What will Bronny James, the son of LeBron James, be paid by the Lakers?

Having been selected with the 55th overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, Bronny James formally joined the Los Angeles Lakers. In contrast to some of the league's best prospects, his NBA contract is anticipated to be rather standard despite his illustrious pedigree. Bronny James is set to sign a $7.9 million contract with the Lakers that is guaranteed for four years, with a team option for the fourth year, according to reports from Shams Charania of The Athletic.

Of this total, $5.4 million is guaranteed, and there will be a team option and a trading ban in place until December 15, 2025, during the fourth year. Bronny's contract details, which have an average yearly value of $1.975 million, also show a strong salary foundation for a late second-round selection. Over the four years of the contract, his salary increased gradually, culminating in a team option worth approximately $2.5 million in 2027–2028.
