That's what I think too. The name will carry on but he sure does have a skill set to showcase to everyone. I don't think the NBA will miss this chance to see what the son of Lebron could do on the professional league and I am sure there will be teams that will be interested in him. Maybe not a super-max contract player but as long as he is given a shot then he can prove himself to the fans.

Damian Lillard news.

Okay, so no picking and telling the public.
Lillard wants to play in Miami, what's the NBA problem with that? I mean, players can choose where they can go as long as the salary cap is there. It is the filter to avoid a lot of superstars in one team, if Miami Heat can pay then or better pay a luxury tax then it's still a win-win for the NBA business.

According to Shams the NBA has warned Damian Lillard and his agent that if they make any more comments about Damn only wanting to play for the Miami Heat then they would be, “subject to discipline.” I think this shows that Portland isn’t exactly set on sending Dame where he wants to go. Dame ending up unhappy on an obscure team might be the surprise of the offseason.

I don't see it that way. Too early to conclude that where in fact there's a lot more time to recover and be healthy again.

Besides, how can we assume that things early were in the first place, Bronny even while experiencing cardiac arrest still fully conscious, neurologically intact, and stable upon arriving at the hospital, and after just a few days got discharged as if nothing happened and allow him to rest instead on his home?

If he will be seen active again in playing, Bronny being the top prospect at the next year's draft won't change. Aside from his being really good, his name itself will make any team profitable right at the start of his early years on the team as for sure many basketball enthusiasts will pay for tickets to see him playing. In other words, expect a full crowd once he plays especially if he will be able to keep his good performance.

That's very possible.

He was being prospect as the next known guy for the next year's draft. But it seems that it's going to affect that potential draft, he may not be that guy that will be the # 1 pick.

Still, it's possible that there will be a team that will get him as Lebron said and guarantees that he wants to make it happen that before his retirement, he want to play with his son.

And wherever his son is, there he will go too. I wish the speedy recovery for Bronny. There's a possible problem with his intakes.

I do agree, and hopefully the family of Lebron will just simply ignored this news and let Bronny heal and continue with his career. That's how media is, specially with the James family. And for sure they have been followed multiple times already and Bronny will be in the limelight when he started to go back and play basketball again. And with Lebron's money, they might have to spend some to just take care of Bronny and make him healthy again.


All we can say is that he is still very young, so his chances of recovery is very high here. So personally, I think he will go back in playing basketball again and be a normal kid and then go and play with his father in the NBA in the next 2 years as if nothing had happen to Bronny.

I agree. With Bronny being a decent prospect and the chance to land LeBron with a minimum contract to play alongside him, it’s worth spending a late round draft pick on him. That isn’t even to mention the business side of it. Being mentioned in the record books, jersey sales, ticket sales… It’s a no brainer, even with heart issues from a questionable source.

I am sure that someone will draft him because of his father, but also everyone has been talking about how he would be drafted due to his father but the kid isn't that bad himself. He is an nba draft potential player even without his father, maybe early second round at worst case, but he would be drafted if his father wasn't lebron james. It's not about how good he is, sure he is good but also about the fact that there aren't that many players that is better than him that year.

Many players are worse, so if we are talking about 60 players drafted, I do not see 60 better than him players on his generation. Which is why he will most probably be drafted anyway, with Lebron as his father, he will be drafted even higher for sure.

Those writers are taking this situation as an opportunity to earn the attention of the readers. They should respect the family first
before writing anything about Bronny.

That incident can cause him mental issue because we all know how he's desiring to reach the NBA and with this cardiac issue it might
limit him, but there should be no negative write up that trying to conclude his future.

He together with his whole family is the only one who can decide what's best for him and his career.

Yes, these articles released about Bronny James's situation are not really helping at all because instead of bringing a positive and real news, they instead bring some doubts to the public about his future in the NBA just to gather some attentions from the crowd. A click bait article to be exact.

Furthermore, it is still too soon to have a conclusion towards his future in the NBA because almost everything are still unknown at this point, let's just be thankful first that he is now discharged from the hospital and is now resting towards his recovery. I guess it is safe to say that his future is still bright as the sun.

I don't think that the team's chemistry will be affected because of Jaylen Brown's new contract, instead, the team will have a boost because Brown has been given the contract that he wanted and we have Jayson Tatum as well who I think will make a good run next season so that he can secure a contract extension this summer because he is also eligible to sign a supermax contract that is already rumored to be bigger than Brown. And then we have Kristaps Porzingis, a newly acquired player through a 3 team trade.

About that, let's just hope for the better and that Bronny will not suffer the same scenario again because it's not about being fit because if it's about that, he shouldn't be suffering from it as he's already fit. Heart diseases creeps you in the most unexpected times and you cannot ever prepare for that. Take for example Damar Harlin of the Buffalo Bills, he also suffered the same thing and worse it did happened to him in the middle of an NFL game.

Bronny James still have some time to recover and be in his best fit as possible knowing that his father, LeBron James, will do everything just to make their dreams into reality by hiring the best team to surround his son just to make him play as soon as possible. It could be a few couple of months before he can play again in the court with the USC Trojans but I doubt that what happened to him recently will affect his future towards the 2024 NBA Draft.

I am not following the NBA too much nowadays. But still, there is no denying from even someone like me that this is a huge contract. He’s going to get a really good amount of money from his contract. But I agree with you guys that the player will still have to be very concentrated on his performance and money should not bring any changes to the play style or behaviour of the player.

Tatum is a good player. But he will have to perform better in my opinion to actually get a contract like Jaylen Brown. But I don’t think it is impossible for Tatum to get a contract like that.

There is a lot of something that is going through this kid for sure he doesn't want to be in that shoes dating a pornstar like Moriah Mills and he definitely regrets it, well surely enough his career was ruined after this, and we become fat again, and it was a downward spiral for him right now, he is like Khawi Leonard 1.0 at least Leonard is showing his ass on some of the games but Zion Williams is a different build, so as expected he is getting Salary without showing himself is really gruesome,


If he can have a different outcome this coming season maybe the team will still give him a chance but maybe then he would go back to the Zion Williamson we all love back then we can never know because right now he is really getting stubborn for sure he is likely becoming like Kawhi Leonard that will make something and getting it some injuries that don't make sense or he is just making excuses so he can not play for the team,


After suffering from Cardiac Arrest, right now Bronny James is at home and resting with his family, for sure Cardiac Arrest can make one's life so different and the Questions are why did it happen and how did it happen, and when will it happen again, for sure this could be a hindrance for the little Lebron James and James just wants to play with his son, but if Bronny James can not play anymore I think the 2nd son is still viable to play,

Agreed, there will be people hesitent now to pick him up due to medical.  Honestly if I were him I'd be more concerned with my health right now that getting back on the court.  For some guys it's the way out of being poor so worth the risk.  Bronny will be just fine in that regard lol.  In all honesty hope the kid recovers and can continue ue to play.

There could be any number of reasons why this happened. But what I am sure of is that this incident will affect Bronny's future NBA career in one way or another. It's also worth noting that the NBA has an overly busy schedule of games, and that's a huge stress on any player's body. In Bronny's case, the stress on his heart will be much greater than it is now.

If I were Tatum I'd pass the ball to Jaylen Brown so many times like telling him every shoot you will make is money.  Just kidding. But I have a feeling this will create a bad locker room issue. It's not new, it will happen. Somehow, there's a part of Tatum that envies the salary of JB despite him being the face of the Boston Celtics.
Future contract you say? What if something bad happens? Injuries are part of the game and if it's the worst he might not even be able to reach that amount. If not Tatum, his wife will be the one pushing the issue and it will not be a good conversation every time they talk about it.
Anyone who worked at a company has that kind of experience.

I was thinking about a player who has the almost same problem. LaMarcus Aldridge. Wolff-Parkinson-White disease, the rapid heartbeat that leads to not having another contract for any team.
Teams do look at the medical conditions of each player, I am no doubt this news about Bronny will be a hindrance to creating high salary contracts.

Might be, but for sure Tatum might have this in his mind next season about that huge contract that Brown is getting. And we think that he is the franchise player of the Celtics, however, if he is also going to be offered a huge money, then what will happen to the rest of the contract of their players?

They still need to find decent players to surround this two, a good center, a point guard and other role positions and they still need to offer them good to decent money. So the Celtics need to balance out everything, or it could be true that they are shifting everything to Jaylen Brown now?

That's almost x2 of Tatum's contract, as per report, his projected salary next seasons is $32,600,060, way lower than what Brown would receive, but it should not change the chemistry of the team as the management could decide to give Tatum a big contract as well once he will renew, but of course, he has to give the expectation of the team management so they will give him a bigger contract.

Yeah, it's a mix reaction for now, others are relieved to hear that he is out of danger and kudos to the staff who tend to him. On the other hand, I read some news that it might be the end of his career. However, I'm taking it with a grain of salt, perhaps just like crypto, it's full of FUD and negative news for click bait article.

In any case he is still capable of playing in the NBA, and if I'm not mistaken he has shown intention for a draft, so he might be in the next draft class and for sure there will be teams that are going to pick because afterall, he is still the of Lebron and they want to make history in the next couple of years, as the first father and son in the NBA.
