北京时间4月30日，NBA季后赛首轮G5，湖人客场106-108不敌掘金，总比分1-4遭到淘汰。赛后，TA名记Shams撰文谈到了有关湖人本赛季的很多内幕，其中包括詹姆斯的大儿子布朗尼的选秀前景。Shams在文中指出，湖人非常愿意通过选秀的方式帮助詹姆斯实现与儿子布朗尼一起打球的梦想。
而在今日，Shams在电视节目中又谈到了布朗尼的选秀前景。Shams表示：“我报道过湖人非常有意选择布朗尼，他们知道詹姆斯公开表达过想要和布朗尼一起打球。归根结底，他希望对布朗尼最好，如果那意味着布朗尼被其他球队选中，获得更多的保障薪资，他当然会支持。但湖人已经向他和全世界明确表示，他们非常努力地想要选中他，他们可能将拥有一个首轮签以及一个次轮签可以选中他。在一个理想的世界中，勒布朗-詹姆斯和布朗尼将会在下赛季以及之后都在湖人打球。那将至少是湖人的目标之一。”
这一消息也引起了媒体和球迷们的热议，球迷们纷纷表示：选他来防穆雷？
[1]“他们真的可以用布朗尼去防守穆雷。”
They could really use Bronny’s defense on Murray
[-]“穆雷照样会在布朗尼面前命中制胜球。”
Murray hitting the game winner on bronny too
[--]“穆雷毫无疑问能在布朗尼面前砍下70分你在说什么。”
Murray is dropping 70 on Bronny without a doubtwhat are you talking about
[4]“湖人为了满足詹姆斯的梦想，竟然愿意放弃一个能够真正帮助球队的选秀权，真是太疯狂了。”
Lakers gonna lose out on a potential pick that can actually help just to fulfil lebrons dreams, crazy.
[-]“54号签啥也做不了。”
54th pick ain’t doing nothing
[--]“从经济上来说，詹姆斯和布朗尼一起打球比某个随机的次轮签给湖人带来的收入要多得多。”
financially having lebron there playing bronny brings way more dollars then some random second round pick
[7]“至少他们能为他做点什么。”
The least they could do for him
[-]“他应该是第55顺位。笑死我了，他们今年有两个不错的新秀，但都没有打上球。”
it would be the 55th pick. Lmao they had two decent picks this year that didn't even play
[--]“笑死我了，他们不会等到那么靠后的顺位才选他……其他球队会用他来换取詹姆斯的加盟，哈哈。”
lmfao they not gonna wait to pick him that far in the draft.. other teams would take him to get lebron to come to that team lmfao
[10]“兄弟，布朗尼还不足以进入NBA。”
Bro bronny is not good enough for the nba yet
[-]“跟在他父亲和真正的专业人士后面学习，实际上会比他待在学校能学到更多东西。”
Learning behind his dad and real pros will teach him more than staying in college tbh.
[--]“如果这发生了，就是萨纳西斯2.0。“
Thanasis 2.0. If this happens.
[13]”一个不那么成熟的观点：虽然我们应该欣赏和感激詹姆斯为湖人中所做的一切，但如果我们这样做只是为了满足一位明星球员的需求，那就太不明智了。这对其他球员不公平，对管理层也不公平，对教练也不公平。“
Unpopular opinion: Love and appreciate what bron did to the lakers organization, but this would’ve be an L move if we do this just to satisfy one of our star players. Unfair to other players, unfair to the management and unfair to the coach as well.
[-]”同意，但如果他不这样做，他就会离开（球队开始重建），而且萨纳西斯/字母哥的情况也基本上是一样的。“
Agreed BUT if not he’s gone (begin rebuild) and also Thanasis/Giannis situation is essentially the exact same.
[--]”他们仅仅因为布朗尼成为湖人球员就能赚到一大笔钱，更不用说这可能是詹姆斯的告别赛季了。他们肯定会这样做。也不能怪他们。“
the amount of money they would make just by being a LA team, on top of it possibly being lebron’s farewell.. they would definitely do this. can’t even blame them.
[16]”哦，他们可能会一起错过季后赛。“
Aww, they can miss the playoffs together
[-]”我想说他们今年打进了季后赛。不知道你到时候是否还活着，但詹姆斯通常都会打进季后赛。“
the amount of money they would make just by being a LA team, on top of it possibly being lebron’s farewell.. they would definitely do this. can’t even blame them.
[--]“他们今年是附加赛，而詹姆斯也越来越老了，所以你为什么认为他们一定会打进季后赛呢？”
They were in the play in game this year and LeBron is getting older, so why do you think it’s automatic that they’re going to make the playoffs
[19]“这孩子不需要被选中。签下他很简单。为什么要让另一个梦想破灭。有人真的值得被选中。把那个时刻和位置留给那些真正值得的人。”
The kid don’t need to be drafted. Just sign him simple. Why should another dream be shattered. Someone truly deserves to be drafted. Save that moment and spot for those who truly earned it.
[-]“从职业生涯收入的角度来看，选秀的原因也很重要。”
The reason for drafting is also important from a career earnings standpoint
