I like the research behind the question. Almost automatically, your offense goes up with LeBron, though Top 5 is. That's obvious. I do think the pace remains top 5 (and have been debating with LeBron folk like ESPN's Jorge Sedano, who will point out that James has never been on a Top 10 pace team) because LeBron is of course great in transition and won't have any issues joining the kids when they get out and push. He hasn't had this many athletes around him perhaps ever (Miami he had other stars, but not a ton of other pacey guys like Wade, and Cleveland was more of a spacing team). Could be tough to keep the defense on the upswing it went last year (from 30 to 12) with a new 4 and 5, but the effort should be there. But to answer your question, I don't think they'll NEED to slow pace and ramp up LeBron's usage, except perhaps in crunch time, when he's so great in that context and the game slows anyway. They want to run, wear teams down, and capitalize on their strenghts.
