Bronny James Rumors: Jazz Eye LeBron's Son amid Lakers, Knicks, Cavs NBA Draft Buzz

The Utah Jazz are reportedly interested in selecting Bronny James with the 32nd overall pick in the upcoming NBA draft, according to Krysten Peek of Yahoo Sports.

"The Jazz have expressed interest in bringing Bronny in for an individual workout and could be interested in him with the 32nd pick, sources told Yahoo Sports," Peek reported. "The franchise has been patiently rebuilding behind the leadership of Danny Ainge, and bringing in Bronny with the hopes of luring a superstar like LeBron could be the jump owner Ryan Smith is looking for to add a spark to the Jazz."

LeBron James has a player option for 2024-25 that he can decline to become a free agent. In theory, James could sign with the team that drafts Bronny and play on the same franchise as his son.

The latest FanDuel Sportsbook odds have the Lakers as the clear favorites at +160 odds ($100 bet to win $160) to select James. The New York Knicks, Miami Heat, Cleveland Cavaliers, Philadelphia 76ers, Oklahoma City Thunder and Dallas Mavericks are all a distant second at +1700.

James has participated at the NBA Combine in Chicago this week. He notably scored 13 points for his team in a 90-83 scrimmage win on Wednesday.

It was a marked improvement from a Tuesday performance (four points and four rebounds), and numerous analysts were impressed with his efforts, such as ex-NBA star Jamal Crawford and Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times.

We'll see how teams feel soon enough with the draft set for June 26 and June 27. For now, though, James has his sights set on playing in the NBA, not necessarily suit up alongside his father.

That's still a possibility, of course, although the elder James has made it clear that the goal is to share the court with his son, not necessarily on the same team. If (and in reality when) Bronny steps foot on the NBA court, it will mark the first time that a father and son have been active NBA players simultaneously.
