Lakers Rumors: Bronny James Trade to 76ers?
11 Aug
Summary
- A mock trade suggests Bronny James could join his father on the 76ers.
- The proposed deal would send Kris Dunn to the Lakers.
- Dunn is a defensive stopper with one year left on his contract.
Persistent rumors this summer suggest the Los Angeles Lakers may trade Bronny James, potentially to reunite him with his father, LeBron James. Despite reports indicating the Lakers value the younger James, his limited improvement and roster utility fuel speculation.
A recent three-team mock trade proposed by NBABase has gained traction. This hypothetical deal would send Bronny James to the Philadelphia 76ers, where his father currently plays. The Lakers would reportedly receive veteran guard Kris Dunn and a 2031 second-round draft pick in exchange.
Dunn, a 32-year-old guard, is recognized for his defensive capabilities and averages 7.6 points and 3.9 assists per game. He has one year remaining on his contract, with a salary of $5.68 million. Dunn's acquisition could bolster the Lakers' defense, though his playing time might depend on roster adjustments.
