The Chicago Bulls are one day from draft day and odds are that while they have a solid strategy in place, rapper Lil Durk is offering some strategic (and financial) assistance, announcing that he would pay LeBron and son Bronny James‘ salaries if they were to join the Bulls franchise.
Taking to Instagram, Chicago native Lil Durk shared an exchange between him and LeBron that went as follows:
“You and Bronny come to Chicago s— I’ll pay you if I got to,” tagging the Chicago Bulls’ Instagram account and saying: “Idc (I don’t care) if I got to go half @chicagobulls it’s time lol.”
While it doesn’t appear that LeBron has much reason to leave the Lakers franchise (and the maximum-paying contract that he is receiving), a new head coach (JJ Redick) and the placement of his son Bronny (who relinquished his NCAA eligibility to enter the NBA draft) may impact his plans for the upcoming season. The Bulls organization has not expressed public interest in either James joining their organization either.
Additionally, despite what Durk has in enthusiasm, he may lack in funding. Reports place Durk’s current net worth at $8 million, which would make it difficult to pay down the tab on James’ eligible extension contract (which is worth $162 million).
As for Durk, a Chicago fan can still dream- and with the recent shakeup of a trade involving Alex Caruso for Josh Giddey (with more moves likely to come soon), Durk might just see a solid season for his hometown franchise.The post Lil Durk Jokes About Paying LeBron, Bronny’s Salaries if they Join the Bulls first appeared on The Source.The post Lil Durk Jokes About Paying LeBron, Bronny’s Salaries if they Join the Bulls appeared first on The Source.
