Would the Pels be better or worse? Would they be better or worse at closing out games?

Better.. LBJ is the kind of guy that makes an entire roster better EVERY night.. AD just isnt on that level.. Hes great, he just doesnt have that fire in him that's needed to elevate an entire team

Probably Lebron.
He would have fired Dell and Gentry by now.

Probably better. I mean the interior defense with Randle and Okafor/Diallo would be just awful. I don’t know if even Lebron James could turn Hill/Frazier/Clark/Miller/Jackson/Johnson into competent players.

I think the biggest bonus would be that Jrue would probably be a destructive force on both ends.

Different positions. It’s easier for a player like LBJ to make his team and everyone around him better. No matter how great AD is, he still has to rely on the people around him to get him the ball. This is what makes a player like Jokic so rare and special. He’s a big man who has the skills to run an offense like a pg.

Better, of course.

1. Lebron is clearly the best player in the NBA.

2. One of the main issues for the Pels is the lack of a point guard, and LeBron would solve that problem.

Going from AD/Randle to randle/diallo/Okafor is a smaller gap than hill/Miller to lebron/miller

They would most definitely be better with Lebron. AD is an elite player in the league but he just hasn't proven he can carry a franchise like a Jordan or Lebron. But there's plenty of hall of famers that needed help to win a championship.

LeBron has point guard abilities. AD doesn’t. When your best player has the ball the most, your team is better.

AD doesn’t bring the ball up.

If we have the same coach would it matter?
