LeBron James looking forward to teaming up with son Bronny after current LA Lakers deal expires
It was widely speculated that LeBron James added to his current contract with LA Lakers to ensure that he’s a free agent when his son Bronny is eligible for the draft. The four-time NBA champion has come clean and suggested that this is indeed one of the better parts of his new deal.
As reported by ESPN’s Dave McMenamin, LeBron had the following to say:
Bronny James as an NBA prospect
Bronny James is a 6'2 point guard who plays for Sierra Canyon High School and is expected to graduate in 2023. We’ll have to wait and see how he develops both physically and skill-wise over the next couple of years.
It must be noted that as per current regulations, he won’t be eligible for the NBA Draft the same year LeBron James’ contract with LA Lakers expires. This would be possible only if the CBA is amended to allow high school players to once again be directly drafted to the league. For what it’s worth, LeBron himself followed that path.
For the time being, King James has to focus on the upcoming NBA campaign with the LA Lakers. The Purple and Gold play their cross-town rivals LA Clippers to open both preseason and the regular season.
