Lakers would be wise to use #55 pick for backup center. Maybe Adem Bona will be available. That would be smarter than using pick on Bronny. Even LeBron now realizes his son might be better off on his own course in the NBA rather than having the burden of being on his dad's team. https://t.co/Ce8Rnxsv2s

Lakers should use #55 for b/u center instead of Bronny

In fact, I would love the Lakers to buy an early pick in the second round and then use it for a backup center.
Adam Bona and Tyler Smith are early second round candidates who would be great picks for Lakers as backup centers.
Lebron also realizes the Lakers would be much better if he took a team-friendly deal, but I wouldn’t count on that happening either
