Lakers Moving LeBron to the Starting Point Guard Position.

[Hiphoplives4eva]

Have you ever watched Danny Green play? He was a couple votes away from all defensive team this year.

Lakers overpaid.

From a strategy aspect with today's landscape; small forwards eat more on the floor than point guards, and the move around. For LeBron you are actually tire him out more doing that in the long run than just keeping him at the small. When they take on the Celts or Sixers who are the matchups then?

Man WHAT?

So you started off asking how Bron will guard little pgs, I say he wont he'll guard forwards even though he will be lead guard. Now you say no he's better guarding the point. What is this shyt, are you all just trolls?

Obviously the lineup adjusts for specific team matchups. Lakers are actually one of the few teams that can choose to go really big to matchup with Philly if they send their huge lineup out there

Simmons
Richardson
Tobias
Horford
Embiid

Bron
Green
Kuzma
AD
Boogie

You right but Faghot ass Marc Cuban was about to throw the bag at him

 

[Po pimp]

I thought LeBron said he wanted to play more off ball at this stage of his career?

Lakers overpaid.

What does that have to do with his actual talent and contribution?

How much they gave him is irrelevant cause they won't be players next summer and the 2020 class is trash. 2021 is when free agency gets poppin again which is why they're only handing out 2 year contracts to whoever they sign. Whether they gave him 15M a season or 20M a season, it makes no difference to them.

Trying to be condescending, and I been balling and looking at ball for over thirty years, and asking to please explain with no explanation. Please explain, and let me see what you see that I don't.

Playing what for 30 years? BASEball, nikka? HANDball, nikka?

No way you mean basketball

 

[Everythingg]

Yeah right. Did you know that Kyrie had a higher usage rate than Bron? Or is your hate that strong it dulls your senses?

You're too emotionally involved when you think a simple critique of a persons game is "hate"

And what system were they running when Kyrie had a higher usage rate? Oh yea, Bron ball where you stand at the top of the key and dribble dribble dribble till you score or get an assist. How does him having a higher usage rate matter?

Danny green will guard all the pgs. Kuzma will guard the best wing player. Lebron will play free safety and give up open 3s all games and blame cousins

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.

Replace Bradley with KCP and I agree.

 

[NoHalfWay]

nah he definitely does.....just feels more comfortable with the ball. In Miami he played off ball really well, and last season for the Lakers he made some nice plays off ball he just doesn't play like it often

Miami was one of the rare occasions he had to play off ball because Riley/Spoelstra weren’t having that shyt, they ran an offense in Miami and Bron wasn’t always happy with it.

LeBron has so many gifts & talent for his own good

Replace Bradley with KCP and I agree.

Nah, Bradley is more equipped to guard point guards, he has more quickness and is a in-your-jersey defender.

KCP is streaky and a chuck offensively, rather have him be a microwave type guy off the bench.
