Lakers trade idea sends LeBron, Bronny James to King’s former team in 6-player, 2-pick blockbuster

The trade rumors surrounding LeBron James have slowed a bit. But they don’t seem likely to fully stop as he enters the final year of his contract with the Los Angeles Lakers.

One attempt at putting together a LeBron trade idea comes fresh from Bleacher Report’s Zach Buckley, who figures if LeBron is moving, why not Bronny James, too?

Buckley pitches a hefty deal that moves James back to the Miami Heat.

These would be the terms:

  • Miami Heat receive: LeBron James, Bronny James and Dalton Knecht
  • Los Angeles Lakers receive: Andrew Wiggins, Terry Rozier, Jaime Jaquez Jr., a 2029 first-round pick and a 2030 first-round pick swap (top-three protected)

“The percentile chance of this coming to fruition may not be much, but it also doesn’t feel like a total zero,” writes Buckley.

It makes plenty of sense for the Heat. Why not take a run at the East title in an injury-trodden conference by acquiring an all-time great?

And the Lakers add a couple of picks and a couple of solid wings in Wiggins and Jaquez.

Sure, it isn’t super likely. But it’s fun to think about.
