LeBron James believes Lakers will benefit by running more offense through Marc Gasol.

“His basketball IQ, there’s not many in the game like that. I’ve been privileged in back-to-back years be alongside [Rajon Rondo] and now be alongside Marc, who sees the game very similar to the way I see it.”


“I just think playing through him a lot more. When we do that, we’re very good because of his ability to see the floor and pass the ball,” James said of running offense through Gasol.

“He does some special things out on the floor. When he’s on the floor we have to do a better job of not playing much pick-and-roll with him setting the picks, but more just letting him play that point center position at the top of the key and letting the offense flow through him, because he makes great decisions.

“We’re going to get him more involved because he’s going to be a big part of what we do. We know that, and he showed that already this year against Minnesota. We want to continue to get him, Dennis, Trezz and Wes acclimated to what we want to do and go from there.”

Similar situation happened in Toronto.

Gasol sucked, so the team had to find ways to get him more involved.

Would lebron really allow less time for himself having the ball?

He is still a better player than Montrezl Harrell.

Gasol is washed up a scoring threat but he's still a great passer and decision maker. Nothing wrong with this.
