None, but that's not going to stop the incoming wave of kneejerky hot takes

Not sure it'll justify the salary, but he's been consistently improving every year since he got to the league. Yes, everyone sees the gaps, but even with them he is a 2nd team all nba and has yet to reach his peak (imho). It's a massive contract but the front office believes in him, and that's something to keep in mind.

Totally agree, they should take the time to understand what caused it and how likely it is to return. It's obvious but compared to almost every other prospect, Bronny is lucky to have no financial needs in life and can very easily stop playing anytime he wants.

This was inevitable and I don't think Brad (or anyone) had another real option, but that's not going to stop the media from having a field day today and every time he has a down game
