LeBron James opts out of Lakers contract two days after team drafts son Bronny, agent says

LeBron James has opted out of his deal with the Los Angeles Lakers, his agent, Rich Paul, told ESPN.

The decision, although expected, comes two days after the team selected his son, Bronny, with the 55th pick in the NBA Draft.

It is widely expected the NBA's all-time leading scorer will remain with the Lakers, though, and he could very well take a pay cut from the nearly $52 million he was set to make this season.
