Throughout his brief career as head coach, numerous media reports indicated that Blatt’s instructions to his team were routinely ignored. Whether or not that’s true is debatable, but the fact is that the relationship between Blatt and James was an arranged marriage.
In Lue, James and others have someone that they know has been through the rigors of countless NBA seasons, both as a player and as a coach. That means that the game plans Lue implements are more likely to be followed by James, which means that the team as a whole will follow suit. As a result, the lack of inner conflict in this area will create a stronger bond.
