    When I suggested they look into getting him I did so to help 3pt shooting and spacing.I didn’t realize how well he finishes around the basket and his passing ability.

    Deep down, he's a playmaker, who just happens to shoot really well. :LLLLLebronlaughing:

    I think we should slot him as our backup PG moving forward. Smart can focus on the backup SG. Redundancy is always good, we have Luka and Reaves in the starting unit to handle the ball and Luke and Smart as backups.

    If LeBron stays that’s 5 ball handlers and lots of IQ.

    We have an embarrassment of riches on playmaking, and just an embarrassment on defense. (Most of the time)

    when i kind of scoffed at getting him, it's because i had no idea he could pass and finish as well as he does. this is what happens when you get old and stop buying league pass, lol.
