The NBA playoffs are underway, unfortunately, the Lakers have not been able to go far, they entered the playoffs ahead of schedule, at present, the Lakers have two top priorities, the first is the selection of coaches, everyone knows that the Lakers have fired Ham, including all members of the coaching staff, even the meritorious assistant coach Handy has not been spared, there is news that Redick, Borrego and Cassel will be the Lakers' initial selection targets, and the second is to try out James' eldest son Bronny, who will participate in this year's draft, The Lakers have an idea to get James and his son on the same stage.
According to reports, the Lakers are open to discussing the contract extension plan with James and selecting Bronny at next month's draft, in fact, from the perspective of the Lakers, from the point of interest, there is no problem in choosing Bronny, and it is most suitable to use the No. 55 pick to win, but there is a high probability that other teams will cut off Hu, and the Lakers need courage at a greater cost, of course, everything is possible, at least Bronny's trial results are good, 19 of 25 three-pointers, The highest vertical jump was 102.9 centimeters, and he moved 12 of 12 from the field of three-point movement.
When it comes to the possibility of father and son on the same stage, Bronny said that he never wanted to play with his father, but he himself mentioned it a few times, which shows that James wants to play with Bronny, and fans can look forward to it. Looking at Shams's words, Shams recently talked about James on a podcast, and the host asked him if it was possible for us to see three James playing on the same team.
Shams said the league generally believes James will play a third year at most? It's not out of the question (James' youngest son, Bryce, is expected to be in the draft as early as 2026), and it's up to him. Shams believes that James may have been in the league for 23 years, and as far as he knows, James understands how much people around him have sacrificed for him, including his wife, family and best friends, and he will repay them in the next year or two, which is James' priority, in addition to two other points that will influence James's thoughts.
The first is that the 2026 All-Star will start in Los Angeles, obviously, if James father and son are all in the Lakers, this will be a grand event that the whole world will watch, and if James retires in 2026, that is, Bryce's rookie season, it will be James's 23rd season, the same as his jersey number, it is 23, if James has this idea, the Lakers must make a choice, whether to record or profit, if you are Lakers owner Jeanie Buss, what choice will you make?
