LeBron James, long linked to the New York Knicks, has reportedly backed down on the idea of playing with his son.
Long linked to the New York Knicks, LeBron James is reportedly closing his family business before it opens.
The prevailing rumor is that James, who has often publicly pined to share an NBA floor with his kin, is a package deal with Bronny, who is widely projected to be a second round pick out of Southern California. But renowned agent Rich Paul, James' childhood friend and longtime representative, put such a theory to rest in comments to Jonathan Givony of ESPN.
"We don't need leverage. The Lakers can draft Bronny and LeBron doesn't re-sign. LeBron is also not going to Phoenix for a minimum deal. We can squash that now." Still stationed with the Los Angles Lakers, James, 39, has a $51.4 player option for the 2024-25 season with a June 29 deadline looming. If he does hit the free agency board one more time, many will no doubt ship him and the Knicks, as James has been equally vocal about his love of playing at Madison Square Garden.
