LeBron James announced he was going to leave the Lakers, just a day after the team guaranteed Bronny's contract for the 2026-27 season. He will be making more than $2 million.
"If the Lakers keep Bronny, he would continue his development under Redick , who has spent considerable time working with the 21-year-old guard, and be surrounded by Doncic , Reaves , Vanderbilt, Dalton Knecht and Adou Thiero , with whom he has strong relationships," the writer added.
Bronny was selected by the Lakers in the second round of the 2024 NBA Draft. He played one year of college basketball at USC. A lot of NBA analysts felt Bronny was taken by the Lakers, due to his relationship with his dad.
