On June 28, 2024, during the NBA draft's second round, the Lakers selected LeBron James' eldest son, Bronny James, at the 55th pick. LeBron James is expected to continue with the Lakers, creating the first father-son duo to play on the same team in NBA history. Bronny's performance at USC this season was modest, with average statistics, and he was initially projected to be a late second-round pick or undrafted until the Lakers picked him. Despite earlier warnings from LeBron's agent, Rich Paul, teams not to draft Bronny due to potential plans to play in Australia, the Lakers successfully secured him. LeBron is also set to sign a new contract with the Lakers worth approximately $162 million over three years, ensuring his NBA career continues until at least the age of 42.
