Brian Windhorst: “When LeBron doesn’t play and Austin Reaves and Luka do, the Lakers are a better team.”
It’s very simple:
LeBron is shooting 31% from three right now. He was at 38% last season, and it reflected because the Lakers finished last season reasonably well considering Luka was not 100% physically or mentally.
Yesterday, Rui replaced him and was hitting the shots that Luka/AR were creating, so it made a big difference.
If he is able to improve his shooting efficiency, they will be fine offensively. And it’s not like Rui is better than him defensively.
LeBron at age 41 doesn’t bring the skill set the current Lakers need.
They already have 2 offensive on ball creators in Luka and Austin, they need defense, shooting, hustle and athleticism around them
Current LeBron is a less effective version of Luka who’s better in transition
There are 4 kinds of Lakers fans:
OG support LA no matter who is on the team
Kobe stans
Lebron fans
Luka stans.
Number 3 will never accept your argument correct as it is.
As a Kareem stan I’m neutral
I’m 2 and 1 but I do admire and appreciate LeBron’s time with the Lakers. He’s no longer worth the salary that is paid for him and Father Time has finally come for him. He’s an excellent player but he’s no longer the perennial All-NBA caliber player he used to be. Looking forward to moving on and retooling the team around Luka and Reaves.
Its dumb that this take gets downvoted into oblivion on r/lakers too. Lebron is still a great player and the Lakers as a team play better without him. Both things are true and has nothing to do with hating on Lebron. I enjoyed Lebron’s tenure on the Lakers, even as a previous hater, but after this season its easy to see that its time for both parties to move on.
If Lebron commited primarily to rim running - setting screens - being a flow through player - similar to what Dereick White or Draymond do then he could fit next to Luka & Reaves quite well.
The issue is that he think that is beneath him. He can still go out there and average 25/7/7 on a playoff caliber team but that is not what the Lakers need from him and that won’t make them a contender.
Yeah but at the same time saying Kobe wasn’t worth his Contract for the last 3 years of career whilst true would have gotten down votes as well. People are just too emotional with these guys.
He should be coming off the bench. What bench players in this league can stop a team lead by LeBron James. It’ll be like him in the east with the Cavs. I think this is better for him as well. He could never be a 6th man of the year, even coming off the bench. He’d probably be all nba. Gunshots are still top 20 in the league.
And the Cavs are a perfect team for him with Mobley at center.
Most lakers fans in LA, who have been fans for a while, are 1 and 2
Number 2 checking in
Most of the long time lakers fans I know who actually live in LA are #2
To be number 1 you need to be at least 50 at this point and even then for a long time being a Kobe fan and lakers fan were the same thing.
I’m a Van Exel stan
I think this fanbase recognizes the data. We appreciate what LeBron did for us in 2020 and sticking by until now, but after this season is a clear off ramp. We just gotta work together this season to make some noise, and live with the results.
3 were goofy and bad. 2 and 4 are ugly and unbearable.
AND they need the 50MM per year ..
Lebron is one of the most famous people in human history. He’s undervalued at $50M.
To the organization, absolutely, to the team absolutely not.
He’s undervalued if they need him to sell tickets (they don’t)
He’s overvalued if their goal is winning
So you are talking about business not basketball.
Sure if we’re only talking about the Lakers making money and not about winning
Yeah but thats besides the point. IMO playoff lebron is still worth close to 50, but regular season bron is not.
Culture and leadership is really important in every org and job.
Little things like seeing someone successful and see how they go about their day to day can make a huge difference on a team.
Your entire point is correct except for the last half of the last sentence. On no planet is Luka better than LBJ in transition. In fact, some of the more recently successful bench lineups have included LBJ and the try-hards (Vando, LaRavia, etc) because they are able to get out in transition more than the Luka led lineups.
Edit: realizing you meant LBJ was better in transition … ie LBJ is a slightly worse version of Luka that is better in transition than Luka. In which case I generally agree.
You’re agreeing with them
Your comprehension skill is lacking dude. Read again
Edited my comment. But the sentence was ambiguous because “who” could refer to LBJ or Luka; using “that” would unambiguously refer to “version” which would remove the ambiguity. Perhaps your comprehension skills are lacking?
You could argue its a lack of ball knowledge rather than reading comprehension I suppose since its that context that makes it obvious.
lol if your baseline assumption is that a random post on r/nba evidences actual ball knowledge then maybe you really do have comprehension issues.
LeBron can still play defense if he wanted to.
It is very simple. Luka plays better in the first half. LeBron plays better in the last quarter. AR plays well throughout the whole game.
Sit LeBron mostly in the first half. Sit Luka more in the second half. Play all three as minimal as possible.
Old man doesn’t have his legs. Dont expect that to get better
He’s averaging the lowest PPG and RPG since his rookie season. Today is the best LeBron will be the rest of his career.
This is the argument I’ve been trying to make as a laker fan for 2 years. He is not worth the salary not because he wasn’t a great player or still puts up good numbers, but he is 40 and will decline fast.
Bron is still our best finisher at the rim though, I think
Need stats guy to confirm for me
I think AR has him there, but it’s different play styles
So the goal is to make LeBron a great jump shooter?
Tbf he was decent the last 2 seasons, but fell off a cliff this season
He was hitting those FU threes but that’s not a reason to have him on the floor.
Rui this season is better defensively than Lebron. Not even close really. The amount of times Lebron loses his man for an easy backdoor layup or weak side cut is ridiculous. Also he will not stay back to box out or rebound and takes off as soon as the shot is up. And on top of that his on ball defense isn’t great either, which no knock, can’t expect that at 41 years old.
Goddamn, I knew JB was struggling but 16-50 is wild
Holy I just caught that tf happened
He’s passing the ball a lot more to try to keep the offense moving. Last 5 games:
7 assists - Spurs (32 minutes; was a blowout)
10 assists - Toronto
15 assists - OKC
15 assists - Denver (34 minutes; was a blowout)
7 assists - Lakers
He’s making an effort to get everybody else in rhythm, but in the process he’s trying to figure out when to pick his spots to do what he does. I feel like he could use a rest day, but his rhythm being off seems directly correlated with trying to get everybody else going.
It’s probably better in the long run for Knicks then.
Probably. The last person I’m worried about not finding his shot is Brunson.
Hard to tell the direction of cause and effect here. Is he focusing on improving his playmaking, which results in having a harder time finding his own shot? Or is he falling back to being a facilitator when he can tell he’s having an off shooting night?
He must have been hanging around my boy Cade lol
Just in time for JT’s return
Brother wtf! I thought Brown was having stinkers by reading JB. 🤦🏻
early game, daylight savings time, i’m not putting a ton of stock into it. i was a fuckin mess yesterday and i am an elite parent usually so
Mikal was out there doing cardio.
no elite parent will claim themselves to be elite. that’s a title people give you, you don’t give yourself that title.
jokes aside i was a mess too ytd. something just didn’t feel right the whole day for me lol
But that didn’t affect the Lakers?
Bumson
Isn’t this kinda just his thing? He’s one of the streakiest players I’ve ever seen
Not really. Typically if his shot isn’t falling he gets to the line and gets back on track after seeing a few go through. And if he doesn’t have it in the first 3 quarters he almost always shows up in the 4th. This is the worst 5 game shooting slump he’s had in the last 3 seasons (since becoming an All-NBA player).
I’ve rarely seen him unable to get anything to go down in the 4th quarter.
Anyone who knows anything went into this season knowing the Lakers were punting. Until they can get Lebron off the books, they cannot build a truly competitive team around Luka. This is not because Lebron or Luka are bad, just that you cannot have those two players on max contracts and build around BOTH of them.
I’ve been baffled this season the way people talk about the Lakers like they “should” be a top-level team, but people cannot help but obsess over the Lakers.
Being the 5th seed in a year where they are punting is impressive.
It’s still Lebron and Luka, they are very good at basketball. They blow out bad teams and when they win it’s by the skin of their teeth. Come playoffs, any team with a solid offense will exploit the hell of their defense.
It’s still Luka and AR*
I will fully admit to being in denial about AR lmao. I watch the games, I know how good he is on offense, but I keep expecting to wake up the next day and he’s a solved problem with bad defense.
But he keeps getting away with it!
Yeah, for sure. He’s had a rough stretch since the sixers game so your take’s been looking better. I just meant this season’s wins are largely thanks to Luka and AR in a literal sense. Those two and smart would be well ahead of all others on the team if we had a perfect WAR stat.
Lebron has had an up and down year and only recently found good lineups. JJ has been slow to changes because of the many egos on the team.
Even now, everytime I watch him, it just looks like he is so careless with the ball and that it will get picked. But, it just doesn’t.
I mean it was Luka and Lebron when AR was hurt and we were winning. It’s just the trio that needs to get figured out
I mean did you look at the Celtics recently ?
Forgive my density, but help me understand
It was supposed to be a throwaway season without Tatum, yet they performed quite decent
Celtics and Thunder are built well enough to have outside chances at Finals appearances without their best guy. I hate it as a Heat fan, but there is no denying how well those teams were constructed.
I don’t think that’s true about the Thunder. Without SGA I don’t think their record is anything special
In terms of the Celtics roster without Tatum? I don’t think anyone saw this season coming unless they predicted a lot of players having their best ever season (not just Brown but also a bunch of our role players).
I’d say the reason we’re so good this season is largely on our coaching and development
Coaching of course plays a part - a talented roster is going to fail if the coach is a schlub. Even before the injury, though, the Celtics had a great record in games Tatum was absent for. He is a great player that pushes the team that last bit it needs to be championship caliber, but they are still a damn scary team without him is my point.
Well yeah. Luka is still easily a top 5 player.
We still have a talented team with a top player in Luka. But we have critical weaknesses that prevent us from being real contenders (I.e. our centers suck, Luka & Lebron have redundant skillsets, our defense is bad, etc)
lol. They’ll go out in the first round of the playoffs.
A deceptively good 5th seed because of how tight the west is. They’re 1 game off being the 3 seed
Yeah and even “punting” sounds worse than it is. I think they’ve found some potential long-term bench pieces in Laravia, Kennard, Hayes, and Smart (if he can stay healthy). It’s a process to completely shift your team and build around a new duo in Luka and AR. They’ve taken some steps this season.
And considering that and all the injuries, they’ve still hovered around the same record as Denver, Minnesota, and Houston.
They have to get rid of smart. He’s older and will shoot them out of games
None of those bench pieces are all that exciting. They’re okay at best.
LMFAO at the downvotes, do you idiots really see 33 year old Marcus Smart and 6ppg Jaxson Hayes as good pieces?
The only real problem I have with this take is that when they get Lebron off the books next year they have to pay Reeves.
Now I doubt Reeves is going to get a contract that’s 34% of the cap, which is what they free up with Lebron walking, but they aren’t going to get all of that money to sign players and I would expect Reeves to be looking at like at least 35 mil a year and that’s probably too low and me just being conservative.
Yeah exactly.
I had excitement about Ayton, but always knew that this was a gap year.
Soon into the season I realised that we’re definitely not contenders and removed any hope of that, and also lost belief in Ayton as our long term starting C.
I’m always excited and optimistic to an extent if we make the playoffs, but realistically we’re probably a first round exit and at best a second round exit.
Imagine if Ayton had actually balled out this year and tempted the Lakers into re-signing him for big money. We all know how that would have ended up.
The Lakers have been cap strung since the final Kobe years
Besides LeBron and AD, I don’t think they’ve inked a true free agent to a $100 mil deal this century
Their best FA signing during the Bron era is probably KCP
We’ll see what the new management does with the extra cash flow and not the cash poor Buss and Rambis families
Well they haven’t needed to sign big players because they just get them all through trades.
Big players don’t really hit free agency like they used to
the best version of the Luka Lakers, whatever it will be, is not going to include LeBron James or DeAndre Ayton, IMO.. This is a transition year. Honestly I don’t know what they should do if LeBron plans to play next year too. It’s kind of handicapping Luka’s prime years
We did better than expected in free agency so everyone started cranking up the expectations again, but this has always been a gap season. If not for Lebron’s contract, definitely for some of our other contracts like Maxi’s.
I hate you “punting” Mfers. Dumb as fuck with a weak ass mentality.
Wow I totally didn’t see this coming from first take
Just for context.. LeBron and the bench unit are one of the better, more consistent lineups on the Lakers and have been all year
But that doesn’t get clicks
Same record as Rockets and Nuggets and Cavs. Better than Raptors, Magic.
But 45 articles a day about how terrible the lakers are.
Sort of true but misleading. They stagger minutes heavily, so their “bench unit” will usually have 1 if not 2 of Luka/AR/Bron at all times.
Yeah also isn’t the whole argument that the lakers aren’t that good when all three of their best players share the court? So I’m not sure how that other person’s comment is that relevant
That’s the wild thing. People make it seem like LeBron can’t fit on the team at all, but it’s just that he can’t fit with Luka and AR all together
Or…maybe because LeBron is out the rest of the Lakers stepped up. They all played with more intensity yesterday.
Now, i don’t think LeBron is a Max salary player this year, but i’m hearing some people want to put him on the bench. That’s just stupid.
If the Lakers are going to have any shot at a playoff run, the Luka, LeBron, AR trio HAS to work
He’s 41, his minutes have to be dialed back. He gets tired, he throws up lazy shots. His FG% is way down this year.
I didn’t realise 50 FG% was “way down” this is a new one.
It’s the catch and shoot 3s that he’s missing. He’s made up the misses with more 2s but Luka and Austin are creating 3s that LeBron can’t take advantage of and it makes the offense look like them trading turns driving. Ideally either Luka or Austin drives and kicks out for a swish.
his TS% is 2% worse than team average while scoring a lot in transition
It isn’t way down. He’s shooting the same overall FG% as he always does
Agreed on all accounts. That’s why i say he’s not a max player even though he was great last year. That said, I’d rather see lebron take a more defense first mindset to his role. I’d rather have him average 17/7/7 with + defense than his current play. I think that’s the solution for the current team. A little less with ball in the hands and a bit more play finishing instead. but if you put lebron or AR on the bench, then this team is already finished. I don’t think it’d make sense to do that, but even if you did, you’d destroy the locker room with either move
Olympic 2024 Bron is what this team needs. I just don’t think he can exert that much energy defensively on a consistent basis anymore
That’s the best case scenario if Lakers want to win at least one playoff series. But at this age he probably gets fatigued or injured if he plays heavy defence in one series.
theyve been staggering being injured or off, Lebron sometimes has bad shooting years, it usually comes his back issues like in 2015 when he was awful and needed surgery. Its entirely possible for him to get his shot back if he can get his back right
You know damn well it doesn’t work. Luka without AR or Lebron leads way better lineups than all three with a significant sample size. Even Lebron led units are better. The reality is that LeBron and Luka serve the same rolls when maximized on both ends and are both not great support players. They are an awful fit. They need all 3 playing well together to go far which is why they won’t go far and would likely get further switching up lineups to be optimized while ignoring politics.
The problem is that LeBron refuses to play defense. If he focused on defense and let Luka and AR score they would be fine. But then we’d all be talking about how LeBron scoring 8 PPG is washed. And he can’t have that.
Maybe Austin has a lucky leprechaun… can’t really speculate on these things.
So it’s also just a matter of everyone stepping up when he is healthy but goes to the bench?
I mentioned it in another post, but I want LeBron in the starting lineup, but to become more of a play finisher instead of an initiator. Instead i’d rather have him play + defense all game. Even at 41, he’s still more athletic than AR or Luka and this team needs defense. I’m not saying he wouldn’t be the 3rd leading scorer. I’m just saying i’d rather see 17/7/7 with + defense instead of his current 21⁄5.6⁄7
That said, yes, i think the biggest factor is that the team just needs to give higher intensity like last night more often.
I don’t think this is controversial at all. Obviously I love LeBron for what he’s done here but this year he’s regressed a lot because of the Sciatica
If we had last years version of him we would be a lot better. From the trade deadline to the playoffs he was like a Super Draymond Green but this year he’s regressed offensively (mainly from 3) and defensively because obviously he’s 41
The Data and Eye test show that we are better without LeBron and Rui in the lineup because Rui at this point because Rui is the better floor spacer
James opts to sit down on games against lesser opponents to extend his rest for his injuries. Look at their opponents on their 9-2 record with Luka and AR without him. Windhorst should’ve known better.
The team they just smacked down has a better record than they do.
Barley, and they play in a weak east.
Charles Barley?
It also includes in game when he’s on the bench
LeBron is 41 years old, they need to manage his minutes and he needs to stop shooting 3s.
Honestly he needs to come off the bench… He would fit perfectly in that role for this team. But no, it won’t happen.
Even then, Bron at his best this year just is not a good fit for this starting lineup. He either needs to retire or go somewhere that needs a ball handler.
Brian still salty about brons comments about him glazing him too much
And he’s on a max contract, yet nephews will refuse to acknowledge he’s the obvious problem with the lakers lmao
His contract is directly offset by how little Austin reaves is paid.
You either die a hero or live long enough to become the westbrook scapegoat
“Problem” 😂
Huge Lakers fan here. Even though I don’t follow stats, it certainly feels like it watching all the games. However, I think the biggest disappointment this season is Ayton’s passivity for a big, athletic center.
This is Ayton and always has been. There is a reason somebody else is paying most of his salary
The upgrade from Ayton to Clingan was massive. I like DA. He’s a funny dude. But his hustle has always been an issue.
Is this a real thing or is it taking some unrepeatable early season data out of context ?
It’s a pretty consistent trend. They play better pretty much across the board when lebron isn’t playing.
It’s real
Is it more or less real than the Celtics going 6-1 without Jaylen Brown this season with all those wins being blowouts between 16-45 points ?
Actually at the beginning of season Lakers were atrocious with big3, its been plus net rating since the allstar break. But yeah, its clickbait media reaching for the lowest apple. In windys defence, understandable since he cant probably stand up anymore.
Nah it makes sense. He is just a bad fit. Of course this wouldn’t matter if he was prime LeBron because he would bring enough to the table as himself so that fit doesn’t matter. But right now he is at the level of a very good role player so fit matters more. Luka and Austin need shooting and defense around them and he doesn’t provide that.
LeStats don’t LaLie
🤔 glad I’m a Spurs fan because all we saw on BSPN for years & years was LeBron… especially when in LA BUT now he’s ‘expendable’ huh?…. talk about fair weather fans
We all know this. Lebron is a solid player still but he’s not worth the amount of usage and poor defence he gives. At his age you just can’t rely on him for these things, which is fine he’s 42.
PG for LeBron 🙏
It’s not really up for debate if you believe the data.
Feel like we have been having this debate for at least 5 years now lol. Swap in/out players.
My favorite part is we have to keep having this debate over an irrelevant team championship wise because they’re in LA.
It’s the lazy media peddling a narrative
i feel Journalists desperately want this to happen so they talk about it (the fact that LeBron is kinda holding the Lakers back). and tbh it’s true atm but it’s due to LeBron’s form not necesarily him not fitting into the system.
Mikal having the worst game of his career was a big influence as well
Windhorst trying to stay relevant with clickbait takes. Dude is such a 🤡
Anyone that watches the games can clearly see LeBron is a weak link on the team and holding us back
I watch all of them and he’s been the best player on the court for many of them…
The Lebron-stans don’t like it but the numbers don’t lie (and the eye test). LeBron is a defensive liability in most games. Not hating on him, dude is 41 playing against 20-something year-olds. Offensively the offense stagnates when the three of them are on the floor.
When Windy says it ..
Is ar and Luka a championship back court?
I hate the Lakers, but I think they can be. You just need a great interior defense for when players blow by them.
Yes. You just need to build a great defensive team around them to account for their weaknesses.
Not entirely different from accounting for the weaknesses of other duos.
LeBron’s jumper still hasn’t joined the 25-26 season yet.
You don’t need LeBron’s jumpshot. You need his defense.
Lebron is fully capable of making the team better by playing more like draymond, but he’d rather spend his energy on offense so his stats don’t look abysmal
This is the truth. LeBron can contribute but he chooses not to.
I know this is a low hanging fruit of an argument but do they get talking points for reddit? There was a big thread saying this verbatim after the game yesterday lolol
The Lakers could be, and seem to be, better without LeBron right now. That is true. But if they have any dreams of anything other than losing in the first round of the playoffs, they need him.
The numbers are negatively skewed because Bron was ass for like the first month he was back due to getting back in shape. Since Xmas he’s a plus in net rating with Luka and reeves.
Conversely the Luka and ar ratings are skewed. Early in the season they had unsustainable shooting. The entire team was shooting 60% from mid range, Luka was 90% at the rim, etc.
When the White People take the whip and the Null Nubian stays back, better things happen.” - Brian Windhorst, 2026.
When Luka and AR lead championship run without Bron, I’ll buy it. Luka needs one period, AR earned his as a complimentary piece to AD and Bron. Just a stupid take for clicks. Exactly why I don’t watch their programming.
I am with your take, AR does not have a ring though.
LeBron has by far th we worst defensive rating for a rotational player on the Lakers and they have a lot of bad defensive players.
Anything to slander bron smh
They need to bench LeBron but no one wants to do it bc it looks bad PR wise and could anger a lot of people
Lebron is just turbo washed, his only value is made redundant when Luka does it 10x better, all he can do now is cherry pick when the lakers miraculously get a stop. He can’t even play defense anymore either. He’s completely dead weight
His body can’t do it consistently anymore imo
Remember when LBJ called Windhorst weird.
The Knicks went 8-34 from beyond the arc. I’m sure that played a role in the Lakers taking that win. The Knicks also came off an excellent game the night before and cooled off. We gotta stop with the LeBron slander. Context is important
It’s not just a LeBron thing (obviously he’s not what he used to be). But they have a player who does what he does at a higher level rn. And
This fanbase has way too many people with mini agendas who care more about their narratives than actually supporting the team.
The reality is simple: JJ and Luka need to figure out how to optimize LeBron, and LeBron needs to settle into the right role within the team. That’s the normal process for any roster with multiple stars.
Instead, people are constantly ready with pitchforks to go after the one guy who is not only the last remaining champion from the 2020 team, but also the only player on this roster who has actually won anything.
It’s weird, and honestly pretty disgusting to see this from fans who love talking about “Mamba mentality” and loyalty.
Oh no a 41 year old isn’t carrying your team I can’t believe it
Is this guy fucking serious? I’ve seen windhorst say dumb shit before but get off lebrons dick my god man
He’s 41 what they want him to do😂😂
I just don’t see a scenario where a 41 year old LeBron contributes at a level that warrants the amount he gets paid. He isn’t bad by any means obviously, but he has too many holes in his current game and attitude that make it an immense handicap for the team to be built. If his salary was allocated to 2-3 other guys who are upper-level roleplayers, especially for big men, I could see their whole team improving across the board, especially for Luka. They have enough heavy hitters as is.
I know LBJ would never agree to it but I heard the numbers show when it’s LBJ and the second unit or basically LBJ and no Luka or Reaves on the court it usually is a very successful lineup. So I feel like the best case scenario is somehow staggering them so that Luka and Reaves carry the load and then they sit and Bron comes in to run the offense and be the distributor he is and keeps up the offensive pressure. I know this sounds a lot like what they eventually made Westbrook do, come off the bench to run the second unit, but imo LeBron could still start for a few minutes like the first 4 or 5 for a game and then start the stagger Strat. I think it would make the Lakers better and Bron would absolutely be a way more effective and better version of what they tried to do with Westbrook back in the day.
JJ enters the chat
Lmao I wish I was that rich
He’s right, also he’s still mad at the Pat Mcafee callout
Well it was uncalled for
This is such a stupid narrative. LeBron clearly isn’t fully back healthy and is still gearing up. He’s shooting like 32% from three if that ticks back up which most likely it will. This is not going to be an issue
The bigger issue is the team does not have elite defense on the wings because all three of these guys have similar weaknesses. At least with LeBron it’s due to his age
I think Windy was trying to say LeBron coming off the bench would be better for the roster. Which is obvious to everyone. It feels like it was obvious to LeBron considering that before the season, he lobbied for a trade via Rich Paul specifically due to roster construction. I honestly wonder if the sale of the Lakers had anything to do with it. Probably not, but we’ll never know for sure.
People regularly hate on Windhorst but having watched ESPN for years now, he’s one of the very few who actually watches the games and I’m not talking just about the big teams. He’s 100% committed to basketball as well
Even if people disagree with his opinions you can never say he’s talking out of his arse. It’s always an educated opinion even if it’s a dumb one
This one though is entirely about defense. LBJ Reaves and Luka don’t have the offensive output that cancels out their negatives on defense
Amen
No kidding, Luka, Bron and Austin all best when they’re ball dominant. If anyone of the trio sits out they’re better
Lebron should be the 6th man at this point imo. Play in spurts.
So much for being Lebron’s best friend
Lebron made it very clear they weren’t friends last year lmfao
True but even if they were these are just the facts
Sample size?
Can I enjoy just one win without Windy and ESPN trying to stir up drama??
Thanks for the obvious
We know
I think LBJ needs to take a vet min and come off the bench or get the fuck outta LA.
Why would he take a vet min with 22/5/6 splits??
Logic goes out the window when it comes to LeBron
