Why LeBron's new team -- the 76ers! -- should happily trade for Bronny James

LeBron James has reportedly chosen the Philadelphia 76ers, signing a two-year deal worth $8 million, setting off new speculation about whether his son Bronny could follow. The article says there is no plan or request for Bronny to join him yet, citing ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne, but it notes the decision-making discussion inside Philadelphia could evolve as the season approaches. Bronny remains on the Los Angeles Lakers’ roster for his third year of a four-year contract signed in 2024, after the Lakers selected him with the 55th pick in 2024. When LeBron and Bronny played together in 2024, they became the first father-son duo in the NBA, and LeBron highlighted his joy during a Game 3 win over the Houston Rockets by throwing an alley-oop. The piece argues Philadelphia should consider acquiring Bronny, pointing to improvements such as his 38.6% conversion on 22 of 57 three-pointers last season, along with G League scoring and efficiency. It also references his role and recent playoff appearances as context for any trade talks.
