especially when you consider he volume of games lebron has played in the 18 months. lockout shortened season, finals. olympics. full season, finals. Ok with the guy resting a little bit. Not like we are devoid of talent on the wings anyway. It'll give guys like Paul George a chance to step up
Exactly!! Can't say for certain, but it is my opinion that part of the reason that the Lakers didn't make it out of the 2nd round after their last title was the wear and tear on Kobe and Pau from playing on their respective Olympic teams. I believe it to be particularly true for Pau who had less help on Spain's Olympic team and therefore had to play more than Kobe did!!
