If we’re just gonna get to pick a model irrespective of the ability to do so, we should just go with the model that gets the best 15 players in the world

This model was the best build but we have a completely different Bron and AD now. They’re older and have different strengths.
Put it this way, AD was basically the same age as Tatum is now.

I cannot believe they didnt run this squad back, the dumbest shit. This was a SQUAD

I think over anything, Coaching, superstar, this or that… we just need another solid fucking big that can establish a true old ball style of paint protection. AG wouldn’t have been getting 12+ points a game off dunking alone if we had an anchor big like that so AD can roam/help where he’s needed. We’d truly open so much room with just one beefy ass big. That’s a thing too, weight. All of our 6’10+ are relatively skinny. So if we had another tall + heavy defender this team could go miles.

Having Dwight and Javale was a nice tool to have in the toolbox. The lineups with 2 bigs also really struggled offensively (remember the whole thing about the Lakers always going down 10 in every 1st quarter with the starters in?), and by the end of the playoffs it was clear that the best version of that team had either Markieff as the other “big” or Caruso in with AD at the 5.

Lebron didn’t want to be the primary ball handler anymore (understandably), so this is not a realistic ask.

This model is irrelevant now

Since 2020 Lebron and AD is still the best and the most potent duo in the post season. Not Tatum and Brown, not Jokic and Murray, not Luka and Kyrie. The only problem is the rest of the roster sucks to the point that we have the limited Reaves as our best option next to Lebron/AD.
The roster was so different and awful that Lebron and AD had to change their game, we needed Laser per Lebron, but we’re getting nothin so Lebron had to become one, Pelinka can’t provide AD with proper center so AD has become one. There’s no more 2020 championship DNA, Pelinka totally wasted that one stone that turned into gold and he’s never going to recapture it.

I feel like Pelinka built that squad by accident. Because he went away from that formula right away and has never gone back to it
