Zion was allowed to basically sell out in rebounding to be the first out in transition while the rest of the team

the entire point of acquiring a great rebounder like Adams was, theoretically, to continue this without the negative

Getting him in those easily exploitable transition low post positions where Lonzo or Jrue could feed him on the break or across court and get an easy bucket...But we were bleeding out on defense and giving up a ton of extra chance points in the process

again, Adams solves this problem completely

No it wasn’t. It was to have a true defensive anchor and vocal court leader.

Adams can’t box out and rebound over multiple defenders, it still takes a team effort if you don’t want to be giving up extra possessions. You really want this team be letting guys like AD have uncontested chances at an offensive board because you want to leak Zion out in transition?

Exactly.
It’s why the Lakers play a center with AD so he can leak out. It’s why you see AD have games where he gets 4 rebounds.
