Bob Myers hints he's in loop on Rich Paul's Bronny James strategy, denies to spill before 2024 draft: "He just told me"

LeBron James' son, Bronny James, has been one of the most widely talked about prospects of the 2024 NBA Draft. With round two underway on Thursday, there has been plenty of debate regarding where Bronny James will land. According to Bob Myers, he has been clued in on the pick. During the ESPN broadcast of the draft, Myers revealed Rich Paul informed him of some big news.

While the expectation is that he will be a late second-rounder, so far there has been little word on where he will go. There had been talk of the Golden State Warriors selecting Bronny James with the 52nd pick, however, Shams Charania has reported that the Warriors traded the pick to the OKC Thunder.

With the second round progressing, it won't be long until fans find out where Bronny James is going. In the meantime, Bob Myers has left fans with a teaser. During the ESPN broadcast of the draft, Myers revealed that Klutch founder Rich Paul has a plan.

Despite declining to go into specifics, it sounds as though Myers approves of whatever Rich Paul's plan is for Bronny James.

"Rich Paul has a plan, I can’t say the plan yet because he just told me, but he definitely has a plan and it’s a good plan.”

Looking at potential landing spots for Bronny James with round two of the draft underway

With round two of the NBA Draft underway, it's only a matter of time before we find out where Bronny James will land. The expectation is that Bronny will land in LA with the Lakers using their 55th pick on the second-generation hooper.

While there had previously been talk of another team selecting Bronny in order to lure LeBron James, those talks have since died off. In addition to the fact that James has made it clear his focus is no longer on teaming up with his son, other reports have indicated that the Lakers and James are finalizing a new contract.

Despite that, NBA vet Tim Legler has suggested that another team draft Bronny with the goal of leveraging a trade that would send him to LA. Of course, given that the Lakers are looking to contend for a title it seems unlikely that the Lakers would give up a valuable asset to land Bronny.

In regards to Rich Paul's plan teased by Bob Myers, there's no telling what the Klutch CEO has up his sleeve. While there had been talk of Bronny developing in the G League, Paul previously shut down those claims, making it clear that Bronny's sights are on developing and competing in the NBA.

As Shams Charania reported this week on The Pat McAfee Show, Rich Paul very well could have contacted teams to clue them in on his plan:

"It would not surprise me if at any point in the second round there's gonna be calls made to be like: 'Listen, don't draft him, he's got his spot already, let him continue to pass you by.'"

As we approach the Lakers' 55th pick, it will be interesting to see how things shake out.
