Lakers Moving LeBron to the Starting Point Guard Position.

[newworldafro]

Russell Westbrook at PG would be sick, but they ain't got that kinda money for someone his caliber.

 

[DJ Paul's Arm]

Why do they need him at point if they got Rondo and Avery Bradley now

Lakers trying to run Bron Ball. The only problem is he's old and his mindset is becoming the next John Singleton (RIP)

 

[qashif]

LePlayerCoach gonna play whatever position he wants to play

 

[MostReal]

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

It's a lie like it always is
Bron Ball will always be run because that's the way he stat pads

 

[JordanwiththeWiz]

Y’all nikkas dumb af, Bron is in the top 10 of all-time assist list for a reason. nikkas in here talking about he got Rondo and Avery Bradley on his team why he need to play point. Avery Bradley average 1.8 assist for his career. I’m starting to believe y’all don’t watch basketball, y’all just sit in here pushing tired ass narratives y’all hear on these sports talk shows.

 

[O.T.I.S.]

No one cares who you are. You're another stupid bytch who says dumb shyt. Shut the fukk up.

Says the fakkit cac-pedo thats been texting me all day in this thread, sending DM’s and negs all night, etc.

Its like 6am in the eastcoast pedo and you still sending me messages but “nO oNE cArEs wHo yUO aRe.”

Go to sleep dog fukker

Ingram and Ball didn't even get a full season with Lebron and the off the court politics tainted the last 1/3 of the season when lebron came back from injury. No point there.

Saying Bosh and Love regressed shows you don't even understand the game. They didn't regress, they just traded being the go-to men on mediocre teams putting up inflated stats to being role players on championship teams who had role player stats. Neither Bosh or Love had actually won a playoff series until playing with Lebron. This was a laughably stupid "point".

Kyrie had led the cavs to 33 wins the year before lebron came back, but he was on the come up huh? Terrible posting. As if kyrie telling the world he had to apologize to lebron for questioning his leadership didn't tell you what was up.

Man you can come with all the excuses you want, but no one has gotten better under Lebron. Pau Gasol, Andrew Bynum, and Lamar Odom got better under Kobe. Pippen got better under Jordan. Ginobli, Tony Parker, and Kawhi got better under Duncan? You cant even name one good player that got better under Lebron

And bosh/love were relegated to being spot up shooters. They weren’t even allowed to regularly be themselves. Yea I call that regression. On the flip side Pau went to PA and still got to be Pau. They didn’t stand him on he 3pt line so that Kobe could get his..

By the way, Kyrie missed the playoffs his first 3 years while Lebron missed his first 3. Huge difference right?

Yet Kyrie took more shots per game than lebron did. We all kyrie is a spot up stationary shooter. This is just clown posting. If you cant tell the difference between harden-Westbrook and lebron than you just don't even understand the game.

Irrelevant who took more shots. That means that Lebron shared with someone else to do lebron ball just as Harden shared with CP3 two years ago. It changes nothing about the only style he can play in. Or the only style he’s willing to play in which is one on one so he can score or get an assist. It’s the same way Harden and Westbrook play EXCEPT Lebron is better and more efficient at it

Mo Williams made his only all-star appearance after he joined LeBron. Kyrie had the best seasons of his career with LeBron and all his postseason success came with LeBron, he talks about playing with LeBron wistfully now. Bosh and Wade both had the best-shooting seasons of their career with LeBron even though they had fewer attempts cause they were the #2 and #3 options, Bosh added a three and a defensive presence to his game. JR Smith, TT, Shump, Delly, Mosgov all got big contracts due to their increased production playing alongside Bron. Shane Battier, Ray Allen, Kyle Korver, James Jones, Chris Anderson, Mike Miller, Rashard Lewis, Richard Jefferson, Channing Frye, Jose Calderon and Jeff Green all extended their career and looked good doing it with Bron. Drew Gooden, Delonte West, Mario Chalmers, Norris Cole, Boobie Gibson, Sasha Pavlovic, JJ Hickson, and Joel Anthony all looked their best with Bron.

And bosh/love were relegated to being spot up shooters. They weren’t even allowed to regularly be themselves. Yea I call that regression. On the flip side Pau went to PA and still got to be Pau. They didn’t stand him on he 3pt line so that Kobe could get his.

You don't understand the difference between a 2nd option and a 3rd option. What happened to Ron Artest when he went to the Lakers with Kobe? What happened to Dwight Howard? You had Karl Malone and Gary Payton as 20ppg scorers the season before they joined Kobe, what happened?

Pau was a 2nd option on the Lakers. A high-volume 2nd-option can work just fine with a star - look at Wade, look at Kyrie. It's stupid to compare 2nd options to 3rd options when the exact same thing happened to 3rd options on the Kobe Lakers.

Especially dumb because Pau did drop in production when he joined the Lakers and even Shaq suffered having to play alongside Kobe. Kobe never let another player on his team shoot or handle the ball nearly as much as LeBron let Wade and Kyrie do it.

By the way, Kyrie missed the playoffs his first 3 years while Lebron missed his first 3. Huge difference right?

LeBron brought the Cavs from 17 wins without him to a 42-40 winning record by his 2nd season. They were at 50-32 in his 3rd season and took the champ Pistons to 7 in the ECSF. So you lied.

Irrelevant who took more shots. That means that Lebron shared with someone else to do lebron ball just as Harden shared with CP3 two years ago. It changes nothing about the only style he can play in. Or the only style he’s willing to play in which is one on one so he can score or get an assist. It’s the same way Harden and Westbrook play EXCEPT Lebron is better and more efficient at it

You have to be completely clueless to claim that. It's not at all how LeBron played in Miami - there was a ton of ball movement there. And LeBron had the ball less than Kyrie in Cleveland. And LeBron was 78th in the league in average time of possession last year.

You just exposed yourself as knowing nothing except what you pick up from Coli hot takes.

Wonder if he’s going to try and lose weight this summer.

I'm hoping around 15 to 20

 

[Kings County]

Russell Wilson at PG would be sick, but they ain't got that kinda money for someone his caliber.

kevin love took the same amount of threes with Minnesota.. the difference.. is.. they didnt let him post up as much but its more because he got exposed more than anything... when he went to a team that mattered and defense showed up against him..he shrunk.. was getting blocked, stripped..

without lebron he played the same in cleveland... being a spot up shooter is his best value cuz he sucks.

 

[newworldafro]

the QB?

Westbrook

I thought Kyrie, Kuzma and Ingram progressed under Bron. Ingram and Bron were great together the last half of the season. Kuz started off on fire with Bron but lost his shot for a while near the end. Kyrie obviously played fantastic '14-'16, his playoff/finals games speak for themselves. Bron hasn't really played with young players like that since he went to Miami though, last year was the first year with a team of youngins and I believe they played well when they were healthy together. I agree that his playing style can stifle talent because he dominates the ball but I think that's a bit overstated.
"same way Harden and Westbrook play EXCEPT Lebron is better and more efficient at it" <- is this a bad thing if the teams are winning rings?
Its rare a star player joins as a third option and eats like like they once did. Especially if they have championship aspirations. Some examples:
Mark Aguirre
Dallas '88-'89 21.7ppg
traded to Bad Boys
Pistons '88-'89 15.7ppg won championship
Pistons '89-'90 14.1ppg won championship
Ray Allen
Seattle '06-'07 26.4ppg
Traded to Boston
Boston '07-'08 17.4ppg won championship
Boston '08-'09 18.2ppg

Kevin Love and Bosh were both 1st options that became third options, sacrificed some of their game and won ring(s).
