    Oh he has AD, McGee and Boogie as interior targets?

    Danny Green and Cook lined up outside?

    Yessir.

    It’s a little odd to hear LeBron at full time pg, you’d think you’d want to lessen his workload, but it does make sense in some ways. As long as they have the defensive matchups sorted out it’s fine, I trust LeBron to feed AD, hit shooters and throw lobs more than any other pg we have.

    I'm not worried about the defense, Magic always used to defend SFs and the like. That's why Byron Scott was so integral to the team and so damn underrated. LeBron still has a huge size advantage when he does get matched up with PGs so be my guest if your gameplan is to try to get your PG matched up on LeBron and try to take him off the dribble all game with Anthony f***ing Davis lurking in the paint lol.

    Mannn I'm so hyped for the AD fit on this team. People are gonna be amazed at how much of a difference he'll make in the paint on a team full of smart defenders to cover the backline rotation when AD steps over to bother shots. Good luck to any PG driving on LeBron and AD that has to make the skip pass to the weakside corner over those 2 monsters.

    This summers plan is literally the opposite of last years debacle. (Smash mouth no shooting ball handlers to preserve Lebron)

    Now we have almost all shooters and now Lebron the pg.

    The only thing that stop this team from making the playoffs last season were injuries. Between LeBron, Ingram,Rondo, Hart, kuz, Ball, and McGee. They missed a total of a little over 200 games plus the ones for suspension. This team never once actually played at full strength for any period of time for cohesion

    I love how people are sleeping on LeBron now 'cuz he was injured & not in the Playoffs last Year.
    Dude was absolutely in the MVP discussion before the groin injury & now has "His" Team, a legit Co-Star & new motivation.
    I've finally accepted LeBron as a Laker too. Can't wait for next Season..!!!

    Yeah me too. Even has some leeway for douchiness as he feels the need. :D He and Klutch rescued the franchise I have to admit.

    ^ if that's what he thinks, he's delusional. Bron is one of the GOATS. Kawhi, i don't think he'll crack top 20 all time.

    he could be the first to win a title on 3 different franchises and win Finals MVP. That's something pretty cool to brag about, and you wouldn't have to hear about Lebron doesn't have enough help, must be the other guy's fault, etc.

    Folks were saying Lebron is the next Magic and then Cuffs tweeted a picture of this with Kareem's goggles which Lebron then replied back to Cuffs laughing about it.
