About the play, I wonder what Lebron's role would be this time. It is good for Westbrook if he will be the primary ball handler since that is his natural position. And if AD stays healthy, it will be a lethal combination. But if LeBron will also be handling the ball, then it will be a conflict and they will have the same result as last year.
Surely, there's no way LeBron James will adjust in terms of role. Can't see him doing that as the Lakers offense is effective when he's the one primary handling the ball and he was used on doing it since then. Westbrook should try to adopt being the backcourt duo instead since after all, he already has experienced playing with other players who also has the same role like James Harden in Houston Rockets and Bradley Beal in Washington Wizards.
I was thinking it is better for the team if Lebron adjusts his role since he can play 4 out of 5 roles. He can easily transition from one role to another, better than forcing Westbrook to adjust. They already know what happens if they do that. They have last season as a reference. IF they want to run this team again, they better do something they have not done before and more aside from keeping the 3 of them healthy. Anyway, let's see what the new coach has in mind this coming season.
I think Lebron did that last season, he let Westbrook anchor and facilitate everything. And there were times that he is effective, but in short Westbrook was inconsistent. That's why Lebron needs to take over at certain games and he can only do that much.
So it is AD that is the best fit for the role of being their first choice to score. And they want Westbrook to be a corner shooter specially 3's because if I' not mistaken, he has like 40% shooting in corner?
