Bronny James' future with Lakers gets major update following departure of LeBron James

1 hour ago 2

After eight years with the Los Angeles Lakers, LeBron James plans to continue his career elsewhere. 

Since James informed the Lakers of his intentions to move on, there has been speculation about what his decision means for the future of his son, Bronny James, and now we have an update. 

Lakers could move Bronny James once LeBron James finds new NBA home

According to ESPN's Dave McMenamin, the Lakers could ultimately trade Bronny to whatever team LeBron decides to play for so that the father-son duo could continue to play together.

The possibility also exists that Bronny remains with the Lakers even as his father plays elsewhere. Bronny's $2.3 million contract for next season became fully guaranteed last week. 

"LeBron has spoken at length about how meaningful it has been to be teammates with his son, and those feelings only grew late last season when they shared the court in competitive games. ... ... It's easy to think the James family would want that connection to continue," McMenamin wrote. 

"... Once LeBron makes his decision on his next team, there could be a subsequent move made with Bronny." 

It remains to be seen what will happen, but it sounds like LeBron's departure from the Lakers doesn't necessarily mean that his days of playing alongside his son are over.
