According to Woj, the Lakers plan to let LeBron James and his son Bronny James appear on the same stage in the first week of the new season, detonating the focus of the league market, and then Bronny will embark on the journey of the G League and start his basketball training journey.
Bronny, the rookie who was drafted by the Lakers with the 55th pick in the 2024 NBA Draft and is a fellow professional player with his father, will clearly have a bumpier road. According to Woshen, Bronny's appearance with the Lakers will not be short-lived, he will play with his father in the first week of the season, and then he will be sent to the G League, where he will hone his skills.
This move of the Lakers is a plan to kill two birds with one stone. They used the appearance of James and his son on the same stage to attract the world's attention, and they gave Bronny an opportunity to show himself and improve himself. In the G League, Bronny will face tougher competition and tougher challenges, which is also a necessary way to grow.
Bronny himself knows that as the son of LeBron James, the pressure on him is much greater than that of the average person. He admitted at the press conference that he had been dealing with such pressure and was ready for it. He knew he needed to prove himself on the pitch and not just rely on his father's reputation.
Bronny's basketball journey has only just begun, and he'll be part of the Lakers' Summer League roster alongside first-round pick Dalton Knecht. Fans are excited about the young player and they want to see Bronny show what he's capable of on the court, showing that he's not just the son of LeBron James, but a basketball player with potential and determination.
The Lakers' plans for the new season have been launched, and the appearance of James father and son on the same stage will be a memorable start. Bronny will then continue his basketball journey in the G League, which is also a need for his personal growth and part of the Lakers' long-term plan.
