Lakers open to drafting Bronny James with LeBron's future in L.A. uncertain, per report

LeBron has said many times that he wants to play with his son in the NBA

This kid would NOT be drafted if his father was anyone other than LeBron.

So Bronny to the Lakers?

They can probably get a draft pick. I don't think they have one for the 2024 draft.

He might not be drafted anyway.

We have the 17th pick, but the Pelicans can claim it as part of the deal for AD still.

We also have two second round picks.

He is expected to be a second-round pick. Some team will take a flier on him because he is LeBron's kid.

I think the Lakers will definitely draft him unless Lebron wants to move on.

I think you're right.

is AD’s shoulder okay? :/ will he survive? Will Lebron leave if AD doesn’t pull through?

 

[Mainstreet]

Lebron reportedly intends to opt out of contract.

Shams Charania indicated he may be getting up to a 3 year, $164 million contract with the Lakers.

Maybe the Suns can fire Vogel and grab Ham if he too is fired. Then they could swap out recycled former Lakers head coaches.

AD did survive. somehow he looked more ridiculous in his post game interview than he did when he hurt his shoulder.
