LeBron James stands as the most celebrated basketball player in the league. He secures an esteemed position in championships, MVPs, dominance, all-time lists, and many more. Yet, his ultimate aspiration eclipses all others: to play alongside his son, Bronny James, in the NBA. Despite the rarity of such an occurrence, fans and even NBA athletes firmly believe that James will pave the way for his cherished dream. However, there might be an unforeseen twist to the assumptions fans might be making.

The prevailing belief among fans is that LeBron and Bronny might grace the court donning the purple and gold. However, recent events indicate that the Miami Heat are eyeing Bronny for their future. Adding a twist to the narrative, LeBron James has hinted that he will align himself with the team that signs Bronny, potentially setting the stage for a reunion with the Miami Heat.

Can the Miami Heat trade for LeBron James?

Bill Simmons has proposed a trade scenario that would see LeBron James going back to the Miami Heat after nearly 10 years. Furthermore, his trade also reunited Gabe Vincent with his former team. In exchange, the Los Angeles Lakers would receive a package comprising multiple role players, including Kyle Lowry and Duncan Robinson, with the potential addition of Nikola Jovic and a future first-round pick, as mentioned on his podcast.

While Simmons presents this trade idea, the chances of the Lakers parting ways with LeBron James are slim; especially for a package of role players. The hypothetical deal, if it were to happen, could potentially elevate the Miami Heat to favorites for an NBA Finals victory. However, given the perceived lack of star power in the proposed trade, the likelihood of such a transaction occurring in its current form appears highly improbable.

There might be a workaround for Bronny and LeBron

Currently showcasing his skills with the USC Trojans, Bronny James, as a freshman, is averaging 7.5 points on 50% shooting. Despite the proposed trade and the deep roots of the James family in Los Angeles, the possibility of Miami acquiring James appears dim.

However, should James explicitly express his desire for a trade from the Lakers and signal a strong inclination to relocate, the dynamics might shift. James is currently under a two-year extension with the Lakers that ties him to the team until 2025. However, he holds a player option for the year 2024.
