Lebron is old.
This nikka should be an on court coach at this point. As big of a bonehead as Russ is, the biggest benefit Lebron can be of this team is using his time to be a good influence on Russ style of play. Teams are picking on him on defense even more now and he can't bulldoze his way to the cup like he used to consistently.
Unless they gonna trade Russ, they gonna have to rally and play around him. Bron wanted him as an insurance policy, as a stop gap for when he missed games but soon as he comes back Westbrook goes back to playing how he started with the Lakers, more passive, more in his head. When Bron is out you can see him sort of establishing a sort of rhythm that kinda disappears when Lebron comes back.
Sounds absurd to say trade AD for some defense and shooting but unless he's comitted to being there for the long haul...and it's really about trying to WIN NOW...
i think lebron don’t care if it’s not guaranteed he’s playing for a title this year
I personally think he’s just holding on until Bronny gets in the league.
this year might not even matter to lebron. He probably thinking about next season already
