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.

TBH, I didn't expect that this contract will push through. Maybe the impact of Brown towards the success of the team for the past few years is just that big that they give him that huge contract. I wonder how will Tatum respond to this one knowing that he has more impact than him in terms of success.

Anyway, congratulations for him for getting the richest contract in NBA history. I just hope that his performance in the future will be better now than what it last season.

I will not say terrible, but the term "young" would fit better than it.

Not against your opinion, and I agree with the fact that he's on a team which is considered mediocre last season, but on the other hand, I think that the Thunder team has a future especially him. Just imagine how many draft picks they have in the future years. If 1 or 2 of them will be developed, and be an all-star alongside Shai, with that young age they might dominate the league for a number of years. Like you though, I was also surprised on how they performed last season knowing that they are a young team.

Don't expect too much on CP3 because he will likely play on the bench. It will either he will play on the bench, or he will be traded after the all-star. If he doesn't want the role, he will get traded. That's my take on him.

He's a great passer yes, but we know his history in the playoffs. I think if I will grade all of the performances of players in the playoffs in NBA history, he has one of the worst if not the worst. When they needed him the most, he will get injured. Anyway, as a Warrior fan, I will also bet on them on winning this season like always. Now they filled their problem last season which is the paint. They got Saric, Jackson-Davis, and Looney to fill that gap. They have better role players now than last season, so I expect their season to be better than last as well. They might get at least the top 3 spot in the West if you will ask me.

Do we know the reason why he had a cardiac arrest? It is unknown, isn't it? I tried to google and it seems like it can happen for adolescent athletes, and it says more risky for the black athletes. That is interesting. But, as far as I understand, it will not definitely affect his possible nba career. As far as I understand, these things can happen. With the extra care that he will have now, I'm sure and I hope he will be ok. The thing is, I think this incident will affect Lakers either way. Not in a bad way particularly. I think with his son being ok now, Lebron will still aim to play with him. It means he will be the Lebron we know, he will perform as usual. Good news for Lakers.

Let's not make it a big deal; instead, let's be positive. Let's trust the process the team will follow because he will not be included in the NBA draft if he doesn't pass the physical exam. What if what happened isn't that serious, or there's a cure for it?

Bronny has been anticipated to play in the NBA, although he isn't as good as his father. But with LeBron's influence, there's surely a team that will draft him. However, with what happened recently, some fans may be doubting his chance to make it to the NBA.

For the incident happen to Bronny provably many teams will avoid to take him since cardiac arrest is serious health case which teams can't risk to give him a contract sue to health issues. And it seems that we can't really see the most awaited father and son duo in Nba, maybe for this incident where Bronny is in serious troubles maybe we can see Lebron retires as his plan didn't come up and he don't have anything to prove anymore. Just want to see some miracle comes and there's still a chance for son of Lebron to have a good comeback and can still able to play good basketball together with his father or if not still land on Nba.

Surely it will have an implications in the pursue to enter the NBA. Teams will consider his short term and long term health status, they will surely look on his diagnoses whether or not it will affect his performance, after the doctor says it would probably affect his basket career. Any team doesn't want liabilities. However, when his finally recovered, Bronny will most probably going to play ball again as this runs through their blood, except if doctors doesn't allow him to work excessive physical work out, then I guess that would be the end of his career.
Now, the dream about seeing LeBron and Bronny play together in the NBA is now in jeopardy.
Hope the kid bounce back 100. 

In terms of which team would sign him, I'm sure they'll consider the implications and take measures to protect their investment. So, there's nothing to worry about on their side. I'm more concerned about Bronny being able to play in the NBA, as it has always been his father's dream to play with his son.

Well, hopefully what happen is not a hindrance to his goal in the NBA.
