Both Parker and Bronny go way back. They attended Sierra Canyon School in Los Angeles, where Parker played softball and Bronny made his name on the basketball court. Their relationship, though private, became public during the 2024 Paris Olympics, when they were seen cheering on Team USA and LeBron James. It was the first of several shared moments that hinted at a budding romance.
Parker is the daughter of actors Dondré T.
Whitfield and Salli Richardson-Whitfield and is currently a student at Spelman College in Atlanta. Her presence during the James family's Hawaiian retreat signals how comfortable she has become around Bronny's inner circle.
Bronny's NBA debut in his father's team has been under constant scrutiny, but when given the chance, he showed his intent while being a standout in the G-League. Despite outside noise suggesting his Lakers spot was influenced by LeBron's presence, Bronny is staying grounded and using the offseason to reset.

NBA Trade Rumors: Los Angeles Lakers Predicted to Land 6-foot-7 NBA Champion to Form Big 3 with Luka and LeBron
OS LeBron James and Luka Doncic (Image via Getty) The Los Angeles Lakers have emerged as a possible landing spot for Boston Celtics forward Sam Hauser , a key bench shooter from the 2024 championship roster, according to Zach Kram of ESPN. With Boston president and general manager Brad Stevens dismantling core parts of the team's recent title-winning lineup to cut costs, multiple players - even role players like Hauser - could be available for trade. The Los Angeles Lakers, now featuring All-Star guard Luka Doncic , may see Hauser as a seamless fit given Doncic's effectiveness alongside elite three-point shooters. Boston's Salary-Shedding Moves Stevens' roster shake-up has been swift and calculated, aimed at avoiding the league's harsh luxury tax penalties - especially the repeater tax - in a transitional season without injured All-Star Jayson Tatum. Major moves so far include: Luka Doncic and LeBron James (Image via Jason Parkhurst-Imagn Images). • Kristaps Porzingis to Atlanta Hawks in a three-team deal with Brooklyn Nets • Boston received: Future second-round pick, Georges Niang • Later flipped Niang and two future second-rounders to Utah Jazz for rookie RJ Luis Jr. and an $8 million trade exception • Jrue Holiday to Portland Trail Blazers for Anfernee Simons • Simons brings scoring talent but questionable defensive fit • Waived point guard JD Davison, officially moving Boston below the second tax apron Why Sam Hauser Fits in the Los Angeles Lakers Kram's analysis points to Sam Hauser's profile as exactly what the Los Angeles Lakers could use. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 20 Pieces of Clothing Older Women should Avoid Learn More Undo Luka Doncic's game thrives with reliable floor spacers, particularly those deadly from the corners. 'The current supply of shooting in the NBA is so great that the skill set is generally available for cheap,' Kram said in his ESPN piece, noting players like Luke Kennard, Grayson Allen, and Hauser as attainable options.

Sam Hauser, who shot over 41% from deep in the regular season, fits that role perfectly and would likely come at a reasonable trade cost.

NBA Trade Rumors: Los Angeles Lakers Could Sign $121 Million Golden State Warriors Superstar; LeBron James Key Trade Asset?
LeBron James and Stephen Curry (Image via Getty) A new blockbuster mock trade scenario has surfaced, suggesting a massive shake-up for the Los Angeles Lakers that would see LeBron James and his son Bronny shipped to the Golden State Warriors in exchange for Jimmy Butler and a future first-round pick. The Proposed Trade between the Lakers and the Warriors Sports Illustrated's Dan Angell outlined the trade concept, explaining the Lakers' potential reasoning behind such a bold move. 'The Lakers really don't love the idea of taking on Jimmy Butler's contract, especially with LeBron's contract due to expire at the end of the 2025-26 season,' Angell wrote. 'They want to be free of LeBron's contract, but there's no way to do that before the end of 2026 without taking equal value back.' Under the proposal, the Lakers would: • Send LeBron James and Bronny James to the Golden State Warriors • Receive Jimmy Butler and a 2028 first-round pick in return Lakers-Warriors Trade Structure LeBron James is currently with the Los Angeles Lakers (Image via Getty Images) Team Receives Lakers Jimmy Butler, 2028 1st-round pick Warriors LeBron James, Bronny James Why the Los Angeles Lakers Would Consider It The idea centers on the Los Angeles Lakers beginning a post-LeBron era, potentially building around Luka Doncic in the future. The additional 2028 first-round pick would help stockpile assets for long-term roster construction. According to Angell, Butler would keep the Lakers competitive in the short term while providing strong defensive and offensive contributions despite being 36 years old. Key Reasons for Lakers' Interest: • Avoid long-term financial commitment to LeBron • Add future draft capital • Maintain playoff competitiveness with Butler • Transition toward a Luka Doncic-led core The Golden State Warriors' Side of the Deal The Golden State Warriors reportedly acquired Butler from the Miami Heat in early February, seeking a spark for a struggling team. His arrival delivered results, as Golden State finished with 48 regular-season wins and claimed the No. 7 seed after winning their Play-In game. Jimmy Butler's 2024-25 Postseason Impact Series/Stage Stats (per game) Western Conference Semifinals vs. Timberwolves 20.2 points, 7.4 rebounds, 5.6 assists Although Butler had quieter moments in the second round against Minnesota, his production came with Stephen Curry sidelined due to a Grade 1 calf strain. While LeBron James remains the superior talent and is five years younger than Butler, the hypothetical trade suggests the Los Angeles Lakers could still contend with Butler as their third star.
