Bronny James, LeBron's son, Magic Bound?

So pretty much Bronny James will be a top 10 pick in the 2024 NBA Draft. Considering Magic makes the playoff, could Magic get Bronny James with our First Round pick?

The other side of the story is LeBron James wants to play with his son, Bronny.

In this season along, LeBron doesn't look like a 38 year old. He is averaging more than 29 ppg.

BTW LeBron can be the perfect veteran on this team, a leader in the lockeroom and role model for the young guys.

Considering Franz and Paolo take a leap in their development. Could LeBron be our version of Chris Paul?

Magic has a bright future and everybody knows that. To me, it is not a bad idea for us to get Bronny. And Hopefully, LeBron James!

What are we imagining here, as big-James would need to be a sub behind Banchero and little-James would be a 3rd stringer on this Magic team.


Does anyone believe LBJ and his ego would accept that?



p.s. I guess ESPN has the Bulls as the 5th worst team in the NBA next year.

That would be nice and I would be in favor of this, but I don't see it happening because our pick will be lower and I think teams will jump in the idea of having LeBron for a cheap contract, but perhaps if we keep Bulls' pick for next year we have a chance.

Draft Express still trying their best to make him a top pick.

He's currently projected to go 53rd in the draft. He's a 6'2 SG.

We dont know how good he will look in college. We dont know where we will be picking. So its not really worth discussing right now. If it make sense then sure but we are a long ways from knowing anything right now.

I mean who knows where things will end up in 2024. If he's the best player on the board, of course I'd draft him. I don't care about his name or his family. I care if he can help the organization win.

But we're a long way off from knowing where he'll end up and where the Magic will end up ahead of the 2024 draft.

If, by your premise, we're drafting in the top 10 next year, the FO screwed up.

Certainly not something I'm planning my summer around if I'm the ORL FO...I've got plenty of shiny toys to play with as it is. Next summer, who knows?

Pretty simple. I don't project us being top 10 worst. There is a world where we make the playins as the 7th / 8th seed and lose I guess. But, iirc that doesn't get us down to top 10.

I’d pass on Bronny James for more reasons than I can count. Reason one is we don’t need Twilight Time Lebron coming in here throwing his weight around. You’re almost 40 bro, let the Lakers keep that headache. Bronny isn’t going to be his father, I’d rather stay away from the James clan and all the drama that comes with it. The Magic are on the right path in their rebuild.
You look confused...let me fill you in.

Bronny isn't even first round pick talent, let alone "potential top 10 pick".

Lebron's powers come from his 6'9-250 pounds superhuman body.
Bronny is 6'1 -180 pounds . Lebron at his age arived in nba being 6'9- 230.

He is one of Jordan kids. All hype based on name, no substance.
