LeBron James’ Player Option Allows Him To Play Wherever His Son Bronny Gets Drafted To In 2024
LeBron James is a freak of nature. He’s about to start his 20th year in the NBA, still hasn’t shown any signs of slowing down and arguably still is one of the best players in this league at age 37.
But when you think about the NBA average, which James clearly is no part of, the question of a possible retirement often is the elephant in the room for players in their mid-thirties. LeBron though has no plans of retiring before 2024. That’s when his son, LeBron James Jr., could play in the NBA.
Bronny is currently Sierra Canyon School, and has become one of the top recruits in his class. According to some reports, LeBron James will be willing to leave the Lakers, or any team for that matter, to have the opportunity to play alongside his son.
And by signing his 2 year $97.1 million contract extension with the Lakers on Wednesday, LeBron is now in perfect position to actually go wherever Bronny goes, should he make it to the NBA.
Due to his player option for the 2024-25 season, James could opt out of his contract and enter free agency, the same year his son becomes draft eligible.
