Your hypothesis is inherently flawed and easily falsified.
Not really. Hypothesis are done by observation, this is the second big who is taking a blow on his rep due to the fact that LeBron occupies almost too much space on the floor that relegates other star players to the perimter.
KLove now is just supposed hang out in the corner? Dude is way more talented than that. LeBron should working from the elbows, not the top of the key playing point.
Guys who pound the rock pointing to where everyone should be stifle any kind of ball flow in the offense.
Cleveland should be running what San Antonio runs, but Bron needs the ball in his hands.
When you are a great teammate, you don't need the rock.

Except the data show that most players get more efficient when they play with Lebron and less efficient when he leaves. Besides every metric indicates that the teams are substantially better with Lebron on the court than off, so obviously it is working. Sure when players like Bosh and Love go from the first option to the third, their raw numbers will drop quite a a bit. That would happen anywhere with any team. Trying to use an unavoidable decrease in production in these situations as evidence for your hypothesis is intellectually dishonest.

You're arguing 2 different things:
1) That LeBron makes great players worse. I disagree with this. Bosh was great with LeBron. He didn't put up stats, but he was fantastic for Miami. More ways to measure greatness than counting stats.
2) That Cleveland's offense is poorly designed. I agree with this. Miami Bron, posting up, moving the ball is ideal Bron on a team with stars. Mike Brown era Bron doesnt cut it. It seems like the weight loss was a signal that he wants to be a guard more than a forward
