The Lakers were a top-notch defense last season but can the team’s improved depth take their offense to new heights? Specifically, a change that we already saw in the Playoffs with LeBron’s role is the path forward. Sean Davis breaks it down…

well…. we kno LEshytstain went bac on not meddlin in the fo affairs. LEgm is bacc an he tamperin yet again. cant believe genie is givin him all this power when mos of his trades havent panned out. chumps is a loser.🥴🥴
I'm fine with LeBron being more off-ball for the first three quarters but LeBron is still clearly their best playmaker when it comes to clutch time. When push comes to shove and the Lakers really need something to happen, the ball is, and should be, going to LeBron's hands.
He's literally started the last 3-4 seasons saying he wants to be off ball, it's a lie he's going to take the ball back lol
He's not just top 5 off ball he is top 5 in the nba, period.
Well said LeBron already has the scoring Title so he should have No reason to be off ball until the Playoffs.
Sean is him just like Reaves
Lebron role can’t change just like u can’t bench him the day that happens he might as well retire
In order to utilize Lebron to the maximum and preserve him for the playoffs, he should come off the bench in the regular season and play around 28 to 30 min a game. Lebron doesn't impact the game much in the regular season anymore and he plays nearly no defense when the playoffs haven't started yet. He'll be better coming off the bench for the scoring for the second unit.
WHAT'S UP LAKERS NATION?! 💜💪💯
All i care about at this point is lbj and ad getting and staying healthy.
111th comment. Lebron is that dude!
I’m so glad someone finally disparaging this Lebron doesn’t play well off ball nonsense,if he’d played his entire career with a true point guard like CP3 or Rondo he’d have averaged over 30 ppg every season,this is why I respect this podcast more than the troll shock podcasts
More Sean!!
Lebron is the smartest bball player in the world bar none….so he can ofcourse excel offball and infact he should have a lot more offensive touches in the post ….
This guy doesn’t know what he talking about u can’t run A offense through a player who is not dependable
Use him as a roll man & in the post more
100% lakers winning it next year. no cap. just psychic. i know the future.
Offball – Roll to the rim and fade. I feel like he could've did well as the point center against Jokic, it's like two rebounding point guards against eachother. AD just needs to get it together. Make AD and Bron attack the rim and let DLo and AR15 be shooting guards.
I got many ideas, i want Bron to take the three more again.
Great job sean
Three ways to conserve lebron energy esp reg season, 1. Less on-ball on offense, 2. Less on-ball on defense, 3. Reduce playing/running full court esp on fast break… love to hear your analysis on 2 and 3 as well
Yea that say'N more hands to help carry tha load…makes tha load lighter…this squad starting from day 1 should help with how JAMES will see where an how coaching can try an play him off ball…he can't play to much decoy as his strength for tha squad is get'N to tha line an pounding that paint wit AD if tha 3 is roll'N or to get it roll'N…one thing is fastbreak should be 1 of strength cause that would mean we're hit'N hard on defense…JAMES off ball might help him in tha long run during tha season…1 thing we do kno he can adjust…
Run the offense through Reaves, Hachimura, and Davis …
PG – 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀 —– 𝗥𝘂𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗹 — Schifino
SG – Vanderbilt – 𝗩𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘁 —- Christie
C — 𝗗𝗮𝘃𝗶𝘀 ——– Hayes —— Thompson
PF – James ——- 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗲 —– Reddish
SF – 𝗛𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗺𝘂𝗿𝗮 – (Reaves) – Lewis
I will say this magic Johnson came in got Anthony Davis got all these players won a championship first year and Rob pelinka put him down talked s*** about him and he can't even win a championship if you don't win a trip this year he should be out of there get magic Johnson back in
Rob pelinka talked all that s*** about magic Johnson and can't win a championship
I want to see LeBron getting a lot of assists opening him up to score.
😂 👑 🥔
Hey Sean what happened to ur Tiny microphone 🎤! Vv
At this point in his career Lebron plays much better in the paint than he does out front.
Still twitter
I'm all for reducing LeBron's minutes and less on ball responsibilities but he should not shoot too many 3's. There are players on the team who are BETTER in 3's%. So no more of these ego bricks.
Good stuff!
It’s still Twitter
Lebron's role will be 25,8,7. Book it
They got to win as a team. No reason not to set plays with LeBron as a decoy, maximize the roster.
When guys get hot, feedem
