It's more of AD, I will agree to that and if I'm not mistaken during their championship run, it was really AD as their first choice in offense, even last season. The problem is that AD gets injured more often and just play minimal minutes and not 100% healthy. If he will be injury free next season then good as he will get a lot of touches in the paint, probably posting some big men. And then throw it out to their shooters for open shot, even WB can be a good option in the 3's. Or the receiver can do a quick penetration for easy two or dunks.
Seems like it, they will start to play like they were in 2020 when they got the title but this time with a slight change in their roster because back at that time, they don't have Westbrook and they got more extra players that could be reliable when one of their main line-ups is resting.
I believe Darvin Ham has a plan and part of that is utilizing Westbrook's capabilities while AD will do most of the offense, this might work. Let's find out soon, they just have to be healthy throughout the season though.
I agree that AD was a great addition to that roster and he played very well and offense relied on him a lot. But at the same time, he had a horrible season last year, and that's the main reason he wasn't the offensive focus. Lebron scored mainly, and that is a great thing for Lebron, but he wasn't enough at all, his defense also got hit by it as well.
This is why I believe that AD as offensive anchor would be great, he is also great on defense, but only if AD could score, if he fails to score then it is going to change quickly back on Lebron scoring. Westbrook is gone, so far gone that I do not even have any type of hope that he would be good eventually again.
