“NBA teams that I talk to say they cannot get Bronny James into their building,” Givony said on ESPN’s NBA Today. “The sense among teams is that his agent, Rich Paul, does not want him on a two-way contract, and the range he’s going to be picked—the No. 40 to 58 range—that’s where two-way contracts are handed out. So it’s looking right now like Bronny is going to slide to No. 55 [to the Lakers].”
