Bronny James' season at USC is almost over. His performances were not great, and after suffering a cardiac arrest last year, he didn't get more minutes and opportunities to play in his first season at university.
His 39-year-old father, LeBron James, is still one of the NBA's tallest players. Recently, trade rumors have been flying all over LeBron James, but the most important thing for LeBron James is whether his son Bronny James can be selected in the 2024 NBA draft and enter the NBA.
Both the Golden State Warriors and the Los Angeles Lakers reportedly intend to take Bronny James in the NBA draft to attract LeBron James. The Golden State Warriors were revealed to want to trade for LeBron James before the trade window closed for the 2023-24 season, allowing him to partner Stephen Curry and others.
However, the Lakers refused to trade LeBron James. Considering that LeBron James has more than $50 million in player options next season, it is possible that the Golden State Warriors may consider attracting LeBron James to the Warriors by acquiring Bronny James.
However, the Lakers have also stated that as long as LeBron James is happy, the team will also fight to get Bronny James at any cost. Moreover, the team also intends to bring in a superstar player in the offseason to complement LeBron James and Anthony Davis.
At present, the most rumors of a trade with LeBron James are the Warriors, 76ers, Thunder, Knicks, Heat and Cavaliers. Among them, the Cavaliers and Lakers are the first choice for LeBron James, and the Cavaliers are where LeBron James' NBA dream begins. The Lakers are primarily in the metropolis of Los Angeles, which has the business resources that LeBron James wants.
LeBron James probably won't choose to join the Golden State Warriors, and even if the Warriors take Bronny James, he won't join. As for the Knicks, we have to see whether the lineup that the other party matches for him at that time has the strength to impact the championship.
LeBron James will turn 40 next season, and there is not much time left for him to compete for a championship. At most, there are 1-2 seasons left. Moreover, his form is not as good as in the past few seasons, and there is a bit of a physical crisis. Staying with the Lakers, once the team is unwilling to pay the luxury tax to reinforce, it is almost impossible for LeBron James to win the championship.
