A King and an Empire: The Official GOAT franchise Boss Angeles Lakers 2018-19 season

[G-Zeus]

It just reminds me too much of Wade starting with the Cavs and BI starting at SG for the Lakers last year.

Its just not good roster balance.

Why trot this out/fail...and then have to go through adjustments that could have been avoided.

Only way it makes sense is if KCP or Bradley are starting. Since neither are true pgs...then yea LeBron can be the defacto. However, him bringing the ball up constantly would be a terrible idea as well. Slows the offense down even more and tires Bron out as well.

no no no..

Wade starting created the old miami heat problem.. floor not stretched..
BI starting as a 2 guard created the same problem...
LBJ starting as a PG is basically saying you will get the ball a lot more... but they can still have tons of shooters on the floor.
if Kuz is not working..they can put Bradley, KCP or daniels ...heck.. i exect BRadely or KCP to take the spot as they can defend opposing PG

Bron has essentially been a point guard in many respects his whole career.

 

[G-Zeus]

we'll see breh.....sounds to me like he'll be carrying a huge load n/h and the team might not be able to function when he's on the bench

only if you forget you have AD on the team...remember lbj likes to pass... and the players left all love to run... that was BI's main issue.. dude hated standing in the corner...he hated running... wanted to go one on one with his defender....

to me.. seems lbj might really average 10+ assist a game

My thing is WHY start Kuz and FAIL only to go back to something they should have done from the get go.

Unless Kuz dramatically improves his shooting and defense its just a bad move. Putting Bron at PG AND Kuz starting is not ideal.

Who is guarding the SG's going off of screens? LeBron?
Who is guarding all the elite pgs? Kuz or LeBron?

KCP (forcing him to earn his $) or Bradley should be starting. Kuz needs to come off the bench.

 

[Da_Eggman]

Positions are meaningless

 

[Regular_P]

LeBron's been a point guard his entire career. Doesn't mean they're not starting two regular guards with him.

the kid is alway running...

your right.. like they did with BI it will look weak as shyt until they decide to bring proper defense in..

 

[The_Unchosen_One]

hopefully miami gets him.

The picks OKC got from the clippers include 2 of Miami's 1sts in 2021 and 2023

No way they would trade westbrook to the Heat and fukk up the picks they acquired

 

[DosCadenaz]

Shout out to breh that said Magic Bronson!

 

[Hater]

If they start Kuzma Please no.. This dude gotta accept that 6th man role. Worst defensive player in the league

 

[The_Unchosen_One]

I wonder if this means Kuzma is starting

Lebron
Green
Kuzma
AD
Boogie

 

[IGSaint12]

Lebron
KCP
Green
Kuz
AD

Is what I’m hoping for

Yeah, this is our ideal lineup. All shooters around AD so he can go to work in the post or elbow. Cousins should be our backup center and then you put shooters around him. Mcgee can be third string center when AD or Cousins gets injured and that will happen.

 

[Lakerman0834]

Lebron
Green
Kuzma
AD
Boogie

naw kuz needs to come off the bench. Hell get torched by Sf in this league

 

[Hater]

Laker stan Cook

 

[Dr. Narcisse]

Yea I don't like Kuz starting because you've increased LeBron's ballhandling duties and are forcing either him or Kuz to guard.....guards. Thats gonna either run LeBron ragged or watch Kuz get torched.

Then again maybe its because they plan on starting AD at Center. Only way Kuz starting makes sense.

Bron at PG makes sense if Cousins is starting as well because he's an excellent passer.

So we'll see.
