Is this news to anybody that agents are directing players to teams in the second round? This is how the second round has worked for the past several years. They do it in the first round, too, but the contracts don't leave room for negotiation so it works a little differently with teams making promises in return for players shutting down workouts. In round 2, agents actively work with teams to get their clients into the best possible situations, and teams have different needs vis a vis the salary cap and roster spots, so they negotiate for appropriate terms - two-way deal, guaranteed deal, number of years, etc. It's not talked about how much power agents wield in the NBA. You think it's an accident that all these agents are moving into front office positions around the league? The only reason this is even a story is because of Lebron.
And let's face it, if Bronny didn't have a famous father, nobody would know his name and he wouldn't have been drafted. The only reason I can think that the Lakers drafted him is for an ego trip. They could have just as easily signed him as an undrafted free agent after scaring every other team off with that Australia threat. Why burn the pick at all? This whole thing is weird ego-driven publicity stunt.
