The shooting is off the charts as you said, but man do they space the floor and move without the basketball well. Cleveland doesn't even seem to be running plays. LeBron or Kyrie just pound the air outta the ball while everyone else stands around. Everybody except JR Smith, who recklessly try to penetrate the lane instead of being himself.
I think LeBron is a horrible GM. It's showing in the 1st 2 games. Trading Wiggins for Love was idiotic. Tristan Thompson is a one trick pony who got paid because he has James's agent. How good would Joe Johnson be looking off the bench right now? They get next to nothing from their reserves. Tyron Lue is garbage as well. The curse of Cleveland lives on.
Sadly it looks like they need to start from scratch with Lebron again. Lue is getting thoroughly outcoached, so he needs to go.
Love and Kyrie are probably poor fits as well. Both are terrible defensively and they probably need more of a pure PG than Kyrie.
If they could trade Kyrie for Chris Paul, that'd probably be ideal. I agree though, Lebron doesn't know what he's doing as a GM.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
