Gonna need Lebron and AD to show up on offense if we're going to win this. AD has been a beast on defense.

Trade Lebron and build around Russ

LA's defense might actually be legitimately good. But they're so bad at shooting the ball, I don't think they're going anywhere.

No way Russ would've bought into it last year, it took him pretty much hitting rock bottom to accept it. Coming off the bench isn't even the big deal....he's in with LeBron & AD right now but they're allowing him to be Russ finally. I've always said, LBJ has to come off the ball.

Unplayable defensively with guards like CJ and Graham.

Davis has been an absolutely monstrous defender the last couple games.

It's not legit good lol...Our defense so far this season has been elite. Our offense has been kindergarten.
