Looks like LeBron may once again leave for another team.

LeBron James reportedly would be willing to leave the Lakers in order to play with his son Bronny in the NBA.

Bronny is currently a junior at Sierra Canyon School. He is one of the top recruits in his class, according to ESPN.

“It makes sense on many levels to assume that LeBron will spend the remainder of this season and all of next season with the Lakers so that he can be close to his son all the way through high school,” MaximBet’s Chris Sheridan wrote.

“But after June of 2023 has come and gone (and James’ current contract with the Lakers will have expired), there could be a new destination on James’ landscape … provided he has not already switched teams prior to that in order to increase his chances of winning another title.”

“LeBron likes L.A., he likes raising his family in L.A., and his post-career businesses are in L.A.,” ESPN’s Brian Windhorst told Sheridan. “But he’s made it very clear that he wants to play with his son. If that situation is available outside L.A., he’ll pursue it.”

LeBron is averaging 29.1 points, 7.7 rebounds and 6.3 assists per game this season while shooting 52.2 percent from the field and 35.2 percent from beyond the arc.

Not sure how much longer LeBron will be able to play at this level, but assuming Bronny is in the NBA in a few years, this may just be possible.
