"Y’all told me Lebron would run the offense and share the ball"
And it’s not even December and Windy ran dat “it’s the same damn Bron offense” article. Explain yourselves.
Note: this ain’t even a subtweet at Basa and his limp dread scrubby gunner. I’m waiting until All Star to run the drive by on allllllllllll duke swingmen.

because his ball dominant style turns them into part-time spot up shooters or spectators.. At least he's older so he can't do it all game like he used too tho..

Since we’re missing our second point guard, Bron has been handling the ball more? Headline news. In the same time span, our pace has been 26th in the league with a bottom 1/3 off rating. We haven’t been winning because Lebron “took over”, our offense has gotten significantly worse in that time span but we’ve been much better defensively (5th in def rating).
Let’s do a little research here before we start spouting Windy’s trash takes. That goes for both Lakers and non-Lakers fans, as we’re seeing in this post.

14. "I'd like to see Luke stay on as Assistant Coach" In response to Reply # 12
He has great rapport with guys - but this team level'd up with Bron's entry and they need a championship caliber coach to steer this ship next year when they will have another star and be a real contender.
Luke doesn't have the gravitas to institute a system that will stick.
19. "Poor Luke..." In response to Reply # 14 Fri Nov-30-18 12:39 PM by Creole
If Luke loses the HC position, he needs to be gone for good. It wouldn't be fair to ask him to do that in the franchise that he's played for, won with, and came back to help through a rough patch.

He'd want another head coaching gig. Only assistant coaching job he's taking is with Golden State and taking the HC job from Kerr when Kerr wants to call it quits because of the back.

He's only taking that job if he gets to coach 4 of the top 15 all-time players.
And btw: Golden State didn't win the chip when Luke was Assistant.
They won TWO after Mike Brown rebuilt the defense
So Mike Brown would DESERVE it

16. "another reason why this post is funny: Bron *is* sharing the ball" In response to Reply # 0
guys aren't making shots and there isn't a consistent 2nd star. Ingram can't score over 20, and has way too many 5-16 nights. Lonzo still can't find his groove offensively. Kuz can go off for a big night - but only 1 out of every 5 games or so. McGree is actually their 2nd most consistent player right now - and that's not going to get the job.
Lakers need to get that 2nd star. The current roster is full of good to very good role players - but no stars.
23. "That’s been the plan and is the plan. Hence 2019’s FA max slot" In response to Reply # 16
whether anyone of the core turns into the 2nd scorer is immaterial. The target has always been two max slots, we got one with Bron and now we’re full the other this coming summer. Pelinka’s negotiation w Deng’s but-it gave us 38.5m in cap space. That’s exactly equal to the max KD can take with a different team.

I couldn't write a better story than that lol. KD joining Bron in LA to snuff Draymond and the Worriers would be a 100% on Rotten Tomatoes.
25. "LeBron wasn't brought here to run the offense..." In response to Reply # 0
who ever told you that doesn't know what they're talking about...
From the very beginning it was widely reported that the strategy Magic and LeBron agreed upon before he signed was for him to play the 4 position with Lonzo...then Rondo running the point..
Magic reiterated just yesterday I believe that we aren't following any Cleveland blueprint related to how LeBron will be used...
obviously he'll have the ball in his hands a lot...just like any other ball dominant star...
but he wasn't brought here to run the offense...
worry bout the Sixers..... because y'all got another lotto pick you're trying to move that don't nobody want...
29. "Oh I agree and it’s what he SHOULD do." In response to Reply # 25
He’s the best basketball player who has ever lived. When the ball is in his hands, everybody eats and the team wins. Bron is doing what needs to be done.
I just thought it was funny when everybody thought a 32 year old legend was going to change everything about his game for luke Walton and a bunch of kids, and I like reminding people how right I always am.

34. "Yet you never addressed the one post which explains why you’re wrong" In response to Reply # 29
He’s taken over ball handling duties *since Rondo got hurt* to replace his on-ball ability. You aren’t right, you just selectively pay attention to make yourself feel knowledgeable.

this year if that..
and always right??
I mean there are too many classics to list..
but I do recall you claiming that Shaq leaving the Lakers would mean that the Sixers had their chance to win a title..that they still haven't won yet...
there are others.....maybe I'll pull some out of an invisible hat later...
39. "facts....Ingram is flatout a better player when Bron's sitting." In response to Reply # 35
Ingram doesn't fit LA anymore. He's a scorer who still needs more development. He would fare well on a team where he's guaranteed to get more touches. ---------------------------------------
41. "is he the 'Kevin Love' of this arrangement?" In response to Reply # 39
(granted, they are two completely different kind of players... speaking mostly on the "not fitting the team" thing)
and if he is, do you think he could adapt to being in a role like Kevin Love was with the LeBron Cavs? It took a while, but Kevin in the corner became one of my favorite things. As well as "Hadouken Pass" transition plays
37. "young core is actively learning - Lakers are now 14-9" In response to Reply # 0
This is as good of a start as you could've asked for with this new, inexperienced team.
And again - Bron is empowering the young guys to step up - and although they've been inconsistent - they are now playing inspired defense and are starting to learn each other's gameflow preferences.
40. "Lakers were #1 in the league in Opp FG% for November..." In response to Reply # 37
We can jabber about Luke or Lebron or Ingram or Lonzo or whatever... but honestly, getting Chandler was the biggest factor in stabilizing the team. It means we're not trotting out Jonathan Williams or Kuzma at the five, and McGee doesn't have to play 30+ minutes.
45. "Chandler has been great, and a huge pickup but" In response to Reply # 40
I feel like the team learning and growing together AS WELL AS just getting a back up center PERIOD helped the defense. We're just lucky to have gotten someone who still has something in the tank. But thank god no more Kuz at the 5 and/or Zubac.
46. "Oh for sure, not saying he's the sole factor..." In response to Reply # 45
just the biggest. He stabilized our lineups and stylistically is the perfect backup 5.
But agreed, Kuzma and Lonzo have been super engaged defensively lately, and while Ingram's offense has been shaky he's usually been consistently good on that end.
Is it because I’m the one who said it? Because you can’t accept the lakers bending to Bron instead of vice versa? Seasonal affect disorder? Parlez with me, I want to help.
