Lakers Ready To Copy Rivals Rumored Plans To Lure LeBron James

Jeanie Buss and Magic Johnson worked really hard to get LeBron James on the Los Angeles Lakers roster. He led the team to a title and helped them win games. The four-time NBA champion will soon enter the open market. Will the Lakers let LeBron join their rivals?

The franchise didn’t make any major moves ahead of the deadline. According to NBA analysts, the Lakers will try and make big moves in the offseason. Will Rob Pelinka include LeBron in the equation?

King James has a player option for the final year of his two-year deal with the Lakers.

“Not only are rival executives increasingly convinced that James might want out, but they’re also focused on the Bronny James factor, which continues to loom large,” The Athletic’s Sam Amick, Anthony Slater, and Jovan Buha wrote on February 14. “ The Lakers, per the high-ranking team source, are also willing to explore the notion of adding Bronny James next season.”

Bronny will join the NBA at some point and NBA teams may use him to get his popular dad. LeBron would love to play with his son and he talks about it in pretty much every interview.

“This stance … is rooted in the reality that James’ happiness truly matters to the organization,” Amick wrote.

“Beyond the Bronny component, though, the Lakers are also well-positioned to add the sort of elite-level talent to the roster this summer that could compel James to stay. Ultimately, their ability to make something significant happen on that front could be the difference.”

Lakers won’t let LeBron go to their rivals without a “fight”

There are several potential scenarios revolving around Bronny. He averages 5.8 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 2.6 assists per game this season. Kevin O’Connor from The Ringer reported that Bronny will go undrafted if he joins the 2024 draft. In other words, Bronny can sign with any team in the NBA team and even play with his father.

Bronny and Bryce got the good basketball genes from his father. He will have a good future in the NBA and the same goes to his younger brother. LeBron is really proud of his boys and they sure have the best basketball coach at home.
