The Heat got off to a slow start initially with Lebron, and so did the Cavs when he rejoined in 2015. It turned out fine and I'm guessing it will here, too.
Except LeBron is no longer the best player in the league.
Then he's what...maybe the 3rd best player in the league? (behind KD and Giannis?)
He takes more plays off on defense than he used to, but offensively he's still fairly close to his peak.
There's really no precedent for a team as talented as the Lakers being mediocre. They're probably going to figure it out and be a very good team, as every other team with 3 perennial all-stars has been. Old LBJ is still one of the best players in the league, while AD and Westbrook are still in their physical primes.
