We dive into the latest on LeBron James, who has hit a major rough patch for the Lakers. Is it time for a change? Plus, why did Dalton Knecht slide in the draft? The Jazz have several players who will be firmly on the trade market and more with Trevor Lane and Keith Smith...

Before the game against the Wolves. In the previous 5 games, AD has played a total of 29 (4th quarter) minutes and has only scored 6 POINTS total. And in the Wolves game 0 POINTS. BUT Trevor is ONLY focused on tearing Lebron down. He also hasn't said a word about Dalton Knecht last 2 bad games.

Pelinka: Is there anything we should be concerned about? Knecht: No Pelinka: Great, here’s a player’s option.

@blackdragon6 2 ай бұрын

Washed? Nah, over utilized? Yes! AD was SUPPOSED to take over. What happened with that? 🤷🏾‍♂️

@JX9917 2 ай бұрын

AD can only do so much man; he’s not a creator off the dribble or anything; AD & Bron are surrounded by a bunch of Jordan Clarkson’s in the starting lineup with them and it only gets worse from there!!!

@rogers6168 2 ай бұрын

My take on AD is- he can either be a great defensive presence or a great offensive presence. He can't do both, and cannot be both & should not be expected to be.

Our worst defenders (reaves, dlo, and lediva) in that order all take the most shots on the team being that they tend to be the primary ball handlers. That and AD needs to be More Aggressive And Demand The Ball. And jj needs to design schemes that get AD the ball closer to the basket.

This isn’t a LeBron problem. This is an incompetent GM problem. Pelinka asking 40 year old Bron to carry another terribly constructed Lakers roster is criminal. Same thing Pat Riley is doing to 36 year old Jimmy Butler

With Markkanen, Collins, Sexton and Kessler as starters and some good players like Jordan Clarkson off the bench the Jazz should be at least a .500 team, but in our current messed-up NBA paradigm, if a team doesn't expect to me a top 4 team in their conference, then they tank.

PAY ATTENTION and STOP believing narratives just because you have hate in your heart.

If LeBron wants to play all 82 games so he can match Jordan's 82 season, he needs to be realistic in how to obtain this milestone. One way is to play 15-20 minutes per game. We are limited on our number of bigs and we need his frame. I would much rather have a fully engaged LeBron on both ends of the court than a non engaged player that turns the ball over excessively and shoots poorly and cannot guard anyone. Remember, that Carmelo had to learn to take a back seat simply because his level of play that can no longer can carry a team anymore.
