One of the most interesting off-season ideas may be moving LeBron permanently to PF. I think he's closer to 6-9 and with his height and bulk should probably be playing there. There are few PFs in the league who can take advantage of him in the post and almost none can guard him. Heck if LBJ at the 4 against the Lakers you knock out the twin tower lineup just like that. I can't imagine Gasol does to James on offense what LeBron would on the other end. Even K.G. would look like a joke.

I really do think a point power forward would truly be devastating, especially if he gains a post game when other teams go small. Imagine if he were next to Rasheed at the five. The rebounding and interior D would be decent but not great. Say you play great defenders at the 1 (West is pretty solid)- say a Richard Jefferson at the 3 and you trade Mo Williams for a legitimate defensive 2 with a shot you'd pretty much nail most teams silly on offense.

I can't think of many that could guard that group. They'd take Garnett and Perkins right out of the paint against Boston and cause their entire scheme to collapse. Heck maybe only the Lakers would have a shot with Odom on James.
