Utah Jazz Scouting Bronny and Lakers Are Betting Favorite To Land King James’ Son

The Utah Jazz are reportedly considering picking Bronny James, the son of NBA superstar LeBron James, in the upcoming NBA draft. According to Krysten Peek of Yahoo Sports, the Jazz are interested in having Bronny come for a workout and might select him with the 32nd pick.

“The Jazz have expressed interest in bringing Bronny in for an individual workout and could be interested in him with the 32nd pick, sources told Yahoo Sports,” Peek reported. “The franchise has been patiently rebuilding behind the leadership of Danny Ainge, and bringing in Bronny with the hopes of luring a superstar like LeBron could be the jump owner Ryan Smith is looking for to add a spark to the Jazz.”

The Jazz, led by executive Danny Ainge, hope that drafting Bronny might entice LeBron James to join the team, adding a major boost to their lineup. 

Now, you may know, LeBron is the oldest player in the NBA and just wrapped his 21st season. It’s wild to think that NBA franchises will still do just about anything to land the four-time champion at this stage in his career by drafting his son, but these are the times. For the record, Bron is still a top-10 player in the league and has broken just about every record, so from that standpoint, it makes sense. 

From a business standpoint, LeBron James has a player option to leave the Lakers and become a free agent after the 2024-25 season. This means he could potentially sign with any team, including the one that drafts his son, allowing them to play together. That part. 

Current betting odds favor the Los Angeles Lakers as the team most likely to select Bronny at +160 ($100 bet to win $160) to select Bronny James. The New York Knicks, Miami Heat, Cleveland Cavaliers, Philadelphia 76ers, Oklahoma City Thunder, and Dallas Mavericks are all a distant second at +1700.

Bronny James has been participating in the NBA Combine in Chicago this week, where young players showcase their skills. He performed well in a scrimmage on Wednesday, scoring 13 points, an improvement from his previous game. His efforts have impressed many analysts, including former NBA star Jamal Crawford and Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times.

The NBA draft will take place on June 26 and 27. While Bronny is aiming to play in the NBA, it’s still uncertain if he will end up playing on the same team as his father.

James Worthy Thinks a LeBron James Statue in Los Angeles is 'Doable'

LeBron James will return for the 21st season, adding to a legacy that Los Angeles Lakers legend James Worthy already believes is worthy of a statue outside Crypto.com Arena. TMZ Sports caught up with Big Game James and answered whether it would be a good idea.

“It depends on what he does here out,” Worthy said. “Personally, and I think he would agree, he hadn’t been here long enough. He’s won a championship. But I think his overall greatness, when you have a player like LeBron who breaks Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s record in Los Angeles, does it as a Laker, then wins a championship as a Laker, you can’t argue that he could get a statue in Los Angeles. And he could get one in Cleveland as well. So, I don’t know about Miami, but bringing one to Cleveland and Los Angeles, it’s doable, in my opinion.”

LeBron James will once again wear the No. 23 jersey for the Los Angeles Lakers. Over the weekend, the decision from James was revealed, aligning with the league’s retirement of No. 6 to honor the late Bill Russell.

When the league retired the jersey, the players who already wore the number could continue if they chose. Bron has now decided to move back to his original number.

Last week, LeBron James was at the 2023 ESPYS, winning the Best Record-Breaking Performance award. On hand to introduce King James was the James Gang, his wife Savannah, and children Zhuri, Bryce, and Bronny. Bron revealed that he would not be retiring this offseason during his time on stage.

“I don’t care how many more points I score or what I can or cannot do on the floor,” James said. “The real question for me is: Can I play without cheating this game? The day I can’t give everything on the floor is the day I’ll be done. Lucky for you guys, that day is not today.

“Listen, you can love me and I know some of you hate me as well. But the one thing you will always do is respect me and appreciate the way I approach the game and what I’ve given to this game.”

He closed the confirmation with, “So, yeah, I still got something left. A lot left. I love you all, and thank you so much for watching this journey so far.”

LeBron James is going crazy right now. During a trip to Madison Square Guarde to play the Knicks, King James dropped 28 points, 11 assists, and 10 rebounds en route to a win and becoming the fourth all-time leader in NBA assists. Need more? He inched even closer to passing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar on the All-Time scoring list.

In taking the fourth spot on the list, King James passed up a couple of point Gods in Mark Jackson (10,334) and Steve Nash (10,335).

“It’s amazing because that’s just what I love to do and get my guys involved,” said James to ESPN. “Anytime you link with some of the greats — Mark Jackson played here, was drafted here by the Knicks, so it’s a super cool thing. And obviously, we know when Nash was [in the league]; I played against him for many, many years. His ability to pass the ball was very uncanny.”

LeBron James continues to make NBA history. The Los Angeles Lakers forward became the first player in league history to reach 10,000 points, rebounds and assists.

King James reached the milestone with an assist in the second quarter of Sunday’s game against the Suns in Phoenix.

James recently revealed he wanted to play his last season with his son Bronny. Bronny is eligible to join the NBA in 2024.

“My last year will be played with my son. Wherever Bronny is at, that’s where I’ll be. I would do whatever it takes to play with my son for one year. It’s not about the money at that point.”

The 37-year-old sits at over 36-thousand points on his storied career and sits behind only Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Karl Malone on the NBA’s all-time regular season scoring list.

Share your thoughts on LeBron James making history as the first player to reach the milestone of 10k points, rebounds and assists.
