Rich Paul Is Reportedly Telling Teams To Not Draft Bronny Or He'll Play In Australia If They Do - Someone Needs To Call His Bluff And Prove A Point
Give me a goddamn break. I get you're trying to do what's best for your client, whatever. But threatening to send Bronny to Australia over a 2nd round pick? THIS IS THE DRAFT, BUDDY. You don't get to pick (for the most part) where you get drafted. This isn't free agency. This is a second round pick and you know what? Someone needs to prove a point. Draft him, hold him hostage. We can't let stuff like this happen plus let's see if he's serious. You wanna deal with kangaroos, tarantulas, snakes and all the other shit that Australia has? Prove a point.
We know this means he is demanding the Lakers or Suns draft him. That's ultimately the play. Fuck it, draft him. Call the bluff, that's half the battle with agents during draft season. Don't let him just sit around and pick spots like this. Someone with a ton of freedom needs to do it. Who cares if you miss out on a 2nd round pick? Do it for content. Do it to make LeBron pick one way or the other.
Also, little bit of advice, maybe don't threaten guys with a place Bronny should be playing this year (or college). Draft him, someone draft him.
