Bronny James doesn't comment on the possible departure of LeBron from the Lakers: "I don't pay much attention to it"

The announcement of LeBron James's acceptance of the player option available in his contract with the Los Angeles Lakers came with controversy due to statements made by his agent Rich Paul, which seemed to leave the door open for his client's departure. Phrases like "we understand how difficult it is to win while preparing for the future" appeared to be a concession to Doncic as the team leader, and "he wants to make the most of what's left" sounded like an invitation to a possible farewell.

Nevertheless, for now, he continues, and his son Bronny James, also under contract with the Lakers, has addressed the matter. "In fact, one of my friends called asking where my dad is playing next season, what he's going to do because he saw something about my dad in the news," he explained on Wednesday. "I didn't see it. He called me, and I said, 'I have no idea what you're referring to.' I don't pay much attention to those things. There are a lot of things circulating that I don't pay attention to."

The young player also revealed that he hasn't discussed much with his father about the direction of the franchise or the possibility of LeBron staying or leaving Los Angeles. "We don't talk much about that," said Bronny. "I think when things like that come out, he just tells me not to worry, not even pay attention, and focus on what I have in front of me now. That's what will make me better and keep me focused. It's good that he tells me not to pay attention to those things."

"Obviously, being on the team, I think we're going to come back even better than last year," commented Bronny on Deandre Ayton's signing. "We just have to come here and train with a purpose, be ready to work every day, and prepared to get better day by day."
