BREAKING: Lakers Make Bronny James Decision After Loss to Grizzlies
No Deal for LeBron's Son
The Los Angeles Lakers have decided against signing Bronny James, the son of LeBron James, after their disappointing loss to the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday night. The Lakers were reportedly interested in signing Bronny to a two-way contract, but they ultimately decided that he was not yet ready for the NBA.
Disappointing Performance
Bronny James, 20, played for the Lakers' G League affiliate, the South Bay Lakers, this season. He averaged 9.8 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 3.1 assists per game. However, he struggled in his brief stint with the Lakers, averaging just 1.8 points per game in three appearances.
LeBron James' Disappointment
LeBron James was reportedly disappointed by the Lakers' decision not to sign his son. He has been a vocal advocate for Bronny's NBA career, and he was hoping that the Lakers would give him a chance to prove himself. However, the Lakers' front office ultimately decided that Bronny was not yet ready for the NBA, and they did not want to give him a roster spot that could be better used by a more experienced player.
Lakers' Future Plans
The Lakers are now expected to focus on signing other players to fill out their roster. They are reportedly interested in signing DeMar DeRozan, Russell Westbrook, and Buddy Hield. The Lakers are hoping to make a run at the NBA championship this season, and they believe that these players can help them achieve that goal.
Bronny James' Future
Bronny James' NBA future is now uncertain. He could try to sign with another NBA team, or he could return to the G League. He could also choose to play overseas, or he could even retire from basketball. It is unclear what Bronny James will do next, but he is likely to have a long and successful career in basketball, regardless of whether or not he ever plays in the NBA.
