Trade & FA 2023-24: Stein-Ingram Trade Inevitable| LAL Want Lebron Back On Any Terms

[KillerLeft]

Another way to save money is to answer ‘none of the above’ to our UFA current centers.  If we trade for one and still have Maxi and McGee, do we need either Powell or Wood?

Depends on the one they trade for, I suppose. If it’s a bonafide starter, someone who’s going to play 30-35 minutes like Turner (just an example, not who I think it would be) then no, I would think Kleber being the only higher priced backup big would make a ton of sense. In fact, in that scenario I’d STILL want to dump McGee in favor of a MINIMUM salary 3rd center.
