Lakers Trade Idea Flips Lebron James, Bronny James to West Rival for $111 Million Star originally appeared on Athlon Sports. LeBron James opted into the final season of his two-year contract with the Los Angeles Lakers ahead of the official start of NBA free agency on Monday, which has created an interesting situation in L.A.

The Golden State Warriors can trade Jimmy Butler for LeBron James and Bronny James, and still keep Jonathan Kuminga.

LeBron opted-in to his $52.6 million player option on Sunday. Bronny is still under contract for two more seasons with the Lakers, with a club option after that. And with his pops coming back to L.A., Bronny should be, too.
