76ers Weigh Bronny James Trade After LeBron Signs, Eyeing $2.3 Million Guard

Summary
Bronny James has emerged as a possible 76ers trade target after LeBron James left the Lakers for Philadelphia on a low-cost free-agent deal.
A workable framework would send Dalen Terry or Jabari Walker plus a second-round pick to the Lakers for the 21-year-old guard, who is due $2.3 million in 2026-27.
Philadelphia could also absorb Bronny into a $2.3 million trade exception, but any deal would still require roster trimming and likely waiving Terry or Walker to stay below the first apron hard cap.
For the Lakers, moving Bronny could turn the former No. 55 pick into a tangible asset, though he showed progress in 2025-26 by shooting 50.5% overall and 37.6% from 3 in his second season.
Rich Paul has already said Bronny and LeBron are not a package deal, leaving the idea as cap-driven trade speculation rather than an expected reunion.
