There have been many conflicting reports about what the Los Angeles Lakers plan to do with Bronny James.
There's certainly a scenario in which James could be sent wherever his father ends up, though it remains uncertain what will happen in that regard. I am uncertain whether it would even make sense for the Lakers to move him to that team, especially if they like him as a player, but one could argue it would be the right thing to do. At the same time, this is the NBA, and I can understand why some don't think there's really a right or wrong thing to do in this league.
According to the latest reports, however, there's a sense that James will end up with his father on his next team.
“Our last candidate has the most famous name of the bunch: Bronny James. His father, LeBron James, is obviously still a free agent. At least five teams are still openly pursuing him: the Cleveland Cavaliers, Miami Heat, Philadelphia 76ers, Golden State Warriors and Minnesota Timberwolves. Until the elder James signs, there will be assumptions that his son and former teammate eventually follows him to his next destination,” Sam Quinn wrote.
The one thing to watch out for here is obviously what teams can even take James back, as not everybody has the desire to add a player who might not play a whole lot, or even use up a roster spot.
However, if he were to end up with any of these teams and that were the deciding factor in all of this, I can see teams finding a way to get James on the roster.
