In the end, I suggested this template for building an offense around LeBron.
A historic example: Kyrie Irving, Iman Shumpert, Richard Jefferson, and Channing Frye from the 2016-17 season
A current example: Dennis Schroder, Austin Reaves, Malik Beasley, and Anthony Davis. pic.twitter.com/yPgOXQoabO – 7:33 PM

Tim MacMahon: Mavs GM on Kyrie: “The things that he said along the way about how he feels here, how he feels appreciated, how he feels um, accepted and allowed to be himself — those are the things that he said kind of consistently. That’s what gives me the optimism that he wants to be here.” -via Twitter @espn_macmahon / April 11, 2023
Callie Caplan: Nico Harrison: “Luka and Kyrie work together. … I really think it’s the players around them.” Said defense, rebounding and “high IQ” players who can similarly visualize the game will be priorities for Mavs to upgrade this offseason. -via Twitter @CallieCaplan / April 11, 2023
