LeBron James’ message to all 30 teams Saturday was clear: If you want me, draft Bronny. “My last year will be played with my son,” James said. “Wherever Bronny is at, that’s where I’ll be. I would do whatever it takes to play with my son for one year. It’s not about the money at that point.”

What is a one year of a 40-year-old LeBron for the mid-level or minimum worth in draft terms?
For the right team, I think the answer is probably a mid-lottery pick. LeBron should still be a plus-starter at that point. – 4:54 PM

Well, @Jason Lloyd got something interesting from LeBron today – in Cleveland, of course, during All-Star Weekend – and only in @TheAthletic:
Would he consider a third go-round with the Cavs?
“The door’s not closed on that,” James said.

Been thinking about how if LeBron didn’t take take as much care of his body as he has, age 37 in Cleveland for the All-Star Game would’ve had serious farewell vibes. Instead, he’s still chugging along as one of the best in the game with more to come.
Beyond special. – 10:57 AM

More on this storyline
“I think Koby and those guys have done an unbelievable job drafting and making trades,” James said. “I think big fella (Allen), that acquisition was amazing for them to make that trade. Obviously Darius Garland is a big-time player. And I think the role that Kevin (Love) is playing right now has kind of uplifted those young guys, seeing a veteran that could sacrifice, a champion that’s won a championship, all the things that he’s done, to come off the bench and play this role. I am not surprised by anything that they’re doing right now.” -via The Athletic / February 19, 2022
