Lakers are open to bringing LeBron back on his own terms, potentially even drafting Bronny.

The Los Angeles Lakers are making it clear that their top offseason priority is to bring LeBron James back to the team. According to ESPN’s Dave McMenamin, the Lakers are willing to offer LeBron whatever terms he wants in order to keep him in the purple and gold.

LeBron James was the Lakers’ best player last season, leading the team in scoring and serving as their primary shot creator. At 39 years old, he is still playing at an All-NBA level and remains a key energy source for the team. Off the court, LeBron’s presence helps fill seats at Crypto.com Arena, attracts sponsorships, and brings in television audiences, making him a valuable asset for the organization.

One potential condition for LeBron’s return could be the drafting of his son, Bronny James. While the Lakers are open to the idea, they are unlikely to use their No. 17 first-round pick on Bronny, as he is still developing as a player. The decision ultimately lies with Bronny and his family on whether he would prefer to join an NBA team or continue his development elsewhere.

The Lakers are willing to go to great lengths to accommodate LeBron’s wishes, including potentially hiring Tyronn Lue as head coach, despite his current contract with the Clippers. LeBron has historically used his free agency leverage to enact changes within organizations, and the Lakers are keen on keeping him happy.

Overall, the Lakers are committed to doing whatever it takes to bring LeBron James back to the team and continue their pursuit of an NBA championship.
