His usage rate will be higher than a ho in a middle eastern camel town

IMHO ...It will be easier for him. He just takes it to the top
of the key to setup the offense. Having some size and shooters on this team our inside/out game can do some damage especially if the 3's are falling.

LeBron and AD will be doing a hell of a lot of pick and rolls.

I feel bad for the big man that's gonna have to come out and guard LeBron at the point

Its still gonna be a forward. Im curious to see who guards him the most on the Clippers. They got no answer for AD, but PG with Kawhi, Kuzma and Bron are not gonna have a fun night. Thats when AD needs to play like a 1st team all nba player.

For sure. Imagine a point guard guarding LBJ all game! He better have 50pts that night! Lol

No doubt getting Danny Green was the biggest thing they got. He can be tremendous with Lebron and AD and all the attention that will be focused their way.

With Green in the lineup, that wont happen. Most likely a PG will be matched up on Green. The best perimiter defender on Bron, and whatever F or G is left, on Kuz. Kuz can have big nights bc of this. Now if we had Kawhi, the other teams PG would be forced to guard either Bron, Kuzma or Kawhi, lol. What couldve been...

Definitely have to put a forward on him. Kawhi can make things tougher on LBJ but make no mistake about it, if he wants 25+ he is getting it. He has done well in their head to heads:

He has done even better in his head to heads with PG:

Lakers will be a huge problem because of the fact that there just isn't any answer for AD or LBJ, especially now that LBJ's jumper and 3-ball is a lot more of a threat than it used to be.

And the key is to me is will LeBron use his weight advantage to put these guys in foul trouble. It's what I'd coach. If you are stupid enough to guard him with Kawhi or PG I'm looking to punish them and get them in foul trouble and the penalty. Bring it on

Absolutely. I love both Kawhi and PG as two way players but the fact that they both will have their hands full with LBJ and LAC don't have anyone at all who can do anything with AD is a problem. Teams love the small ball line up and the Lakers now have a team that can consistently exploit that

Its not like Lebron hasn't already hit daggers and game winners over these two.






Looks like someone is on excellent diet.

This is probably his last shot at getting a multi year big contract, He's giving it all he has judging by the new look body

Hopefully he stays healthy. Pretty excited about him.
