Today, NBA legend Paul Pierce participated in Kevin Garnett's podcast "KG: Certified". During the show, Pierce said that James should come off the bench.

In response, Garnett replied: "You let him come on the bench? He can obviously still start. God, he hasn't declined yet. You want the best player on the team to come on the bench, just because the third or fourth player in your team performs better?"

Pierce said: "He can perform the same. But he is more suitable as a substitute because his style of play is not compatible with Doncic."
