After a long, challenging campaign, the NBA regular-season is finally drawing to an end. The Cleveland Cavaliers, currently placed seventh in the Eastern Conference, will look to secure their spot in the play-in tournament. On the other hand, the LeBron James-led Los Angeles Lakers are on the brink of elimination.

While the Lakers were expected to play well this season, the team has struggled right from the beginning. With seven straight losses to their name, they no longer have a direct entry into the play-in tournament.

He added that despite it being a good idea, they cannot project anything James might or might not do. The Cavaliers have been working hard and are set up to win for a long time. Of course, Ohio loves James for what he has done.

Though his first move to the Miami Heat brought around a lot of hate, his return to his home state won them a title in 2016. Eventually, in 2018, James left for the Lakers. With the 2020 Championship being a highlight, many expected James to end his career with the team.

Additionally, Love also spoke about James’ son Bronny–a high probability choice once he is eligible.

“It’d be great to get Bronny over here too and then we’ll call it a day,” added Love

With Bronny James’ game being brought up time and again, his NBA debut has also been discussed. Fans have wondered about the father-son duo playing together, which can be a little difficult to pull off. However, if James continues to play, many expect them to play for one team, or at least at the same time.

Love, who is averaging 13.4 points this season, seems aware of this. If Bronny and James both play for the latter’s home team, it would truly be a fairytale ending for James.

Furthermore, James’ contract is currently valid through 2023. If he does want to play with this son, James will have to renew his contract.

Having said that, Bronny’s signing with a team is still a few years away. Do you think James and Bronny will really play together? Let us know in the comments below.
