They will most likely do this

Bron
Bradley
Green
AD
Cousins

w/ Kuz as 6th man for bench scoring (could swap Cousins for Kuz too).

Bradley or Green can guard the opposing SG/PG while Bron guards the forwards.

I don't know how people can't figure this out.

it absolutely works if you have this lineup w/ bradley and green being able to switch and handle defensive assignments on guards but the reason ppl are questioning it is another lineup I’ve seen floating around online is—

bron
green
kuz
AD
cousins

bron playing PG would make that lineup a liability on D...if they’re going w/ the lineup you suggested tho then yes it will absolutely work

It was once a time he defended guys like Tony Parker and Derrick Rose. There is no way 35 year old 6’8 250 pound LeBron is defending modern PG’s.

Kuz is a defensive liability at both forward spots but I think he’s better at the 4.

The best line-up in my opinion is...

C Anthony Davis
F Kyle Kuzma
F Danny Green
G Avery Bradley
G LeBron James

LeBron plays point on offense and on defense defends non-shooting wings and small ball 4’s and roams in the zone where he still has the athleticism to trap and make some explosive plays in the weak side and passing lanes.

Bradley defends point guards his expertise is ball pressure and hounding 94-feet. Green gets put on the best perimeter scorer. Kuz is going to have to battle inside. AD with less offensive burden needs to focus on being a DPoY like KG did in Boston. The floor should be nice and spaced with this line-up for offense.

I keep hearing ppl say AD doesn’t like playing center but that would be a damn good starting 5 tho
