And there's the conundrum. If Lebron doesn't get his way, he will make life a living hell for his coach. Or in some cases he's mailed it in. So the Lakers have a choice of either letting Lebron do his thing and getting the best of Lebron (which does improve the roster but it also means making a lot of really bad moves that make it impossible to compete a few years from now) or you ignore Lebron and hope he'll put up. For an older Lebron I don't know if it's worth it to go door #1.
You're absolutely right. Lebron is a great player, but he's a terrible GM. Worse, even though he's a terrible GM he insists on doing it instead of letting his front office do their job.
