A proposito di questo titolo

Things are taking a turn.

Tuesday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reported that Bronny James has been invited by 10 or so teams to work out with them ahead of the NBA Draft. Nothing unusual there. Except James is only going to accept two of them. Phoenix, and the Lakers. Now that, if it holds is unusual. Bronny is not exactly in a position, based on consensus mock drafts and so on, to be dictating terms or turning down workouts. You'd think he'd be trying to take as many as he could in order to maximize the chances of getting drafted.

So is he, a player with some potential, sure, but hardly an elite draft prospect, big-footing the process? Or is there something else going on? This on the heels of news over the weekend that Bronny wouldn't be accepting a two-way contract (this coming straight from Rich Paul), only a standard deal. Was this a way to push his stock a little higher? Or again, is he trying to dictate the terms of where he lands?

And when it comes to the Suns, at first glance it seems crazy for that team to even consider using their first round pick, one of the only picks the team controls for the next 872 years, on a player highly unlikely to help them next season. Unless, of course, they really, truly thought it would bring them LeBron James, too, as a free agent. Because if that's the case, and Pops really would take a massive, massive paycut to play with Son, that's the most profound improvement a team like the Suns could make this offseason, given their cap sheet.

So are the Suns a real threat, if/when LeBron opts out? How about Philadelphia, who can't give James as much money as the Lakers, but they can give him a lot.

Finally, mailbag questions! This time, it's about the coaching search. Does it matter that JJ Redick left Anthony Davis off his DPOY ballot? Who are the candidates we'd like to see hired?
