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

[KillerLeft]

Do you think he's a better fit for this team?  I am kind of with you that Ayton is overrated on this board but he would still be the best center we've had since Tyson and Hardaway's role is shrinking by the minute.  If you can leverage your pick and non core assets to get a starting 4 and 5 (and it makes sense on paper and the court), I would consider this offseason a win and that's essentially what's being presented.

THJ is a team-first, unselfish, positive presence who can shoot, move off-ball, handle (a little) and plays above average defense. I take him over Ayton on literally any team. 

The biggest defensive liability on the floor is almost always the biggest, slowest guy in this high, spread pick and roll era. If you’re going to try to win with a dinosaur, it had better be a moderately priced one who plays with a super high motor. Ayton misses the mark in both cases. Adding Ayton to this team is possibly the single worst thing the MBT could do from here.
