Bronny James could follow LeBron to 76ers — here’s what a trade would look like - New York Post

What the report says

The New York Post reported that LeBron James’ free-agency move from the Los Angeles Lakers to the Philadelphia 76ers on a low-cost deal has raised a follow-up question around his son, Lakers guard Bronny James. The article, published July 24, focused on whether Philadelphia might try to acquire Bronny so he could again be on the same roster as his father, while stressing that LeBron’s departure from Los Angeles does not automatically mean Bronny will follow.

According to the Post’s trade discussion, one possible structure would send Bronny to Philadelphia in exchange for either Dalen Terry or Jabari Walker plus a second-round pick. The article noted Bronny’s listed 2026-27 salary of $2.3 million, compared with Terry’s non-guaranteed $2.6 million salary and Walker’s $2.6 million figure, of which $250,000 is guaranteed. The Post also said the 76ers could use a $2.3 million trade exception from the Eric Gordon deal, but would still need to manage roster and apron constraints to add both Jameses.

The piece framed the Lakers’ side as potentially gaining a modest draft asset while keeping roster and salary flexibility. It also reviewed Bronny’s development since being selected No. 55 out of USC in 2024, including time with the Lakers’ G League affiliate and improved shooting indicators in his second season.

The report is significant mainly as roster speculation around a major free-agency move. Any Bronny trade would depend on both teams’ cap position, roster priorities and willingness to make a deal; the Post did not report that an agreement had been reached.
