LeBron James and Austin Reaves meet at golf course after offseason moves
LeBron James spent time with Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves and his son Bronny James at a golf course on Sunday, days after both players completed separate free-agent deals that will have them playing for different teams in the coming season.
James, the NBA's all-time leading scorer, signed a two-year, $8 million deal with the Philadelphia 76ers following a month-long free-agency process, according to the source.
Reaves, 28, signed a four-year, $180 million maximum contract with the Lakers, which the source describes as the richest contract ever signed by an undrafted player.
The group was filmed having a meal with Bobby Fairways, Joey Coldcuts, Fat Perez, and Binny the Jet from the Bob Does Sports YouTube channel. James' YouTube channel, which he launched earlier in the week, posted a short video featuring the group on the golf course.
The Lakers were sold by Mark Walter — described in the source as only 10 months into his ownership, though the source also states he purchased the team from the Buss family 18 months prior — to former Disney CEO Bob Iger and billionaire Josh Kushner for $12.5 billion.
The 2026-27 season will be Luka Doncic's first with the Lakers without James, according to the source, which describes Doncic as now the central figure of the franchise.
- The source does not state the purpose or agenda of the golf course meeting.
- The source does not confirm whether a collaboration between James and the Bob Does Sports channel is planned; the possibility is speculative language in the source.
- The source contradicts itself on the duration of Mark Walter's ownership, stating both '10 months' and '18 months' in different paragraphs without reconciling the discrepancy.
- The source does not state the specific terms or conditions of the Lakers' sale to Bob Iger and Josh Kushner.
- The source does not provide comment or response from James, Reaves, the Lakers, the 76ers, or the new ownership group.
