Lil Durk is not the GM or owner of the Chicago Bulls.
However, he's made a godfather offer to get LeBron James to play on his favorite team.
Smurk says he'd be willing to pay half of the 39-year-old's salary if the free agent signs with Chicago.

He'll also pay half the salary of King James' much less talented heir, Bronny James.
LeBron opted out of a $51 million payday for 24-25 when he declined his player option with the Lakers. So he'd need at least that on a two-year deal, which would be over $50 million from Durk's pocket.
Add about another $4 million for Bronny's rookie scale deal.
The good news for Durk and his bank account is his flex is probably moot.
Now that the Lakers have hired LeBron's podcast bro, JJ Redick, as coach, it's highly likely that James will stay in LA.
