For years, LeBron James has been telling anyone who will listen that he wants to play with his son Bronny in the NBA. If staying in Los Angeles could be a priority for them, the Lakers may not want to select the eldest of the James family…

The dream of LeBron James is simple and announced for years now: playing with his elder Bronny in the NBA. The King has won everything during his career, he is already considered the GOAT by some, so no one will blame him if he indulges in this pleasure before retirement, even if it means forgetting the title race and playing out of simple desire staff.

Finally, because he remains a player who averages 24.8 points, 7.4 assists and 7.2 rebounds, which is beyond belief for a 39-year-old player, because he will always be the most popular man in NBA, several franchises could try to attract him by selecting Bronny during the next Draft.

The Lakers not eager to recruit Bronny?!

While LeBron could become a free agent this summer, the Lakers will have to get in on the act if they want to have a chance of retaining the man who brought the franchise its last title. But according to Brian Windhorst, who is always on very good dates in Los Angeles, that wouldn’t really be in the plans. The managers would not want to do in the development of players.

The Lakers are not a franchise that develops players, they are a franchise that wants to win immediately.

According to Brian Windhorst and his intuition, or the information collected in the franchise, the Lakers would not particularly want to recruit a player like Bronny James, who is clearly not ready for the highest level, simply to satisfy James. Under these conditions, divorce could become inevitable.

So this all but confirms Lebron is leaving the Lakers after this season

So this confirms that LeBron James will leave the Lakers after this season.

LeBron James wants to play with his son before retiring, but the Lakers don’t necessarily want to recruit a player not mature enough to bring in immediately. An amicable separation could therefore be the solution.
