The LA Lakers are off to a bright start in their offseason quest to become a better team. The hiring of head coach Darvin Ham seems like a positive move, according to many around the NBA. His interviews have only elevated L.A.'s hopes of achieving success next campaign.
Meanwhile, LeBron James continues to lead the hottest storylines. The four-time NBA MVP has expressed his desire to own a team in the league soon.
Let's look at all the top stories regarding the LA Lakers below.
Alex Caruso says LeBron James might be able to play with both of his sons
LeBron James could become the first NBA dad to play with his son in the NBA. Bronny James, 17, is eligible for the draft in 2024. LeBron will be close to turning 40 that year when the season starts.
LBJ's former LA Lakers teammate Alex Caruso believes with the way James is going, he could also play with his younger son, Bryce James.
Bryce is 14 years old and is still seven years away from playing in the NBA. Here's what Caruso said about LeBron during a recent appearance on "The Pat McAfee Show":
"Yeah, that would be cool. Well, you forget he's got a couple of sons, and the way he's going, he might be able to play with both of them. The dude is a freak, man. He's an animal. He figured it out. Whatever the code is, whatever the health and wellness."
