That might not be great news for the Los Angeles Lakers. According to renowned NBA insider Marc Stein, at least two teams would be able to convince LeBron to join them if they get their son, as James can become a free agent by declining the final year of his contract with the Lakers.

“My dream has always just been to put my name out, make a name for myself, and get to the NBA, which is everyone’s end goal that’s here. I never thought about just playing with my dad, but of course, he’s brought it up a couple of times. But yeah, I don’t think about it much,” Bronny said.
