NBA Draft 2024: Bronny James’ Bold Rejection Brings LeBron’s Dream Closer Despite Suns’ Threat

Bronny James’ draft predictions have not been coming to an end anytime around. With summer picks getting closer day by day, the chances of LeBron’s son getting to play with his father have increased exponentially. First, Rob Pelinka’s appearance at the combine is to observe Bronny. Then, it was the Los Angeles Lakers‘ strategy to hold LeBron James through Bronny. And now, the athletic insider Shams Charania himself has made the biggest revelations regarding Bronny James’ choice of team for the upcoming season in the NBA.

While talking about the young prospect on the ‘Run It Back FanDuelTV’ show, Charania stated, “Bronny James is over 10 workout invites during the pre-drive project. I’m told he’s only gonna visit a couple of those and that’s going to include the Lakers and the Phoenix Suns.” Bronny has limited down his options to increase his focus on the performance rather than the teams. The NBA insider also revealed that the Suns, who have number 22 overall, are picking the draft. However, the Lakers might be the first choice for the college basketball player with his father on the roster.

On NBA Radio, when Bronny James was asked how he felt regarding him and LeBron sharing the floor, he wasn’t that enthusiastic about it. “It means a lot, for sure. But that’s not my main focus right now. My main focus is to get to the league. …That’s just the plus points for now that I could share the league with my dad.” Well, it’s also better for Bronny to get his way into the league, as his agent has refused to get him a two-way contract.

Do the Phoenix Suns need Bronny James?

Per Shams Charania’s prediction, the Suns can pick up Bronny James. However, do they want to get a young gun like Bronny, or do they have ulterior motives? They have never won an NBA Championship. Moreover, even after taking Bronny James, it would take them years to build a team capable of winning the championship. Therefore, it seems that the Sun’s front office is looking to capture LeBron James by luring him toward their camp.

Interestingly, LeBron has the option to opt-out. If Bronny chooses to go with the Suns, King James would not want to miss a chance to play with his son on the court, sharing the same side. But it is not all LeBron; Bronny has performed extremely well at the combine. To gain the attention of the team scouts. He is expected to be a great role player for the teams in the upcoming time. But the Suns might not achieve their motives as they are already spending too much on players like Devin Booker, Bradley Beal, and Kevin Durant. Moreover, LeBron might also have to compromise with his millions of earnings if he comes to the Suns. Then, he would need to sign a veteran’s minimum contract.

In such a scenario, the Suns might be using Bronny as bait for LeBron. However, the true picture will appear when the team picks Bronny from the draft. That is still a reality yet to be true.
