Lakers = Done

[Mavsfan12]

The team would be best by letting RW have the ball quite a bit when he is on the court, but thank God that Lebron's ego and his hunt for all time stats is too big for that. It is going to be a disaster to have RW on the court and not let him have the ball.

I agree with this soooo much.  If I were going to say which team in the league would be the absolute WORST for RW to be on, it is likely the Lakers with the way they have constructed the team.  A team with LBJ, a great low post scorer in AD, and with all of their SIZE.  It minimizes the things he does at an elite level and MAXIMIZES his deficiencies.  And it isn't like their bench unit is better.  Who's going to space the floor for his driving?  Rondo?  its just ridiculous how that team has been assembled.  I imagine that at some point, they are going to ditch the C's and just try to RUN people off the court, because until the wheels fall off, that is the best open court team in the league.  Problem is that they are old and injury prone.  But RW off ball is just a joke.  Opposing teams have been begging him to shoot for years.

I see a huge opportunity on this team for Ellington/Monk/Dunn.  But life isn't all roses if you are the only guy on the court who can shoot.  But if the plan is to turn LBJ into a floor spacer?  RW as an addition is a subtraction.  Idk.  I guess we will see how this plays out.  I don't get it though.
