And then that's when the game comes to him.

But I like this.

I like that John Moran is now getting basically being the beneficiary of the work that he's putting in.

And that's his brand.

I'm still, you know, he's an NBA daily fave.

That's part of what I was going to ask, is that as LeBron James continues to cement

what he's capable of doing, it feels like each year that he remains with the Lakers, it's harder to figure out what to put around him to be successful.

We're seeing the starting lineup today with Jake LaRavia being put in it.

We've seen different iterations of this, but

Their top lineup, or what is supposed to be their top lineup, with Luka and LeBron and Aiton, Rui and Austin, they've played 85 minutes this year, and they're negative 29 together.

Their offensive rating is terrible.

Their defensive rating is even worse.

Like...

you would think when you've got that consistency and that anchor in a LeBron, it feels like, okay, we know exactly what should go around.

Like, what is happening with the Lakers in terms of, we saw this start, this strong start, especially with LeBron out.

He's inserted back in.

We've seen a little bit of up and down.

We saw JJ Reddick go off.

More than once.

More than once.
