The first round of the NBA is in full swing, the Suns and Lakers are two of the favorites, one was swept 4-0, the other was eliminated 1-4, Durant and James are the best players in the league in the past 10 years, but now that they are at the end of their careers, there is nothing they can do to see the team struggling in the first round. Compared with Durant, James is in a much better situation, he has averaged 27.8 points, 6.8 rebounds, 8.8 assists, 2.4 steals and 1 block per game in the past five games. Moreover, James is already the second person in history, he doesn't need to prove himself, and Durant has not won a championship since leaving Curry, and his status continues to decline.
The season for the Lakers and James is over, and even so, the Lakers have received more attention than the top teams in the West such as the Nuggets and Timberwolves. The Lakers are sure to have a big deal this summer, in addition to firing Ham, possibly bringing in a third All-Star, and the potential candidate is Trae Young of the Hawks, and if the Lakers and Hawks start trade talks again, several first-round picks and Reaves will be the main bargaining chips.
According to NBA reporter Shams, the Lakers plan to draft Bronny to allow James to fulfill his father-son wish to share the stage, and the Lakers have the 55th pick in the 2024 draft. However, NBA celebrity Parsons revealed on the show that the Nuggets may intercept Bronny and refuse James to join, and after these words came out, the host next to him laughed.
The Nuggets have a 2024 first-round pick and a second-round pick and plenty of draft picks, so if the Nuggets do draft Bronny, what will James do in the offseason? The Lakers are willing to offer him a three-year, $160 million contract, but at the end of his career, James' greatest wish is to play with Bronny, whether the Nuggets or other teams choose Bronny, James may take the initiative to apply to join, not to compete for the championship, purely to become teammates with his children, which will also create new NBA history.
But if the Nuggets draft Bronny and refuse James to join, it will be really too bad, basically not good for themselves, and deliberately targeting James. In fact, James and the Nuggets have no grievances, but appreciate each other, Malone also praised Lao Zhan as a Goat, and James also thinks that the Nuggets are a very good team.
There is another piece of news to note, according to NBA reporter Brett Siegel, Curry will recruit James at the U.S. men's basketball training camp and let the old James go to the Golden State to play. Interestingly, the coach of the U.S. men's basketball team is Kerr, if Kerr and Curry invite James to join the Warriors together, there is still a possibility, and if James and Curry join forces, they will both have a chance to win the fifth championship of their careers.
However, at the end of his career, James is no longer so eager for the championship, he will play for about 2-3 years at most, and there is a high probability that he will end up with the Lakers. In fact, for James, the most perfect choice is to renew his contract with the Lakers, and then let the Lakers management use the first-round pick to select Bronny, and there is no need to worry about being cut off by the Nuggets.
