Rich Paul says LeBron is off the idea of ‘having to play with Bronny’ - Givony | NBA Today

Jonathan Givony joins NBA Today to discuss his conversation with Rich Paul, the agent for Bronny James, where Paul says that Bronny has only worked out for the Los Angeles Lakers and Phoenix Suns ahead of the 2024 NBA Draft. Bobby Marks gives his thoughts on Bronny’s draft prospects and the chances he ends up playing in the G League at some point.

LeBron is available. He just won't speak on that fact. Lakers have no coach, a weak roster, and one decent draft pick to use or trade. LeBron can be had for the right situation. Absolutely

[@catfishhornet]

Maybe trade leverage for Phx? Once Lebron signs back with the Lakers, he will probably command the Lakers to trade for Bronny. The Lakers would have to give up way more than Bronny''s value.

Why not get us familiar with your top 2 draft picks rather than talk about a draftee that could be picked 55th? Only reason this is a story is because it's Bronny....which means it's unnecessary

you already answered your question twice. 1st you dont know much about the top 1-2 picks? why do you think? coz theyre not that good, market is low, meaning coverage for them wont be a priority. 2nd, because its bronny.....whos the son of who? ffs, were you born yesterday? at the end of the day, its all about business. perhaps you spend to much time on your phone or computer

Or will it all fall apart if some random team takes Bronny or he goes completely undrafted?

[@JaeSproo]

Impossible to go undrafted.....because Lakers have pick no. 55 in the 2nd. But someone should eff up the plan and take him before that: Toronto, Miami, Orlando, Utah, Milwaukee, San Antonio, and New York Knicks all have the opportunity to take him and spoil the LeBron plan. I would love it.

I'm excited about where he might end up too, but to Christine's comment "NBA Fans might not be to familiar with (goes through some of the names)...but EVERYBODY knows Bronny James..." and goes onto discuss Bronny James. As I said, I'm excited to see where Bronny James might end up too, but how about you cover some of these guys who are in the TOP 10 so we can get excited about them too. I think they've earned a bit more air time rather than skipping to Bronny who isn't even being considered in the First Round. If you want to promote and grow the Entire League, then you should do so. Playing favourites all the time is getting old. You might think it's what people want, but why not give people a chance to decide by exposing them to more variety instead of ticking boxes all the time. That goes for some of the other decisions and narratives you've been driving over the past few years.
