Bronny James’ surprising contract details revealed after LeBron’s $104 million Lakers deal
NY Post
Lakers rookie Bronny James signed a fully guaranteed contract with the team on Wednesday, according to ESPN, the same day his father, LeBron, also agreed to a massive $104 million extension with Los Angeles.
Bronny, 19, signed a four-year, $7.9 million contract worth under $1.2 million in the first year, escalating each year after.
The final year of his contract is a $2.48 million team option for the 2027-28 season.
This contract is a stark difference to what the No. 55 pick in the 2023 NBA Draft pick, Isaiah Wong, signed with the Pacers.
Wong signed a two-way contract worth $559,782, but under new CBA rules, it is only partially guaranteed if the player secures a regular-season roster spot.
The Pacers’ No. 55 pick from 2023 did not play a minute in the NBA last season and is not on the Pacers’ summer league roster, so he will likely be a free agent.
