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

[ItsGoTime]

I think you are very much on an island thinking Eason has not improved his worth at #17.  

OG only played in 67 games and started only 6 games in the championship year.  Why?  Kawhi, Siakom, Ibaka, and Green all got more F minutes than he did.

Eason played in all 82 games but started only 5 games in his rookie year.  Why?  Porter Jr, Smith Jr, Gordon, Martin Jr, and Tate all got more wing minutes.  He was a rookie.  To simply say his production is in question because established, talented vets were ahead of him in the depth chart.

If you are looking for a young player with incredible substantiated stats, they we will be untouchable.  You have to mine the diamond before it's cut and polished.  Point is Eason for one rookie year compares favorably to the second year of two stud wings who are now out of our grasp.  We have to find the next OG and Mikal.

If Houston whiffs on Harden, Reaves is an incredible fit.  I really like the 3-way based upon Kyrie to LAL, Reaves to HOU, Eason to DAL.

Why are you getting in a huff in a conversation where I’m pretty much on your side of it? WTF mate? You asked what value in trade I think Eason has. I gave my opinion based on what I see. He has potential to be much better, but he hasn’t realized that potential (you yourself even said that). His stats in his rookie year coming off the bench are not comparable to other rookie stats that were starting. Why is that a controversial statement when they didn’t play against the same competition? Most of what we would be trading for is unrealized potential with a hope that he realizes it. His potential 1 year ago was as a 17th pick in the draft. In 1 year, I don’t think he raised that value.
