Agent Rich Paul expressed that LeBron James and potential NBA draft pick Bronny James aren't a package deal this offseason.
Cynical minds and true believers alike expect Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James and his son, former USC guard and 2024 NBA Draft prospect Bronny James, to play together in the NBA. But is that pairing really a shoo-in? 'LeBron is off this idea of having to play with Bronny,' Rich Paul, the agent of both LeBron and Bronny James, told ESPN on Wednesday. 'If he does, he does. But if he doesn't, he doesn't.
James went into cardiac arrest last season, delaying the beginning of his freshman season at USC. A former four-star recruit, James appeared in 25 games , averaging 4.8 points over 19.3 minutes per contest and declared for the draft after the season. Meanwhile, the 39-year-old James has a $51.4 million player option for the 2024-25 NBA season, which he's expected to decline. The four-time NBA Finals MVP and 20-time All-NBA honoree has spent the previous six seasons with the Lakers.
