LeBron James Discussion: Not Returning To The Lakers

As great as AD is, he isn't the best at getting his teammates involved, and unfortunately the same can be said for the rest of our squad outside of James and Rondo. So with James out, we really don't have enough good playmakers to keep the offense flowing. AD will get his, but it takes a team to win.

This is something we will need to address before the trade deadline or in the offseason. If James is going to continue missing games and eventually declining, we need to act now to find stars who can make up for some of his skills we will be missing.

 

thats the thing he wasnt wven getting his in the 3rd when james sat n lead shrunk to nothing, he was just a warm body out there

 

Oh I see. I missed the game, so I don't know why he wasn't able to establish himself. It's frustrating but every superstar has games like that. My reply was more on the trend on not winning with just AD and no Bron.

 

Encouraging. We need that W

 

Like many have said, we are too reliant on LBJ.

 

good news but he shouldn't play for the next few games

 

So he really just got kneed in the balls and used that as an excuse for his poor play and poor decisions in the 4th.....

Groin wasn’t an issue when they were up at halfway and he was running over and messing with Kevin Hart.

 

Why are we doing this? Drop a few more—it’s why we got the cushion. So that we can sit lebron and AD when they’re hurt, so that it doesn’t get worse.

 

yea if only that supposed top 3 player would play like one n carry the team when James is out we could afford to sit him

 

Lebron wants to pass Kareem points total more than anything else ?

 

I did not watch the game but if he was missing more than usual not getting that lift would explain his bricks

 

he no longer has a vertical, it's horizontal

looked very average lately going to the basket and getting easily stuffed

Probably a groin bugging him or something. "allegedly"

 

Cleared to play
December 28, 2019
James (ribs/groin) will play Saturday against the Trail Blazers, Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports reports.
And I am not sure is it good or bad news

 

Lebron with 16 assists DANG

 

Lebron's on his last legs. Hate to see it.

 

Forgot where I heard this last year...they said "Out of the top 6 scorers in NBA history I can confidently say Lebron's best attribute is definitely not scoring" I can defintely see why now. He's a willing, skilled and gifted passer....which also shows why he's so uncomfortable late in games in taking big shots. We still need to find a scoring guard next to him. Sorry I don't trust KCP lol we need to get someone via buyout or trade who can confidently shoot from Lebron's passes

 

we do need a closer, and Lebron's best move is to draw attention and kick it out. Kuzma may be your guy, but I think it's about having options with Lebron. Don't be too predictable and have to go to the same guy every single time. (Ala AD, etc) If he's got Green in the corner, Kuzma and AD cutting, and someone else at the 3 pt line, he's got options and can hopefully find the opening.

His vertical can look pretty pedestrian right now without a running start.

 

Exactly.

And where exactly was this against the Clippers?
