Chicago rapper Lil Durk offers to pay LeBron's salary if he joins Bulls

Rapper Lil Durk wants to see LeBron James in a Chicago Bulls uniform so bad that he's willing to help fund the move himself.

Durk, a Chicago native, posted a screenshot on his Instagram story Tuesday of a message he sent to the Los Angeles Lakers star offering to pay his salary if he and eldest son Bronny join the Bulls.

James has yet to commit to returning to the Lakers next season, but the team is reportedly committed to re-signing the 39-year-old and is willing to offer him a three-year max deal. James has until June 29 to accept or decline his $51.4-million player option.

While James has previously expressed interest in teaming up with Bronny in the NBA, his agent, Rich Paul, said there's no guarantee that will happen and that James is now "off this idea" of having to play with his son.
