Is LeBron James No Longer a Valuable Asset? Stinging Bronny James News May Become Detrimental to The King’s Goals

Bronny James got the praise of his father as he displayed a stunning display of skill in his USC debut. The son of the veteran LeBron James played for the University of South California against Long Beach State. After having suffered a cardiac arrest in July, Bronny’s performance won many a heart as LeBron kept standing and video shooting with his smartphone.

Bronny missed the first eight games of the season due to his health issues. He was rumored to declare for the 2024 NBA draft, but his health issues put a dent in his plans. Will teams gamble to have the father-son duo in the ranks? Former NBA officials reasoned that teams won’t be much interested as LeBron is aging.

Would teams get Bronny to have LeBron James?

Though his team lost 84-79, Bronny’s game invited a standing ovation from his great father. Bronny bagged 4 points 3 rebounds and 2 assists in the game. Many analysts praised his jumping and playmaking abilities. What are his chances of being included in the NBA draft?

Former NBA executive Bobby Marks shared that teams won’t be interested in having the father-son duo in the lineup. Despite Bronny being eligible for the draft after this year, his father-son duo in a team is a pipedream according to Bobby Marks.

Bobby Marks’ comments on ESPN were not a bundle of unfounded assertions. He went on to explain what makes him think about the scenario he feels is unlikely.

Bobby Marks’ reasoning behind the unlikelihood of the LebBron-Bronny pair

Bobby Marks has 20 years of experience working in the NBA. Asked if teams will be willing to have Bronny James to get the old but gold LeBron James, Bobby replied in the negative. “It is hard for me to see that especially if it is in the teams in the top ten.” He shared that picking Bronny James in the early second round eighth pick in the draft to get LeBron James was highly unlikely. Further, he added that teams don’t operate in such a manner. Rather he opined that they are run the way their board dictates.

But what about the teams in the top 20s? He shared that teams like Indiana Pacers and New York Knicks too won’t be interested in booking the the debutant son to get the legendary father.
