LeBron's Russ and the Lakers

The rust thing has now just taken on a life of its own. The lineups with LeBron and no Russ have been bad like it's not all on Russ but it also has now become this mushroom cloud over the team that just seems to be sapping everyone's spirit. I don't really see a solution other than they should bring him off the bench since the summer even before that. But what have you seen is there is for for a potential turnaround here I'm wondering if they just need to just not have him around.
