For years, there has been rumblings that LeBron would want to play with Bronny in the NBA.

However, Rich Paul told ESPN’s Jonathan Givony that they are not a package deal.

Via Givony on June 19: “Rich Paul also says that there is no package deal option for LeBron and Bronny with the Suns or Lakers:

“The Lakers can draft Bronny, and LeBron doesn’t re-sign. LeBron is also not going to Phoenix for a minimum deal. We can squash that now.””

LeBron is coming off his sixth season with the Los Angeles Lakers.

He averaged 25.7 points, 7.3 rebounds, 8.3 assists and 1.3 steals per contest while shooting 54.0% from the field and 41.0% from the three-point range in 71 games.

This summer, James can become a free agent if he declines his $51.4 million player option.
