russillo is the only remotely legitimate person hinting at it. so maybe but he also may just be going off the perceived smoke around it and not hearing anything concrete

I think the Russillo thing was just a Magic Johnson joke.

So are the Raptors and Clippers
Didn’t the Clippers leak that they were working on a KD + Kawhi pairing?

Bron, AD, Iggy, Kawhi. Who scores on that?


The guy Bron is guarding

I’m a Bron Stan too. But the dude doesn’t even try on defense anymore.

Clippers just don’t make sense anymore now that they missed on Butler and KD. Unless he just wants to be the man and not play with Bron.

Raptors really can’t do anything until Kawhi decides.

That team is soft as shite too. Kawhi gotta sit out half the season to be able to play in the playoffs. Davis, always nicked up and missing time. Lebron, I respect the heck out the guy, but he is gonna start to be injured more and more. give me both CC and Utah ahead of the lakers.

this isnt really true. he makes calculated decisions based on odds now. if he is in a situation where he believes he needs to play defense based on whose in front of him and where they are on the court, he tries. if he doesnt feel like the odds require him to d up, he doesnt

it has its benefits and its weaknesses obviously

How do you really know that?

Honestly, when was the last time you've seen Lebron play ANY defense? 2016...2015? It's really been that long.

Devil's advocate: The Clippers actually made the playoffs with zero stars last year. They have good young players, a great owner, Jerry West, and a great GM and AGM.

this video breaks it down well, i think

not saying its a great way to play defense, it definitely hurts team defense

Lebron had a DRPM of 1.83 last season and had decent to good defensive metrics across the board.

2016
Absolutely yes

2017 I honestly dont remember people saying anything positve or negative about his defense

2018 and 2019 I honestly dont know what people expect. He was the teams offense


I think its a little hyperbolic to say "he doesnt even try anymore on defense" in the light of saying he cant still do it
