C'mon Cavs use the last first rounder you have until 2030 to bring Sr home!

I doubt he actually stays in it probably just getting evaluation etc and then will return to school.

Dumb. That's a wrap on his career if he actually enters.

Such a shame we may have never had a chance to see him develop of play in the tourney.

Can someone explain the eligibility thing? So if he doesn't find himself in an ideal draft position he can just go back to college?

Drafting Bronny gives you a chance at landing LeBron. Absolutely worth a first round pick, calculated decision by the James family.

Good for him. If Thanasis can be on an NBA roster so can Bronny. They’re about the same level.

His name is the only reason this is a story.

“Minor USC player enters transfer portal” wouldn’t be a headline.

Lebron is signaling that he’d like to retire a Laker. He’d like to play with his son, but that just makes me more inclined to think that if Bronny gets a shot it’ll be in LA. I don’t think Lebron is signing with whichever random team drafts Bronny.

I guess he could stay in the draft just so he can "play" a year with his dad but he is not really a NBA talent.

Dude is not ready.

If he doesn't play another year in college, his dad just gave him horrible advice.

Bronny entered everything , but the starting lineup was my favorite comment I saw.

The entering the draft/portal is a pretty common thing nowadays. Honestly it’s dumb not to do it this way. You can go through the entire draft process up until the draft essentially and make your decision.

My guess since he’s Bronny, he will be invited to the combine and all that, so why not go through this process?

Now with all that said, a player of his caliber with a different name wouldn’t be on anyone’s draft board. And I won’t be shocked if he does officially enter the draft and not take his name out.

I’m just clarifying for those that aren’t familiar with the process, entering the draft and portal at this time is pretty common even for guys that are 99% sure they’re entering the portal and won’t stay in the draft.

Why?
After season like this he should go to smaller school for bigger role.
He could go undrafted if he didnt have last name James.There is no chance for 1 round in million years
Pretty sure he can drop out like before draft.

I'm pretty sure there arent many people who think he's ready to play in the NBA. Thanks for repeating yourselves over and over. :wink:

As a few level minded people have said, this is more of a strategic move. This could just involve his father or it could just be a chance for evaluation.
