play an nba game yet 😭
nepobaby
Before I go the obvious route here, how common is a multi-year guaranteed rookie contract for a second round pick?
Bro don’t even have a locker yet
Big signing of the lakers offseason
Hopefully he can support his family with this money.
Must be the first 55th pick in history to do that
If they play Bronny any minutes, dudes are gonna go at him hard
4 years, $4000 dollar deal.
Serious question, has a second round pick this late ever received a multiyear contract?
Well deserved!
Pft, everyone knows he’s going to be playing in Australia. Are the Lakers stupid?
Job security better than Thanasis. Damn
Damn he must’ve been REALLY good in practice
Gotta lock down him down for half a decade so he can score 1 bucket a game
Lebron getting another coach fired and then drafting his son. Lebron doing Lebron things!
Guy is getting fed
Will he be the worst player ever?
Gets better and better
For everyone shocked by the news remember this is still a business for the Lakers org. The amount of tickets / viewers LBJ + Bronny the first father-son duo will bring is gonna be insane. I wouldn’t be surprised if dude actually gets some minutes. They’re gonna market the shit out of this
Serious question, how often do the 50th pick or later actually sign a guaranteed contract, and not a two way or prove they can make the roster after the summer?
He worked so hard for this!
I’d feel bad for this kid if he wasn’t a billionaire. He could have done anything but now he’s just going to be an embarrassing footnote on Lebron’s career sheet. Hope he balls but all signs point to no.
Lakers are fucking idiots
of course he does
Ahh so that’s what lebron meant he will take a pay cut. His pay cut is going to his son. So basically it stays in the family. 4d chess move by Lebron.
Lebron turned the lakers into a joke. No wonder the Celtics look several tiers better than them
Second rounders can freely negotiate contracts without rookie scale restrictions.
I see where the lebron pay cut is going to 👀
I wonder how far down this guy would be on those pre-draft lists if he weren’t LeBron’s son.
Just max Bryce now and get it over with.
Lakers are a 🤡 franchise man all this for a guy that average like five points in college. Meanwhile they haven’t to be able to sign anybody
Lakers got their guy….. fuuuuuuu—-
This sub is gonna go nuclear when he scores 2 points and snags 2 rebounds in his first summer league game
He’s gonna have a helluva career in China one day
Bring your child to work day.
What other second round pick in history could hope to get this kind of deal after 0 games played
He really proved himself and earned this one guys. Had nothing to do with his dad at all.
Ngl, if I were an end of bench guy in the Lakers org and this fucker knocked me back to the G League, I’d be fucking furious.
This is why Lebron offered to take a pay cut, to guarantee bronny’s deal.
Is this why lebron took a paycut
I’m genuinely curious how many #55 picks in history have signed fully guaranteed multi year contracts. It can’t be many
this is embarrassing lol
Signed sincerely, Nepotism
