In the West, name the players with comparable positive impact as LeBron

[hiphopanonymous]

We all know that in the East LeBron locks them into the Finals but that's not saying much. In the West he took a non-playoff Lakers team and... well and didn't really do much they still aren't in the Playoffs. Also traded half the roster to customize it to his liking and is on pace despite all that to win maybe 5% more games?

So Western Conference fans - what player out West is LeBron most similar to as far as actual impact on winning goes? Is he like a Robert Covington value player out West? Maybe a Marvin Bagley tier?

I'm not really sure hoping someone could paint a more accurate picture of how much impact they see from him on the Lakers compared with other Western Conference players :confusedshrug:

Paul George is better than ever since he came out West.

What happened?

[Mr. Jabbar]

He is in a league of his own. Not only did his team not improve, but he destroyed the biggest NBA franchise for the foreseeable future.

I will still root for him though, fandom never dies!

but he destroyed the biggest NBA franchise for the foreseeable future.

Lakers win totals previous 5 seasons: 35, 26, 17, 21, 27


They were already "destroyed".
