Karl-Anthony Towns shines in return to town | Lakers looking for trades?

So I think clearly there was some internal discussion to get LeBron more involved and The issue is LeBron then went on arguably the worst slump of his career, or at least the worst slump since his rookie season. And the offense just fell apart. And I think there's been an acknowledgement, especially dating back to last week with the whole NBA Cup schedule and them having some time off.

of we need to get back to playing the the offense that we were playing earlier in the season so we do need to find that balance of keeping lebron happy and making sure he's getting his pick and roll reps and he's playing the spread style of offense that he likes to play but at the same time we need to keep ad involved he's our best player he's our offensive fulcrum and we need to make sure that that we just got to figure out a better blend between the two and not be so uh you know such a stark contrast in terms of how the offense looks night to night so uh

Interestingly, their defense that they've had their last three games have been their three best defensive performances of the season from a defensive rating perspective. So the defense is trending in the right direction. The offense continues to be a mess. And if you look at this group, it's an offensive minded group like but beyond LeBron and AD, it's.

Austin Reeves, Rui Hachimor, D'Angelo Russell, Dalton Connect. These are all guys who trend more toward the offensive end. So I think if this team is going to hit their ceiling, it's got to be behind a top five, top eight offense at worst. And right now, they've been an average offense for going on almost a month.

So they got to figure that end out because if they're not an average offense and a bad defense, that's just a bad team. So I think they got to get back to doing what they were doing earlier.

LeBron & Lakers “embarrassed” | Pacers struggles continue

And similarly for almost different reasons. I mean, again, like tonight against the Brooklyn Nets, they score a season low in points in the first quarter. When they were in Memphis a few nights ago, they scored 45 points in the first quarter. So different personnel at times are being run in and out. The injuries, I do think, have played somewhat of a part.

Here in Brooklyn, you're watching lineups who are at the same time. Enrique Freeman, Johnny Furphy, Jairus Walker are all playing at the same time. That kind of led to the initial slide in the second quarter before the starters came back in and the turnovers and the ball was being thrown around like people throwing a beach ball at a concert. But there's just a lot of inexplicable qualities.
