I'm fine if Lebron wants to come back but I do wonder how you shape this roster to fit him and whoever he wants to play with from this current roster. I just don't know how you maximize Lebron at this age and what he actually wants to be as a player. Like does he want to run the point or be a scorer. What position does he want to play.
I think the formula has changed with how you surround him with a roster but I'm not sure anyone knows at this point what the formula should be.
I think the way to maximize LeBron at this point is almost to use him more like Joker as an offensive hub. While he might not be able to physically dominate the way he once could, his passing, vision, and decision making is still as good or better than it ever was. A Mitchell, Strus, LeBron, Mobley, Allen lineup could run some semblance of the Denver offense and be extremely good. If he continues to shoot the 3 as well as he has, he’s an ideal 3/4 for this team offensively, and Mobley/Allen can help cover defensively.
Depending on what had to be given up to get him, I think you’re looking at:
Mitchell, Strus, LeBron, Mobley, Allen
Bench: Okoro, Wade, Merrill, CPJ
Trade: Garland, LeVert, Niang
Primarily looking for a 3/4 wing defender, a backup PG with size, and a bench scorer. Bonus points if the bench scorer is either the PG or the 3/4.
