Lakers move Bronny James’ early season roster

If you take your son to work, he’ll probably get the axe.

Following the Lakers’ upcoming road trip, which runs through Nov. 6, Bronny James will split his time between the Lakers’ active roster and the franchise’s G League affiliate, the South Bay Lakers, ESPN reported Friday.

History was made this week when Bronny and LeBron James became the first-ever father-son duo to share an NBA court.

But now, with that in the rearview mirror, Los Angeles is seemingly taking the long view.

In his three minutes of playing time during the Lakers’ 110-103 season-opening win over the Timberwolves on Tuesday night, Bronny missed both of his shot attempts and Los Angeles was outscored by five points.

The 20-year-old didn’t look overwhelmed at the moment, but he didn’t make any standout plays either.

In the South Bay, young James will likely get time to develop with real, meaningful minutes instead of languishing on the bench in Los Angeles.

For his part, Bronny has shown receptiveness to the idea of ​​bringing his talents to the South Bay.

“I just look forward to every basketball I play,” he told reporters in July while working with the association’s other new players in the Las Vegas Summer League. “It doesn’t matter what level I play at.”

If he pays his dues and continues to hone his craft, Bronny wouldn’t be the first second-round pick to work his way up into the stratosphere of superstars, with Knicks star Jalen Brunson being a recent example of a lower pick who blossoms into an MVP candidate.

“His job is to work hard and keep getting better, just like the rest of us,” LeBron told reporters in September, according to ESPN. “And we want to hold him accountable, and he’s going to hold us accountable. And when we all do that, we all become better, because we are all one team. We are a reflection of the South Bay; South Bay is a reflection of us.”
