Bronny will almost certainly sign with a team that benefits everyone involved because of LeBron’s influence in free agency and the influence of both Bronny and Rich Paul, LeBron’s agent, in the NBA.

Bronny spent just one season in the NCAA with USC before declaring for the draft.

In his first year with the Trojans, the former standout from Sierra Canyon appeared in 25 games, starting six of them. Bronny played in one season of collegiate basketball, scoring 4.8 points per game while averaging 2.8 boards and 2.1 assists. His team went 15-18 and ended ninth in the Pac-12.’

James shot 54% from the field last season while averaging 25.7 points, 7.3 boards, and 8.3 assists per game.

The first round of the NBA playoffs saw the Lakers’ season end in a 4-1 loss to the Nuggets.

Because he had a player option for the 2024–25 season in his two-year deal in 2022, he still has alternatives.
