The scout said: "The starting five composed of Doncic, Reaves, James, Rui Hachimura and Ayton cannot compete for the championship. The defensive capabilities of these five people are simply a mess. LeBron may be able to do something when he gets serious, but he is 40 years old. , You have to reduce his burden."

"Trade for players like Herbert Jones so that he can make up for the defensive holes of James, Reeves and Luka."
