This Warriors losing streak is obviously a small sample size but why can’t KD carry a team successfully like LeBron can?

KD would not be able to take over for LeBron. That's been proven by his tenures in OKC and GSW that he is not exactly a player that will take over in leading your team. Also, he isn't exactly much younger than LeBron and doesn't have the durability of LeBron, and seeing that many players start to drop off in years 10-14, will he really be at this level in another 2+ years (which will be his 14th season)? So Lakers will have to either hope Lonzo develops to all star levels, or acquire another PG to run the offense if they're able to get a KD. Or go for someone like Kawhi or AD instead who are younger and just as talented as far as overall game.
