Previously, Bronny participated in this year's NBA rookie draft and was "no surprise" selected by the Lakers in the second round. "Reuters" reported that Brownie admitted in an interview that he was under a lot of pressure because of his father's relationship, but he would work hard to overcome it.The 34-year-old DeRozan is a native of Compton, Los Angeles. He has stated many times that he wants to return to his hometown to play. He revealed that he almost joined the Lakers in the 2024奧運2021 off-season, but the Lakers chose Russell Westbrook that year.
DeRozan played 79 games for the Bulls last season, averaging 24.0 points, 4.3 rebounds and 5.3 assists, and shooting 33.3% from three-point range. He still has star skills. Unless he really loves the Lakers, it is difficult to imagine that he will only sign a mid-level contract. If the Lakers want to get him, they may need to sign first and then trade.
However, according to the latest news from "The Athletic" reporter Shams Charania, Browne will only report to "a few of the teams," including the Suns and Lakers. The Suns will have the 22nd and 59th picks in this year's draft, while the Lakers will have the 17th and 55th picks.
The 2024 NBA Draft will be held on June 26-27 at the Barclays巴黎奧運會Center, home of the Nets.
James is 39 years old. Next season will be the 22nd season of his career. If he does not exercise his player option and chooses to re-sign with the Lakers, he can get a maximum of 3 years and US$162 million in contracts. If he joins another team as a free agent, the maximum price tag is US$157 million over three years.
