LeBron James’ future remains somewhat in doubt, but it seems like the Los Angeles Lakers<\/a> are willing to pull quite the recruiting tactic to keep him in Southern California.<\/p>\n

According to The Athletic’s Shams Charania, the Lakers are “very open to the prospect of helping LeBron fulfill his dream<\/a> of playing with his son Bronny by potentially drafting him.”<\/p>\n

Bronny, 19, declared for the NBA Draft earlier this month, despite stats not being on his side following a cardiac arrest over the summer. He is still able to pull out of the draft and stay in school, and he’s also entered the transfer portal.<\/p>\n

However, James has long expressed a desire to play with not only Bronny<\/a>, but even his younger son Bryce.<\/p>\n

“In a perfect world, the Lakers have LeBron James back, and potentially they draft Bronny James \u2014 I’m told they are interested in picking him in the draft,” Charania added on FanDuel TV’s “Run It Back” on Tuesday<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Athletic reported that the Lakers want James back with or without Bronny, but interestingly, James has until June 29 to opt out of his current deal with the Lakers. The NBA Draft is June 26 and 27, so James could, theoretically, opt out upon seeing his son’s destination, if he has one.<\/p>\n

ESPN, though, noted that James’ top priority isn’t necessarily to play with his son anymore, but rather, having Bronny develop as a player has taken precedent.<\/p>\n

After James’ Lakers were eliminated in the NBA Playoffs by the Denver Nuggets<\/a> for the second time in as many years, he was noncommittal about his future with the Lakers.<\/p>\n

He declined to answer whether that was his last game as a Laker, and said he hadn’t “given it much thought” about a 22nd NBA season.<\/p>\n

“Obviously, at some point, I\u2019ll sit down with Rich [Paul], my agent, and sit down with my family and see what\u2019s best for my career. We\u2019ll cross that when we need to,” he said.<\/p>\n

James said Bronny is trying to decide if he\u2019s going to enter the draft or go back to school. He averaged 4.8 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.1 assists in his freshman season.<\/p>\n
