The Los Angeles Lakers are having one of the worst seasons in franchise history. The team dubbed as championship favorites before the start of the season is currently struggling for a playoff spot.
Safe to say LeBron James is carrying the Lakers currently. The 37-year-old veteran is still dominating the league and, despite the team facing lots of issues, he is trying his best to help the team.
One of LeBron’s dreams is to play with his son, Bronny. Bron’s current contract with the Lakers ends next season, which means he will be a free agent and can join any team.
This opens a lot of opportunities. The most favorable result is a return to the Cleveland Cavaliers. Although nothing is known yet, analyst Skip Bayless gave his thoughts regarding LeBron’s future.
According to him, James is looking to use the Oklahoma City Thunder which will help him play with Bronny James. The OKC has a minimum of four picks to their name in the 2024 draft. This is the first draft in which Bronny is eligible to get selected. Getting Bronny and LeBron at the same time, who says no?
