He stood next to Pelinka as the Golden State Warriors, who had tried to trade for James last season, weighed whether to take Bronny at No. 52. The Warriors liked Bronny’s skill set and had him on their draft board, sources said. Selecting him ahead of the Lakers, who held the 55th pick, would’ve been a shrewd move — perhaps even to entice James to sign there as a free agent. But ultimately, sources said, the Warriors opted to respect the wishes James had made clear and the Lakers signaled they would grant.

However, Redick did share another way in which Bronny got the better of LeBron in training camp so far: The Lakers’ No. 55 pick ran the farthest of any player on the team during Day 1 of camp, according to player-tracking cameras installed at the UCLA Health and Training Center. Said Redick: “I went over to Bronny before practice and I was like, ‘Dude, you ran six miles.’” -via ESPN / October 3, 2024
Mike Trudell: AD said Bronny hit a 3 over LeBron today, much to the delight of their teammates, and LeBron went down and bullied somebody else on the next possession. “I’m just honored to be here witnessing it … to me it just means the world to LeBron. It’s a different level of joy.” -via Twitter @LakersReporter / October 2, 2024
