I dont think LeBron has ever done anything to indicate he would be willing to take a backseat....
I'm not talking about taking a backseat. He would just play fewer minutes, like 28-30 per game and sit the second game of back-to-backs. When he plays he would be a co-distributor with Garland or Rubio, whichever was on the floor.
He'll turn 38 in December. He wants to still be healthy and be a force when Bronny arrives (hopefully) in two years. He can't want to average 37 minutes per game this year and have to run the offense. I think he would love to play fewer minutes and take some possessions off, like when Garland and Allen run the high pick-and-roll.
LeBron's job would be to make those great passes he excels at to create easy buckets for Allen, Mobley, Sexton, Markkanen, and others. LeBron would take over late in close games but most games would not be close.
It has to beat playing the second half of next season for an 11th place Lakers team. Like I said, check out their depth chart.
