Bronny James on scrutiny/pressure playing for Lakers & w/ LeBron: “I’ve been dealing with stuff like this my whole life. So it’s nothing different. But it’s more amplified, for sure. But I’ll get through it.” My dispatch for @SportingTrib bit.ly/3zsZLIa pic.twitter.com/jugQZ2anLa – 7:09 PM

Here is the Lakers offseason if LeBron James signed for the maximum allowed.
Los Angeles would need to shave roughly $25M (and maybe more) of salary to have access to the $12.8M non-tax mid-level exception.
Any sign-and-trade also hard caps the Lakers at the $178.1M first pic.twitter.com/SfE30lxlVI – 4:21 PM

More on this storyline
Shams Charania: JUST IN: LeBron James plans to sign a two-year, $104 million maximum deal to return to the Los Angeles Lakers, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium. https://t.co/0lkqafA0As -via Twitter @ShamsCharania / July 3, 2024
The 55th overall pick tried to downplay the father-son narrative by making a claim that raised some eyebrows. “For me, I always try to put that narrative [aside],” said Bronny. “Trying to get my name out myself. … I’ve never really had a thought of me going to play with my dad. That’s always there … but it wasn’t a main focus of mine.” -via Larry Brown Sports / July 3, 2024
ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski said of DeRozan: “There is interest in DeMar DeRozan. But the kind of contract that he might want just is not going to be available; it’s not left out there in the marketplace. The Bulls are more than willing to work on a sign and trade agreement to get him the years and money that he might want. With the new salary cap rules, those are much difficult for teams to do. The Lakers have interest… LeBron James has talked about a willingness to take significantly less money to open up their mid-level exception. “In DeMar DeRozan’s case, it may look like a one-year deal somewhere, let the market reset next year. If you do a sign and trade, it’s got to be at least three years and then you’re locked into a three-year deal at a number you may not like. The Lakers are interested, but is there a mechanism that would allow them to create a slot to acquire him? That will be the harder part.” -via Miami Herald / July 3, 2024
