LeBron Brings His Game and Activism to a World Craving Both

By 1 Comment

I agree the Lakers do have a natural conflict in what kind of supporting cast they need because of the difference in age and number of years remaining in careers between LeBron and AD. 8 years is a big difference.

I also believe having a mix of younger players and seasoned veterans is important. You need that mix to win. I think young core’ is a misnomer for the Davis, Kuzma, Caruso, KCP, and Avery, who are all in their mid to late 20’s. Our young core’ is THT. Period.

And while I like them, they were not enough alone to win the championship. They also needed the seasoned vets like LeBron, Rondo, Morris, and Howard to accomplish that.

Having said that, I’m not a fan of going all in with nothing but vets to win it for LeBron. We need to balance it and keep adding players who are AD’s age so we can transition. Young players like THT or whomever we draft are likely at some point to be trade bait.

I’m in on rolling it back because continuity is a big part of why we have such great great chemistry but torepeat and threepeat, we’re going to need a third star and I probably a guard because every great team has had a great guard. Although I do think Wood could be a difference maker but that’s only because we have the worlds greatest point guard in LeBron right now. The AD era will need a superstar guard.

So much as it’s fun to want to roll it back, the competition will be greater and the Lakers will make a big trade. You can bet on that.
