Since his 2nd year Lebron has always averaged around 7 rebounds a season, could we see a massive drop this year? He's playing with 3 elite rebounders:
Love: 12.5 rpg last season, 14rpg year before
Varejao: 10 rpg last season, 14rpg year before
Thompson: 9rpg last season, 9.5rpg year before
I'm thinking career low 5rpg for Lebron next season.

Re: Career low for Lebron in rebounds?
I hope so. This may be the most balanced team he's ever played on.

Re: Career low for Lebron in rebounds?
Well from what we saw he did drop weight, so I think he's going to move back out to the perimeter this year. Look for more assists/threes and less rebounds. Maybe a lesser FG% too due to the increase in outside shots.

Re: Career low for Lebron in rebounds?
4-5 rpg, he'll be battling with another rebound stealer in Love.
Expect a lot more of this next season

Re: Career low for Lebron in rebounds?
He should be letting the others rebound and flying up the wing for the fast break

you can tell by lebron's body language that he was so infuriated he did not get those 2 rebounds to get a triple double.

Re: Career low for Lebron in rebounds?
I expect lebron to be practicing gobbling up those missed FT rebounds. He wants his numbers and those are the easiest to get... Originally Posted by BlackWhiteGreen

Nah. It will all balance out once Varejao misses 45 games.

This is why I don't think the Love-Lebron combo will work. Originally Posted by riseagainst

This dude will be demanding that guys like Andy and Love clear out so he can collect the garbage on points, and rebounding.

Re: Career low for Lebron in rebounds?
The X factor for Cleveland's rebounding has got to be Andy's health. If he can play at least 65 games with a full playoff run, the rebounding with him and Love will be covered. But if Andy and/or Love miss significant time, LeBron is going to have to go inside for more boards in their absence.
If Andy, Love and Tristan are all healthy all year, I see LeBron getting maybe 5 RPG this year.
