The Los Angeles Lakers legend LeBron James once stated his wish to share court with his eldest son, Bronny James, who is expected to be picked in the 2024 NBA Draft. Meanwhile, though there is no clue of either LeBron or his son joining the Chicago Bulls, Chicago native rapper Lil Durk has made a stunning plan for the organization.
In a conversation with the Lakers star, the Chicago rapper playfully texted James, attempting to entice the first active father-son duo in NBA history to Chicago.
“You and Bronny come to Chicago s— I’ll pay you if I got to,” he wrote.
Though Durk did not reveal what James’ response was, he shared a screenshot of their message on his Instagram story. The rapper captioned the post, “Idc (I don’t care) if I got to go half @chicagobulls it’s time lol.”
Interestingly, Durk even tagged the Chicago Bulls’ Instagram account in his story. But there’s no hint at this point in the Bulls’ draft plans that they’re eying to draft LeBron’s son.

They quickly took a jab at both the Bulls and Durk, stating Durk and Chicago team’s inability to meet the financial demands of the Lakers star.
Some fans even mocked Durk, suggesting that such a deal wouldn’t be financially beneficial for him.
The Bulls recently gained the spotlight with the shakeup of a trade involving Alex Caruso for Josh Giddey, garnering a heartfelt message from Giddey. Nevertheless, the Lakers team is not so inconsiderate as to entertain Durk by giving the Bulls a chance to grab their super star.
