Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James has four days to accept or decline his player option, meaning everyone is putting in their last-minute recruiting attempts.

Famous rapper Lil Durk is among those hoping to lure James and his son, Bronny, away from Los Angeles. He recently posted messages between him and James in which Durk offered to pay the 39-year-old to join his hometown Chicago Bulls.

"you and bronny come to Chicago bulls shid ill pay you if I got to," Durk wrote. James had not yet responded to the message at the time of his post.

The Bulls are low on the list of rumored destinations for James, trailing behind the Philadelphia 76ers, New York Knicks, and Dallas Mavericks. Chicago also does not own a second round in the 2024 NBA Draft, meaning their odds of landing the former USC guard are slim to none.
