What does Bronny James’ confirmation in the Draft mean for LeBron?

After Bronny James confirmed that he will participate in the next Draft from the NBAit’s important to understand how all of this relates to your father, the star of Los Angeles Lakers, LeBron James. Even though the multi-time champion is still in a great phase of his career in the league, he has been saying for some time that the end is very close. So when is the end for him?

LeBron has said countless times that he would like to play alongside his first son if he made it to the Draft. But, he also said that he could face his son. Even though this is not the same thing, something interesting will stand out from now on: who will schedule training sessions with Bronny. Who is he actually going to talk to?

In fact, no one knows exactly what their position will be in the NBA draft rankings. Before starting his time in college basketball, some specialized websites placed the young man in the first round. Then, when his heart problem happened, he dropped down the list. Bronny did not have a pre-season and did not participate in part of the campaign USC. Thus, the expectation was that he would leave the Draft for 2025, gaining more space in college and a starting position. But that didn’t happen.

This past Friday, the 5th, Bronny declared that he wants to participate in this year’s recruitment and the dream of working alongside his father became closer. While the first conversations with the teams should only take place within a few weeks, the doubts about the young player’s physical conditioning only grow greater. With poor numbers in college basketball, it is important to remember that the player had health problems and there is no denying the influence of this, even if no one knows exactly how much this was. That’s what the training will tell you. In fact, Bronny is a good defender, but he needs to improve his shot if he wants to have a long life in the NBA, improving his 26.7% shooting from the perimeter.

Leaving all this aside, the fact that he can play alongside his son could result in LeBron leaving the Los Angeles Lakers at the end of the season. But, it’s a slim chance given that he will earn $51.4 million in 2024/25. Hardly anyone gives up money like that, unless they ask for a trade to the team in which Bronny is chosen. But how much of this can actually happen?

Will LeBron give up on winning another title and how will the Lakers move in the offseason? Additionally, the team can choose to choose Bronny, buying his spot on the squad. More or less. The four-time champion loves Los Angeles and is based there. So where else would you have a chance of winning? Some top teams, of course. But would King go to a franchise to not be number 1? Then, more and more questions start to happen. Beside Anthony Davis, James establishes a strong relationship with the team, wanting to hear what the management has to offer in terms of improving the squad. Hence, many possibilities arise.

For the next Draft, the Lakers have a second round pick and if the logic is there, they can choose Bronny. But there is still a chance that other teams want to steal the young athlete, looking for a chance to count on LeBron. So, it is important to observe where the young person will train.
