Jeff Goodman of Field of 68 pushed the Boston Celtics to select Bronny James with the No. 30 pick in the NBA draft. Goodman may have forgotten that the Utah Jazz control it via Oklahoma City via Toronto and Indiana, but he did persuade the owner of the No. 29 choice to do the same.

Goodman said, “I don’t care how bad of a draft this is at the top (and it’s bad). I would consider taking Bronny at 29 or 30 – if I am a legit contender – to do this.” For a 40-year-old LeBron and a far-off Hawks club, this would be absolute madness.”

Goodman was reacting to Adam Lefkoe of Bleacher Report’s terrible, if somewhat satirical, suggestion that the Atlanta Hawks select Bronny first overall.

“The Atlanta Hawks have the 1st pick in what multiple NBA executives have called ‘The Worst Draft Ever,'” Lefkore began by proposing, “Why not select Bronny James in the first round? It makes acquiring LeBron more likely. You can tell the Lakers that you have their son and demand a king’s ransom in exchange by calling them.”

It would be worthwhile for the Boston Celtics to select Bronny James in order to acquire LeBron James.

Naturally, it makes sense to use Bronny’s late first-round pick to acquire LeBron if he is serious about joining forces with him. James would form the best starting five in the history of the NBA alongside Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Kristaps Porzingis, and Jrue Holiday. Complete halt.

However, it’s difficult to imagine James signing with any team for a veteran’s minimum contract in order to make that happen. The most likely consequence is a max deal from the Los Angeles Lakers, which might be his final of his career.

However, Bronny’s presence always makes room for the “king.” If he’s on the board, Brad, draft him.‎
