Giglio: Sixers should 'absolutely' draft Bronny for better chance to get LeBron

Joe Giglio said on the latest episode of WIP Daily that the Philadelphia 76ers should "absolutely" try to draft Bronny James in order to have a better chance to sign LeBron James in free-agency.

Bronny James, 19, is expected to enter the NBA Draft after just one season at USC where he started six games averaging 4.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 2.1 assists in 19.4 minutes per game.

LeBron has previously publicly said that he wants to play with his son before retiring.

The Sixers have the 16th overall pick in this summer's NBA Draft, while the Lakers have the 17th overall pick.

ESPN's Bobby Marks called this offseason "the most important in franchise history" for the Sixers , who are set to have around $60 million in cap space to add to their two stars in Tyrese Maxey and Joel Embiid.

In the 2024 NBA Draft, Philadelphia currently has their own first-round pick and a second-round pick as well, from either Chicago or New Orleans. The Sixers also have two firsts in 2026, 2028, and 2029.

Morey and the Sixers reportedly inquired about trading for LeBron James before this year's deadline as well.
