Lebron apparently plans to go full time point guard this year.

[Kblaze8855]

I don’t think I saw a topic on it but he’s starting at the 1 with green at the two. I don’t think he’s done it for long other than as a rookie before Jeff McGinnis got there and in a couple injury situations but with his play style it won’t be an obvious change I suspect.

I’m sure he has haters and fans with an opinion to offer though so here we are.

Lakers still dont understand spacing i see....another failure coming up this year too.Cant wait for LeBron to demand a trade

[NBAGOAT]

lebron will be a point guard on offense and a big/wing on defense so really only thing that has changed is there wont be a secondary ball handler. I'm pretty sure they start danny and bradley or kcp.

[red1]

he already pounds the rock literally zero adjustment. they don't have a pointguard other than rondo so it makes sense gotta run it through lbj.


I really want to see what this team looks like with AD. I think they'll have injury problems but will BEAST at full strength.

It fixes the inherent flaw in his game

with lebron at pg, his ball-dominance is no longer abnormal, thereby eliminating the redundant, 2-PG nature of his previous teams

previously, his abnormal ball-dominance for a forward gave his teams two PG-style players on the court most of the time (the pg and lebron), which gave teammates less hold-time and assists than they get in 1-PG lineups on other teams.. Lower teammate assists gave the TEAM low asssists and a weak ball movement brand that struggled to achieve or maintain the best teams.

Lebron and the remaining cast will finally rank well in assists

Lebron
Green
Kuzma
AD
Cousins

They have one guy in the starting lineup who can guard a quick guard.

That means Lebron will have to guard SGs most of the time. Run after Klay on screens.



That backcourt will be exposed big time by any competent coach. SG is exactly the position that still runs around screens. Lebron want to guard PGs instead? Wants to guard Irving, Dame? Maybe Kuzma at 6-10 should be chasing Klay

OP ONLY talks about LeBron

The Lakers are gonna be a 1 manned baseball team. Good luck keeping AD next year you stupid f*cks.

Kuzma and Cousins won't start. It's either Pope or Bradley at the wing next to Green. McGee in the middle.

Rondo-Kuzma-Cousins run the bench mob

So nothing has changed.

Posting what I posted in another thread..

We have not even had training camp, and we are 8 days into free-agency. WAAAAAAAAAAAY too early for any coach to take what Haynes said serious. The Lakers coaches are probably laughing over a cup of coffee at how idiotic it sounds. Haynes' source is probably sitting back smirking at the sh*tshow they caused by saying "OH OH, LEBRON STARTING AT PG!!".

It's utter nonsense at the present point in time for such a decision to have been made by any credible coach. Lets wait until training camp finishes, maybe even pre-season before we discuss who is starting where. Until then, it's nothing more than some executive's opinion based on their intuition. AKA nothing you can't get from some bum teenager in the mall who watches nba occasionally.

It could also be indirectly a message by Lakers brass to Rondo that he will not start. Throw LeBron at the pg, and now Rondo can't insist on starting.. Not like he can start at the 2 or 3.

Again, it's all speculation for now. Wait until preseason. Even when regular season starts, you will see variations in lineups until they find one that works most effectively.

So nothing has changed.

Exactly hahah

odd, wasn't there a leak about Obama promising Hilary Clinton the Presidency, now you're telling me she's starting a campaign for the vice presidency

AD is guarding everyone.
