Teams routinely step up when star players are out. At no point this season has LeBron been as bad as Rui and D-Lo have been this season and even with two other starters sucking AD has been great. If you want to make the argument he's held AD back, this ain't it.Cause he old as shyt and has already started to decline. There was times throughout the season Lakers looked like a way better team without him..

I am not talking about individual performances, I am talking about the team as a whole with Lebron leading the charge. This Lebron led offense sucks and I am tired of seeing it, especially now seeing as his age is up there and you can see the decline happening.
The players move way more freely out there without him, instead of ball watching. Even on the defensive end they are quicker without Lebron being on the floor at times.
None of this is true. Rui and Reaves were great in the playoffs last year. LeBron was routinely deferring to Reaves. D'Angelo was borderline great in the regular season playing next to LeBron. His usage rate was lower than Steph, Jaren Jackson and Kuzma, barely top 20. This has not been "Bron ball" in any shape or form.I am not talking about individual performances, I am talking about the team as a whole with Lebron leading the charge.

What are you talking about? Some of the Lakers biggest wins this season came without him?
What does any of this have to do with anything? I'm talking about this year specifically. Due to Lebron age and his decline, the offense is really trash when Bron decides to run the offense at times. Lebron has the highest usage and the most touches on the team this year, so there is definitely some Bron ball at play=No ball movement
I'm not going to put the whole blame on Lebron because that is a coaching issue as well, but Lebron is definitely part of it on both ends. Remember some of this offense is because Lebron has to "pace" himself due to his age.

That's the Lakers scouting department. Not Pelinka.
Randle, Larry Nance, Zubac were all drafted before Pelinka was even a thought of becoming a gm.
Scouting department is elite. Not a damn thing to do with Pelinka.
Scouts don’t draft. They give suggestions and the GM pulls the trigger. No GM in the world scouts enough so using your logic we can’t blame or praise any GM whatsoever when it comes to drafting.

I wonder how many years it will take us to recover from LeBron

We never recovered from the Westbrook trade . Wasted AD’s best full season health wise this season. Lebron looks like his age and it’s not going to get better. I feel like it’s time to rebuild . I don’t think this group has what it takes to beat Denver . Even in an ideal situation with the best possible role players. Lebron is too old . 2020 was ideal because AD and lebron were equals and would alternate being the best player . 
HAVENT BEEN KEEPIN UP WIT THREAD.. IS EVERYONE SCAPE GOATING DARVIN HAM AD AND/OR ALL THE ROLE PLAYERS YET?
It took Cleveland 4 years
It took Miami 5 years
One thing about Bron, he utilizes every ressource and leaves your team lifeless with no hope for at least half a decade. His fans will still scream and shout that he was treated unfairly though.
