What a dream situation as a Miami Heat fan.
The four years LeBron James spent with the Miami Heat were historic — four consecutive trips to the NBA Finals, two NBA championships (that were back-to-back). It was a magical time as a son of the city. Well, it appears another James could potentially be a member of the Heat in the near future: Bronny.
Although he’s in the middle of his freshman season at USC, Miami is already going to Trojan’s games to scout Bronny and are keeping notes on him, according to NBA insider Brian Windhorst.

Playing just a total of seven games so far for USC, Bronny has tallied a stat line of 6.7 points-per-game (hitting almost 50% of his shots), 2.3 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.3 steals. He’s also at the 27.3% mark from behind the three-point line. Only playing an average of 17.3 minutes-per-game, Bronny also hasn’t started for the Trojans, so his numbers are certainly interesting … and something I wouldn’t mind seeing progress with my Miami Heat.
WATCH:
Brian Windhorst says that if you’re a good player in LA, the Heat will find you:
“This guy that I know … sent me a video of Bronny [James] warming up, and right behind him in the first row taking notes is Adam Simon. The Heat are out there doing it.”https://t.co/n4Jb4KCHQV pic.twitter.com/4hbMXn7w5K

The Miami Heat are already scouting Bronny James.
Are we in for ‘The Decision 2.0’? 👀

After these glorious four years …
I’d take Bronny James in a heartbeat, because it could also mean the return of LeBron James to the Miami Heat.
LeBron has publicly said on multiple occasions he wants to play with his son in the league, and if Miami lands Bronny and has him locked up for seven years (rookie contract), that completely opens up the possibility of “The King” returning to his old throne in the Trey. And wouldn’t that be a beautiful thing?
As a Heat fan, I’d welcome him back to the city with open arms. And we should totally have another “so Miami” party:
LeBron, Bronny … hope to see you boys in the 305 soon.
