Would LeBron Entertain Signing With The Mavericks If They Drafted Bronny? | 6/20/24

there’s not really a headline today but I did notice this and I read this courtesy of ESPN Rich Paul is the agent to LeBron James he’s the agent to many people he’s also dating Adele he’s a big deal so he tells ESPN that LeBron is off the idea of playing with his son that was a big deal he was you know wanted him to be drafted by the Lakers or was he going to go someplace else to play with Brony now now there’s no excitement with the draft the most exciting part of the draft is bronny James where he goes which team and is he going to be a first round pick that’s about it because there’s no consensus number one overall pick nobody’s going to come in at least nobody is reportedly going to come in and change a franchise but with bronnie James this according to Rich Paul LeBron is off the idea of playing with Brony if he does uh he does but if he doesn’t he doesn’t Okay uh there’s no deal that’s guaranteed that if the Lakers draft bronny at 55 that LeBron’s going to resign if that was the case I would force them to take him at 17 we don’t need leverage once again the agent is saying I would force the Lakers to take Bron at 17 who’s running the Lakers sounds like Rich Paul is or Lebron but once again if if that was the case and LeBron was going to stay and he needed his son there I would force them to draft them at seven him at 17 the Lakers can draft bronny and LeBron doesn’t resign LeBron is also not going to Phoenix for a minimum deal we can squash that down now I did say there are other teams interested now he is limiting the number of teams that bronnie James is going to work out for right now Phoenix in LA that’s it now there are other teams that are interested according to Rich Paul Minnesota Dallas and Toronto if uh it’s someone else Minnesota would love to get bronny but I don’t know who their owner is going to be also the Mavs GM his name is Nico Harrison he’s like an uncle to bronny according to Rich Paul so let me let me just throw this out there and I don’t know if it’s going to stick I don’t know if it matters I don’t have any inside news sources with this or sources close to sources LeBron wants to play with Kyrie again and probably Kyrie wants to play with LeBron again let’s say Dallas drafted bronny James once again you got the GM okay the GM is like an uncle to bronny LeBron KY r so they draft him LeBron opts out becomes a free agent and then says to the Dallas Mavericks what do you want to pay me I’ll come in I know sounds crazy right but it’s not crazy because if you’re the Mavericks and once again Mark cubin is involved not not the way he was before he sold off a good portion of the Mavericks but if you’re looking to create a reality show and and Mark has been in the Shark Tank business for quite some time you’re creating a show here you got father and you got son you got Luca you got Kyrie you got a guy who has been labeled as his uncle sort of an uncle to bronny James okay I mean he got my attention with it and uh I just thought you know I’ll spin that here and see if anybody uh you know bites on it yes Paul let’s make it an actual show in the next episode of Shark Tank LeBron James senr LeBron James Jr they walk out with the music playing the doors open up we have an idea for you how about a family package deal to come to Dallas I did read um some quotes from uh Rich Paul you know in the past few months I think the coverage of uh bronny James has been a little unfair the stories are he won’t uh visit this place he won’t visit this place and it makes it sound like he’s um too good for these places or no but this is Rich Paul is telling these teams bronne is just doing what his agent is telling him to do yes but bronnie is getting the criticism from the average sports fan who reads the story I I read a little background Rich Paul’s been doing this for years especially with second round draft picks yeah he’s taken players like ton Horton Tucker and he finds certain places that are interested in them and pre-work the draft the contract the elements of it and he said he’s done this for about six or seven other players just not famous players well he did it to Darius Garland and he was the number five pick in 2019 uh so he’s had players a couple of first round players that he’s done this too but he’s basically saying these are the teams he’s going to work out for now he did go to the pre-draft combine everybody got to see him you want to be able to talk to him I think that’s really the key and he seems like a level-headed kid it seems like you know he was well- raised um seems humble doesn’t say much doesn’t do many interviews uh but I think this is a situation where if you’re going to look at the entire picture LeBron his role he could play with Kyrie I don’t know what they could offer him first of all I’d have to get you know Wendy or WJN or Shams to be able to say Dallas could offer this but if he’s a free agent what could you pay him and if Dallas would pick him Dallas has his second round pick I don’t think they have a first round pick do they Marv checking right now okay yeah I think it’s I think it’s like late second round they have Welly that’d be odd if the Lakers passed on him at what 55 and then the Mavs took him soon after that but okay it I know it sounds crazy but it’s just more of the it could be based in reality because Rich Paul is saying that these are teams that are interested you have Minnesota Dallas and Toronto so if it’s not the Lakers it will be somebody else Minnesota would love to get bronny but right now their owners ship is in a state of flux and then he says the Mavs GM Nico Harrison is like an uncle to bronny if if the Lakers don’t take him at 55 Dallas would take him at 58 and give him a guaranteed deal well now now it gets interesting there because if you’re LeBron you’re not going to win a title with the Lakers this team just went to the Western Conference they went to the NBA finals I should say they went to the NBA finals you want to play with Kyrie sound like Kyrie was trying to play with LeBron I don’t know maybe it’s farfetched maybe somebody’s going to go uh that’s not based in reality because of this yes Mar from a basketball standpoint I hate to be realistic but from a basketball standpoint it’s another guy that needs the ball a lot why are you a buzz kill couldn’t you could you let me run with this for more than 9 minutes you know what LeBron to the Mavericks let’s go let’s go yeah this is where LeBron becomes the Ultimate Team player what do you need me to do end of his career oh my gosh did you see LeBron sacrifice who’s the biggest star in Dallas Dak or Lebron team oh my God can you imagine social media if LeBron ended up in Dallas yes and then he goes to the Cowboys games they’d shut down the company in Bristol move everything down to Dallas ESPN yeah ESPN Dallas yeah they would just have to relocate everybody yeah that’s funny but it’s pretty true yes look they had the heat index at ESPN all I know is greeny and Stephen A are probably going why didn’t we come up with that why didn’t we get that angle today on get up or first take you know uh Skip’s not on the air for another 20 minutes so he might run with this LeBron going to the Mavs and bronny going to the Mavs but if the Lakers would pass on him and and you know once again we don’t know who’s going to be the coach I’m assuming it’s JJ reck but and could you imagine if you know the Lakers say to JJ reck we’re not taking bronny what that does to the podcast then but uh you know stranger things crazier things and you know the I guess the big question mark is LeBron’s future I know he wants to stay in LA but if you get this opportunity to play on a better better team and your son is going to be there and they give him a guaranteed contract and you play for two more years is that crazy and once again the reality part of this is the amount of money because the Lakers are going to give LeBron what he wants whatever 50 million 60 million who knows but I don’t know if Dallas can do anything that is kind of in the ballpark and maybe they can’t but it as Rich Paul LeBron’s agent says hey he’s not going to take the league minimum to go play for Phoenix but league minimum to play for Phoenix if they draft your son and you have a quality team already in place there what’s left for LeBron two things play with his son and win another championship those are the two things that are left Legacy is cemented okay you know where you are on the list of alltime greats that might change a little bit if you want another title in some people’s eyes but statistically speaking nothing is going to change he’s the greatest statistically the greatest but you get one more title there and in the process you get to play with your son yeah Paul I have an awkward curveball LeBron James has another son who’s currently in high school correct yes is is he a pretty good basketball player I haven’t really checked it out I think he uh has well sizewise he’s more like LeBron I think he’s about 68 Bryce yeah okay Bryce what if uh Lebron Maneuvers it so he plays a season with his Brony James and the other son goes hey what about me I don’t know if LeBron he’d have to but Bryce I think is a junior yeah not that long let’s start it now let’s be way ahead of this one okay so Bryce and bronny to the Mavericks do you have to be 19 uh Rich Paul could find a way around there yeah somehow ball final loophole here so it’s less than two years yeah let’s get on that one let’s move past Brony James and get on Bryce James and LeBron sticking around to play with him

Dan Patrick wonders whether or not LeBron James would entertain signing with the Dallas Mavericks in free agency if the team drafted his son Bronny
