    Just gotta trust in the man.

    People counted Brady out this season, the Patriots really didn't look all that imposing up until the last few games of the season.

    I know Lebron's got another level he can get to, it's really up to the young cats to put all the trade stuff behind them and focus on getting better.

    I think most people predicted his decline. Of course he’s not the same player, but he might need more help than most predicted.

    Maybe lakers are throwing in the towel for the season and they're floating this "concern for leBron injury" report out there to potentially shut LeBron down if we don't come out the gates guns blazing?

    I think if we don't go at least 3-2 to close out this month, Lakers need to seriously consider shutting down LeBron and tanking rest of the season to get a lotto pick and potentially sweeten that asset up for an AD deal in the summer.

    Why have LeBron go "all out" just to be the 8 seed and lose badly in the first round?

    What if LeBron goes "all out" and he gets seriously injured?

    Lakers have to be smart here...if LeBron experiences a more serious injury and is out a prolonged period of time...nobody will wanna join us in the summer.

    the lack of defense and shooters are far bigger issues than lebron's decline

    yes, its looked like his decline has begun at times but he's still putting up numbers around what he has in recent years

    I’m sure the Lakers are hoping he will set some more all-time records as a Laker, so there is not any benefit in sitting him unnecessarily.

    absolutely; shut him down, improve our draft position, tamper a little here and there, and brace for another lackluster FA summer...

    Can't believe our season has come to wanting to rank after we signed the best player in the game.

    LeBron can play like "old" LeBron even now. We saw it last year during the playoffs. However when he reverted to that style, you saw that he was GASSED by the end of the 3rd most games. It's not sustainable, and we don't want him to do that. The last time I saw something similar was Kobe in 2013, and we all know how that ended.

    I think Lebron is still coming to grips with his mortality. He's still making statements to the press about how well he takes care of his body and how minutes don't matter.

    Clearly they do, and he needs to do some Stockton/Malone type of minute management to extend his prime. Also gives the youngsters some quality minutes and the green light without him on the floor. He also has to give up being the PG.

    What I think he is going to struggle with is adapting his game. Kobe recently said in that interview with TMAC that he can keep playing because he was blessed with size if he moves down to the block/post to play. So far what he has done is the opposite. He's drifted towards half court. He takes more 3's from Pasadena per game than he has post ups. That's a problem.

    yeah, i always thought lebron would transition to full-time pf/c starting around this point in his career, but he's not really doing that yet. but another lower body injury, and he'll have no choice, especially defensively.

    Dumb a** would be great in the high post both scoring and distributing but noooooooo ..... LeBron Ball playing the point, ISOing and jacking up 3's.

    do you guys agree? I wasn't really trying to watch the C Bags back then but it does seem like bron always wants a stacked deck. AND he got impatient and probably cauzed that whole AD thing to spin out of control.
