The Philadelphia 76ers landed LeBron James in free agency as they were able to land the future Hall of Famer on a 2-year $8 million deal with the second year being a player option. James will now join Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, Jaylen Brown, and VJ Edgecombe to form one of the strongest starting lineups in the history of the game.
With that being said, what does that mean for his son, Bronny James? The Los Angeles Lakers selected the younger James with the No. 55 pick in the 2024 NBA draft to team him up with his father. The Lakers did guarantee Bronny's deal for the 2026-27 season, but with LeBron joining Philadelphia, there was speculation that he would want his son with him.
However, per Rich Paul, that will not be the case. Neither player is tied at the hip. Bronny will continue his career with the Lakers.
As for LeBron, he will look to begin building chemistry and getting everything in line with the Sixers. Bronny will continue on with the Lakers and look to carve out his own role and legacy a bit in LA as he grows and develops as a player.
