Lakers and Lebron prepping for new course of LBJ's career

Tbh shooting is gonna matter less vs teams like Boston, GS, and even Utah or OKC. Those teams run shooters off the line like no other, it's about attacking those closeouts and making the next play to find the guys who can shoot or finish inside. Also, LeBron has proven in Miami to be an elite spot up shooter from the corners because guys are scared of his blow by and close out short. His shooting has steadily ticked up every season minus a blip in 2015 due to back issues. Don't be surprised if he's one of the better shooters in the league next year. He'll roll on his screens for Rondo, otherwise Rondo will rip him a new one.

I'm excited to see how LBJ changes his game. He's always been the ultimate role player, the type of guy that just fills in the gaps on what his team needs. Someone in this thread said a leopard doesn't change his spots, but out of all players LeBron has had the most acts in his career where his role and usage from different spots on the floor have changed. Luke is a brilliant coach that I think can bring the best out of him as a finisher, which he's never been able to do. Should be fun to see a LeBron that can leverage the spacing he created for others via rolling, shooting, and posting vs having the spacing be created for him.

Those signings have some defensive merit, but lack the shooting that the Lakers need. So there are questions as to some of the pickups.

Doesn't mean its hating to ask them.

For instance the Rondo signing is kind of a head scratcher with Lonzo and Hart in town. I mean Rondo had a really nice year last season and the Pelicans are going to feel that loss, but Lonzo is a very similar player, albeit 6'6".

Ball and Rondo are nothing alike. At all. What are you talking about?
