Get AD to buy in at the center position

Let’s be honest, if the Los Angeles Lakers are going to take advantage of the LeBron-AD duo, they need to play to their strengths. And, when he’s healthy, there’s no question that AD is a menace at the center position. But the biggest problem for the Lakers has been his unwillingness to embrace playing the position full-time.

LA needs to figure out a way in which he will buy into that philosophy. No more Dwight Howards, DeAndre Jordans, or any stopgaps for that matter. The Lakers are at their best when AD is playing the center position.

Assuming that he’s going to be healthy at the start o the season, that’s the way this team needs to build heading into next season – with LeBron at the 4 and AD at the 5. Are they going to give up a few boards here and there? Sure, but they will have the best chance to be extremely lethal offensively.
