Two things have been true about Bronny James and the Lakers.

From the moment he was drafted, everyone has celebrated that he and LeBron will get to make history this year, including LeBron himself. At the same time, Bronny has been called a “development” player by head coach JJ Redick with the expectation that he’ll spend a good chunk of his rookie year in the G League.

That means the Lakers are probably going to have to discuss a plan for how to get the pair on the court together in a moment in which the game might not be in the balance if they want the pair to play together.

It’s a tricky task for Redick and his staff as they have to balance a situation no other coach has had to juggle. In a recent appearance on “The Lowe Post” podcast with Zach Lowe (side note: it’s insane ESPN really laid him off), Redick revealed that the team has discussed how to handle the situation.

“In terms of that moment, yeah, we’ve talked about it and we’ve thought about it. We’ll get it done. I don’t want to commit to anything right now but that’s going to happen and it’s going to happen sooner rather than later.”

While everyone wants to see history made, when do you make it happen and does the game situation matter for the moment?

Does it have as much impact if it comes in a game the Lakers are losing big and LeBron is about to be subbed out? Does it need to come in an actually meaningful moment of the game?

Ideally, you’d like it to come in a game where the Lakers are winning in a blowout and you can give the pair an extended run together for as long as LeBron wants to play garbage time. But take a glance at the Lakers’ schedule that they’re going to win in a blowout.

Ultimately, it’s a moment that hasn’t happened in league history and there’s a good chance it may not ever happen again. It probably doesn’t need too much policing as to whether it’s the right situation to do it or not.

It’s going to be a historic and memorable moment and that’s all that probably should matter.
