Bronny is getting as much hate as he is getting love but he’s handling it like a pro! Major kudos to @LeBron James Savanna and the rest of the fam for having them prepared. Real Talk! pic.twitter.com/8uIfsH9o0e – 4:31 PM

No LeBron tonight in Denver.
Nuggets are 16-3 at home.
Those two things are probably correlated. – 4:14 PM

A stat I find fascinating: Cleaning the Glass says LeBron and Russ have a plus-7.5 net rating on the court together this season, which is good.
If you filter those minutes to just the 221 possessions with Thomas Bryant on the floor as well, the net rating jumps to plus-19.4. – 5:26 PM

The notion of any NBA team fortunate enough to employ LeBron James, the most dominant player of the past 20 years, considering peddling his services in a trade sounds ludicrous. But if circumstances around James’ current team, the Lakers, continue on their current path, that could be the next step for James. According to executives around the league, multiple teams are at least preparing for the possibility that James will seek to force a trade this summer as he, having just turned 38, looks to finish his career in a winning environment. And unlike this past offseason, in which teams were blindsided by the trade demand lodged by star forward Kevin Durant on the eve of free agency, front offices around the NBA will be prepared for James’ potential move. -via Heavy.com / January 9, 2023
