Although James could have chosen to play for any team by opting out of the final year of his contract, general manager Rob Pelinka guaranteed him a plan was in the works.
In fact, this is the first time in NBA history that a father-son duo will be on the same active roster. It’s been a long journey for the USC prospect considering his impressive recovery after a cardiac arrest.
