LeBron James is staying with the Lakers and won’t join another NBA team to play with Bronny

NBA teams are facing a dilemma when it comes to potentially drafting Bronny James, the son of Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James. While some teams may be tempted to select Bronny with hopes of luring LeBron to their roster, recent reports suggest that this may not be a realistic expectation.

According to The Athletic’s Shams Charania, LeBron has made it clear that drafting Bronny does not guarantee his own free agency move to that team. Despite the “as of right now” caveat in his response, it seems unlikely that LeBron would leave the Lakers, especially with the team’s commitment to re-signing him and meeting his demands.

Bronny, who recently impressed at the NBA Draft Combine, has also expressed his desire to be recognized for his own talents and not just as LeBron’s son. The young prospect has shown promise on the court, averaging 4.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 2.1 assists in his lone season with USC.

As the draft approaches, the possibility of Bronny being selected by the Lakers in the second round adds an intriguing storyline to the event. Whether or not father and son will have the opportunity to play together remains uncertain, but one thing is clear – Bronny is determined to make a name for himself in the basketball world, separate from his famous father.
