DEFENSE????? That’s gotta be a joke. Lebron is top 5 the most laziest defender in NBA. He spends more time complaining to ref and flopping and getting angry to his teammates when they don’t pass him the ball than to play defense. Common yo all funny MF’s

First of all perk? Joel embiid on one leg is a way better defender than Kat is at his absolute Best. Yes he needs Bron but also father time is still a thing. Take it slow bring them both along into the regular season. Than. Bang worry about the playoffs. This year isn’t championship or bust because it’s year 1 of this title contender starting five. Make the conference finals first then see how It goes. Year 2? Will tell u everything u need to know!!

Embed is important for lebron because of his skill set. Pick n rolls pick n pops. Postups n kick outs. Watch lbj stats when he’s on the floor with JE vs when he’s not.

Here’s the concern! Who’s the clear #1 & who wants to take a backseat. And most importantly which of these offensive minded chuckers will play defense at a championship level

76 will probably miss the playoffs they have 2 or 3 players that will not stay healthy in my opinion
