Bronny James plays coy about LeBron’s future with Lakers
The world of the NBA immediately started to speculate on the future of LeBron James with the Lakers after his representative made comments on his client on the way the team manages the off -season to try to improve the team, but Bonny James was not among the crowd.
Bonny prepared for playing for Lakers in California Classic which begins on Saturday in San Francisco. He spoke on Wednesday after training the way he was not aware of rumors and innuendo surrounding his famous teammate and father.
LeBron James opted for his $ 56.2 million contract on Sunday, leading his agent, Rich Paul, the director general of Klutch Sports, to say to ESPN that James looked carefully to see how the Lakers would improve the team.
“We understand the difficulty of winning now while preparing for the future,” said Paul to Espn. “We want to assess what is best for LeBron at this stage of his life and his career. He wants to make every season he has left, and the Lakers understand this, are favorable and want what is best for him.”
In the NBA circles, this was considered a way to force the president of basketball operations of the Lakers Rob Pelinka to make movements during the off-season to improve the team or that James could be willing to look for a profession.
Paul clearly told ESPN it was not the case.
Bronny, during his second season in the NBA after being selected in the second round of the draft at n ° 55 in June 2024, said that he was no longer as much on social networks, but that he had been told of the news.
“In fact, one of my friends called me to talk about where I was going to do.” Because they saw my father, it doesn’t matter. I haven’t seen him, “said Bonny after training on Wednesday.” He called me. I said to myself: “Yeah, I have no idea what you are talking about. …. I don’t really pay attention to this kind of thing.
The Lakers moved on Wednesday, accepting an agreement with Deandre Ayton, giving them a center they should have.
We asked Bonny if his conversations with LeBron include the management of the franchise and where his father wants to play.
“No, we are not talking about it much,” said Bronny. “But I think that when things like that happen, he just tells me not to worry about it, not even pay attention. Just recover in what you have right now. And that’s what will improve and keep me focused.
