I guess that LI addicts would start playing LP, making it a dominant tactic. Managers, who were able to find smart alternatives to LI, use them even without such a threat.
I have to disagree. I have tried LP before and my PG/SG never went inside. The main reason LI is so dominant is because of the G's slashing to the basket. I had a PG with 15 IS and 18 driving and he would never go inside while playing LP. He would rack up a ton of assist passing to the PF/C but never go inside.
Long story short...LP would never be as dominant as LI.....in my opinion.
