The Los Angeles Lakers have rich players playing together. LeBron James and Bronny James.
LeBron's move to qualify as an FA as a player option this season has been of keen interest. Philadelphia showed interest in recruiting LeBron, and the Los Angeles Lakers couldn't miss it.
LeBron had one special condition. He is in his twilight years as a player. It's time to retire. His final goal in his career was to play in a team with his son, Bronny.
Bronny's rookie nomination was essential to sign LeBron. Eventually, the Los Angeles Lakers named Bronny. There was controversy over his ability, but it was a loss he could take if he could stay on the team.
He re-signed with the Los Angeles Lakers on a two-year, $104 million contract that includes player options and non-trade clauses this season. 22nd season in the NBA. However, although the terms of the contract are unknown, it is likely that he would have demanded the nomination of Bronny James. Bronny James has agreed to a four - year, $7.9 million contract that includes a team option.
Of course, the relationship within the team is strict. On the court, Bronny can't call LeBron a father. This is because there could be problems with team chemistry.
The question is whether Bronny remains.
