Yet somehow Scottie pippen was able to do it with a more demanding star in Michael.
First of all, Pippen calling card was defense first, point forward second.
Secondly, You're talking about two very different players.
Next, Triangle offense philosophy is a lot different then what Cleveland is doing
The three point shot wasn't as big part of NBA offenses.
Pippen was an ideal wingman for a lead scoring guard. They complemented each other because they were exactly alike.
Love is a post player who also a great outside shooter. He is a scorer through and through.
To expect him to turn into this defensive stud that he has never been now that he's in Cleveland is idiotic, as if expecting he can drastically change as a player.
LeBron is the all around talent. If other guys can't fill certain roles, as an NBA All-Timer (which he definitely is) it's on him to fill those roles.
If Cleveland wanted a Scottie-then Wiggins would still be in Ohio.

I think we all agree on the general philosophy. The problem is that Love is a liability and plays in a system that exposes his defensive flaws. Add the championship or bust expectations and you get benched for the final 12.
Eta: what I like about your post is that you highlight a point most causal fans don't get. You don't just roll out the ball and ask them to "go shoot hoops". There's a lot to having the right personnel pieces, different offensive/defensive sets etc.
