What's Next for Bronny James After LeBron's Decision to Sign with the 76ers?
Rich Paul said Bronny James and LeBron James are not a package deal, and the Lakers had already guaranteed the 21-year-old guard's contract.
On Friday, July 24, 2026, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro proclaimed LeBron James Day as the 41-year-old joined the Philadelphia 76ers for his 24th season.
The Minnesota Timberwolves heavily recruited James, with Tim Connelly and Anthony Edwards personally engaging the star to chase a championship with their young team.
Central reported the Sixers were "not even in the picture, on the map, until Bob Myers traded for Jaylen Brown," shifting the roster appeal that prompted James's decision.
Agent Rich Paul clarified that James and his son Bronny James are "not a package deal," confirming no current plan for the younger player to join the 76ers.
Bronny James recently had his contract guaranteed by the Lakers, where he remains "well-liked" within the locker room despite assumptions he would follow his father to Philadelphia.
