Lebron will most likely say something to the fact that he'll play 3rd option. But, LBJ, if need be, will take over when Westbrook or AD becomes stagnant, ESPECIALLY in the half court.

AD’s game is more polished but overall he doesn’t beat Giannis. AD is very promising but he needs to hit the weight room and be able to bring up the ball on his own, shake and bake, before he earns all this praise y’all are throwing at him. Giannis deserves it because I’ve never seen someone make getting 50 points in a closing finals game, on a bad knee, look so easy!

[@panthergawwwddd5887]

Listen I'm not saying Russ doesn't help this team, but the fit is indeed questionable. Russ is my fav player all time but his shot selection and decision making are not great. Not to mention that spacing is a REAL problem. One of those three is going to have to start hitting from outside on an elite level regularly and that's kinda of a tall task for these three.

[@AR-rn8ok]

Lebron gonna turn into the 40 year old guy at the gym who sits in the corner and hits threes.

It’s a fit problem for sure but it’s fixable. You have to add two shooters. One starter and one off the bench. Bron and AD have to as efficient if not more efficient than ever. The amount of pressure this team will put on the rim is undeniable but they gotta make something midrange to make it matter. It’s not the three as much as the midrange game
