Dwight Howard claims LeBron wants Bronny James to play for the Lakers too

Meanwhile, with Bryce James now about to graduate and head to Arizona, there are talks that his father, LeBron James, is also trying to get him to the LA Lakers, much like his elder son, Bronny.

While this is still speculation, one man, former LeBron teammate Dwight Howard, thinks so. He appeared on Paul George's podcast this week and claimed LeBron is really trying to do so:

"I have not officially retired yet, but I don't know what I'm going to do yet. I thought I was going to get back in the league, but Paul said he didn't want nobody over 35 playing center… I asked LeBron. He said he wanted Bronny and he said he's trying to get Bryce,” claimed the former NBA All-Star.

"The last time I told LeBron he said, listen I'm trying to get Bronny and Bryce to be on the Lakers and I'm trying to get Savannah to be– he's going to be the owner of the team so it's a family affair, the whole James family," he added.

Bryce is still considered a work in progress and will be eligible to play in the NBA in 2026.
