The Los Angeles Lakers are reportedly willing to draft Bronny James, LeBron's son, as the NBA's all-time points leader's future is in doubt.
LeBron James' future remains somewhat in doubt, but it seems like the Los Angeles Lakers are willing to pull quite the recruiting tactic to keep him in Southern California. According to The Athletic's Shams Charania, the Lakers are 'very open to the prospect of helping LeBron fulfill his dream of playing with his son Bronny by potentially drafting him.
However, James has long expressed a desire to play with not only Bronny, but even his younger son Bryce. 'In a perfect world, the Lakers have LeBron James back, and potentially they draft Bronny James — I'm told they are interested in picking him in the draft,' Charania added on FanDuel TV's 'Run It Back' on Tuesday.
though, noted that James' top priority isn't necessarily to play with his son anymore, but rather, having Bronny develop as a player has taken precedent. After James' Lakers were eliminated in the NBA Playoffs by the Denver Nuggets for the second time in as many years, he was noncommittal about his future with the Lakers. He declined to answer whether that was his last game as a Laker, and said he hadn't 'given it much thought' about a 22nd NBA season. 'Obviously, at some point, I’ll sit down with Rich , my agent, and sit down with my family and see what’s best for my career. We’ll cross that when we need to,' he said.
James said Bronny is trying to decide if he’s going to enter the draft or go back to school. He averaged 4.8 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.1 assists in his freshman season. Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
