Sources: Lakers to start LeBron James at point guard

[moiso]

He's usually a point guard on offense but they better spend a lot of time pairing him with Bradley or Rondo who can defend the opposing point guard.

I love it. Sounds like a disaster in the making. Can't guard PGs at this point and Boogie can't start he hasn't even proven he can play 20 mpg as of late lol. Would have been smarter to put him at PF and have the offense go through him. At least him and Simmons can match up against each other for the 2 times a year they play hahaha.

Sounds like a surefire way to re-aggravate his aging groin that kept him out last year.

The media is reporting Bradley signed with the Lakers as a "point guard." But we all know Avery is not a point guard. James is the point guard, or point forward. Rondo, too.

James should play point

Bradley is now the player on that team best equipped to defend opposing point guards, so that makes sense.  The Lakers will discover this soon enough.

Where’s Waldo?  (Rondo)

[tazzmaniac]

Lebron isn't going to be guarding PGs.  He's just going to be running their offense without another PG on the floor a lot of the time.  Green and Bradley/KCP will be on the floor to guard the guards.

Makes sense. Let James and Davis do their thing and surround them with defenders, who can do the dirty work.

I'd start: James/Bradley/Green/Davis/McGee  (from what I've read, the plan is to start KCP though)

From the bench: Rondo/Cook/KCP/Kuzma/Cousins

the Lakers are an odd collection of 2 all stars, and a dozen  bench players surrounding the all stars

IMO its what Cleveland should have done with LeBron starting in 2003.

The proper starting lineup would be Bradley - Green - Kuzma - James - Davis.  That will give them the most optimal spacing on offense and the best chance to put out a decent defensive group.

Agree . LeBroid at PG is not going to work, and I hope they do it and fail miserably and wear him out.  I don't want him to win another title ever.

What he tends to do is be ball dominant and take up clock.  I hope this sours Davis on playing with him as well.   Give him time he usually either runs off other stars, or makes the team make trades that will hurt them down the road to win now.   He has already did the latter.

I guess next to AB that would be alright, but I'm not sure if AB can continue his Memphis form.

I will definitely pray for LeBron trying to guard Kemba though

Would love to see Kemba break his ankles.

[ozgod]

He may be playing PG on offense, but I doubt he's going to be chasing the likes of Kyrie or Kemba around on D.
