76ers’ Best Chance to Trade for LeBron James Gets a Major Bronny James Boost

Eyebrows were raised following a dramatic press conference from LeBron James after the loss to the Denver Nuggets. He admitted to the uncertainty regarding his future. When asked about specifically staying in LA, King James refused to even entertain the question. His only priority seemed to be his family.

Having dedicated two decades of his life to the game of basketball, James is now determined to fulfill his role to his children and wife. Talking about the process of deciding his future, James iterated that it would only be revealed after a detailed conversation with his family of four.

His elder son, Bronny James is building his own path to the NBA. Despite an upsetting freshman season with USC due to his cardiac incident, the 19-year-old has declared for the 2024 NBA draft. However, he has also dropped into the transfer portal expanding his choices.

One such decision could prove influential in deciding LeBron James’ NBA future.

LeBron James could join Joel Embiid?

After the Lakers lost their playoff series, a good friend of James, Draymond Green analyzed the team’s season. His suggestion for King James was to opt out of his contract and provide the Lakers cap space to sign a third superstar. Then James could re-sign for less money. This allows the Lakers the flexibility to upgrade their roster. Similar to what James Harden did for the Philadelphia 76ers two seasons ago.

Now that we have spoken of Philly, they were one of the teams who were chasing a trade deal for LeBron James during the trade deadline this season. After his indecisive comments, the rumors of him making a move to Philadelphia have intensified. Since the Sixers have the cap space as mentioned by the Warriors veteran, they can afford to lure the 20-time All-Star with the prospect of playing besides Joel Embiid and a budding Tyrese Maxey.

The potential of such a deal seemed bleak during the trade deadline. However, a recent turn of events could influence James’ decision. According to Adrian Wojnarowski, Bronny could seek a transfer to Duquesne, an Atlantic 10 Conference School located in Pittsburgh. It’s only a short flight away from Philly.

Given James wants to prioritize his family while also assisting Bronny James in becoming a better basketball player, both his wishes could be met with a move to the City of Brotherly Love. In case Bronny gets drafted and decides to begin his NBA journey, agent Rich Paul claimed it won’t influence James’ decision to move away. “LeBron wants Bronny to be his own man”, Paul told ESPN.

Nonetheless, a big headline is impending at this point. Where will the King set his throne next or will he remain in LA as he said he wanted to?
