I don't think it's fair to ask Kuz to do that. Lou Will is one of the best shot-creators in the league, he's still closing games for the Clips despite playing with two elite players.
Kuz can't even score off the dribble right now.

This is true.
Yea Bron went from a dominating record vs. KD...to KD beating him 8-1 the last two finals.
Why? KD barely had to break a sweat on that Warriors squad.
I think KD + Warriors squad is better than LeBron. That spacing, shooting, etc. just made a great player unstoppable.
However, yea watch him in OKC....nah breh.

Kuz gotta score 18 to 20 breh. It is what it is. I don't care how he get it done.
If he keeps this shooting up he's good for a solid 16-18. Vogel gotta get creative in how he uses Kuz cause sometimes I feel like he's just floating through the game. Lebron, Rondo, and AD soak up all the possessions. He's gotta design more plays for Kuz and empower him a little bit more.Kuz gotta score 18 to 20 breh. It is what it is.

I feel like Danny Green is underutilized too.. He should be getting more shots per game.

Horrible take, KAT is an awful defender and if you already have Kyrie/Bron/AD then why are you looking for more offence?
Kyrie gets tunnel vision a lot and dominates the ball too much, so I don't think he'd be the perfect fit.
Ideal would have been if he had signed with Philly and then they traded Simmons for Brogdon.
Brogdon
Reddikk
Butler
LeBron
Embiid
That lineup would have demolished teams last year even without the injuries.
Or if Cleveland had pulled off the "Kyrie and the pick for Bledsoe and PG13" trade that was supposedly ready to go, and the "Love for Butler" trade they were trying to sell the Bulls straight-up or as a three-way.

Offensive wings on opposing teams would be sitting on the bench crying by the end of the third.

Why? That's dumb, if Kuz isn't the most efficient scorer then why you want up piling up point totals? Let Kuz be efficient with his numbers and there are plenty of shooters to get the points on the board.
LeBron - 25
AD - 25
Kuz - 12
Green - 10
Bradley - 10
KCP - 10
Dwight - 10
Rondo - 5
Caruso - 5
McGee - 5
Dudley - 3
That's 120 points already right there, even assuming just 12 for Kuz and without AD or LeBron going off.

The lakers finally play some good teams in December( looking forward to the bucks matchup). It will be entertaining.
Gotta deal with ROY Ja tonight, we need to keep racking up wins against these lesser teams before the schedule get tough.

Nope KAT will space floor for bron ball and can be alpha that takes the big shots bron scared off along with kyrie
I'm assuming the roster getting tightened up in the playoffs. Daniels and Cook each averaging 15 min/game, that might be 0 in the playoffs so all the other role players getting more minutes.Breh you know in the playoffs those guys aint reaching those averages
Dudley might be DNP
Dwight doesn't average 10 NOW
There's no guarantee Bradley will give you 10
KCP at 10
I only gave Dudley 3 because he's a 10th man and the only forward off the bench other than Kuz, if he don't play then someone else gets those minutes and those 3.
Dwight doesn't average 10 now because he started the year as the backup, he and McGee both averaging 7. In the postseason Dwight is definitely getting more of McGee's minutes, plus the more comfortable he gets the more they're going to like to run a couple things a game for him, I have him bumping up to 10 and McGee dropping down to 5.
Bradley averaging 9 now in just 27/game, in the playoffs when the roster tightens he could easily play 32. Teams gonna be trying to double AD and Bron both with Green and Bradley out there in space, they're gonna get a ton of threes in the playoffs. All you're hoping from him is 35% or so and you're good.
KCP it all depends on how he goes. He's averaging 10/game now since he started playing well, either he's going to build and continue that, or he's gonna regress and someone else gets those points.
And notice I put AD and Bron at 25 each, which they can DEFINITELY surpass.
You're arguing a point here a point there when I can find those points other places easy enough. Point being there is PLENTY offense on this team without anyone needing Kuz to force shyt.
Yeah but that was a good role for him. He can score but he's an average shooter and plays poor defense, Lakers don't need him like that unless there are injuries or someone starts sucking it up.
