Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.If the Golden State Warriors are fortunate enough to win the LeBron James sweepstakes, the job wouldn’t necessarily be finished just yet.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementAcquiring James’ son, Bronny, from the Los Angeles Lakers would likely be the next order of business to appease their new superstar forward. Wisely, the Warriors are among the teams that have already begun discussing a potential trade for the Lakers’ 21-year-old guard.“A wrinkle discussed by multiple teams in the mix for him is his oldest son, Bronny,” Front Office Sports’ Alex Schiffer wrote Monday. “The 21-year-old just finished his second NBA season with the Lakers and had his $2.2 million salary guaranteed for next season on June 29, the day before his father’s split from the Lakers was announced by both parties.”“Multiple front office sources from teams in the mix for James (Warriors, Cavaliers, Timberwolves, Heat, 76ers, per ESPN’s Shams Charania) said they have discussed acquiring Bronny should his father pick their team. ‘We wouldn’t be doing our jobs if we didn’t discuss it,” one Western Conference executive told FOS.“LeBron and Bronny became the first father-son teammate duo in NBA history when the Lakers drafted Bronny No. 55 overall in 2024. The executives said it’s unknown if the elder James would want his new team to trade for his son.”AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementLast Sunday, Lakers Nation’s Trevor Lane revealed that a second-round pick is the likely asking price for a Bronny-centered trade, giving the Warriors a clear sense of what they’ll have to surrender to bring the USC product to the Bay.The Dubs can’t get too far ahead of themselves, though, as they must secure LeBron’s services first before returning their attention to his eldest son. Still, it’s a positive sign that they have a plan in place to ensure they put themselves in the best possible position to succeed during a pivotal stretch of the offseason.More NBA news:76ers officially beat out Lakers, Spurs for $38 million ex-Cavaliers elite defenderCeltics officially sign $295 million ex-Jazz All-Star guard to help Jayson TatumKnicks officially outduel Lakers for historic 6-foot-5 playoff hero, NBA champion
