NBA fans think teams are going to draft Bronny James simply to get LeBron, too
Let the conspiracies begin.
Well, it’s not much of a conspiracy. But if you’re an NBA team and you want a shot at getting LeBron James on your team … wouldn’t you draft his son Bronny in the hopes that LeBron wants to follow through on his wishes to play with his kid?
Bronny announced on Friday that he intended to declare for the 2024 NBA Draft and also hit the transfer portal, keeping his options open for next year either way.
Despite the fact that Bronny struggled this year, there are those who think the move is to draft him simply to entice LeBron, which is a little devious to say the least:

If you are the Sixers, would you draft Bronny with the chance that LeBron would want to play with his son and could sign with the Sixers? https://t.co/PSaXE7Jcq1

How high in the draft would you take Bronny if that meant you 100% get LeBron in free agency? pic.twitter.com/b0Jv1FXmPE
