    So he took $3 million less to make sure Bronny got drafted. I’m going to be shocked if the kid can actually ball out.

      He took less so the team would be under the second apron, this makes it way easier to improve the roster. I don’t see how Bronny plays into this?

        Because he could have easily gotten a max contract on several other teams, and he made it obvious he wasn’t going to stay with the Lakers if they didn’t draft his son.

        Because Bronny got a pretty good deal. It looks likely that LeBron took a cut to give it to his son - nypost.com/…/bronny-james-contract-details-reveal…
