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

[surfpuckmd]

So how do we fit the huge gap of 4k minutes of PF/C here?  Well, if we're filling in minutes with rookies in OMax and Lively, not to mention Holmes is Lazarus, we need some real deals.  

- Zubac, 29 mins in 76 games.  2.2k mins.
- Z.Collins, 23 mins in 63 games, 1.5k mins.
- Eason, 22 mins in 82 games, 1.8k mins.
- PJ.Washington, 33 mins in 73 games, 2.4k mins.
- C.Wood, 26 mins in 67 games, 1.7k mins.

In a perfect world, I'm going after Zubac and Eason.

I think Tari Eason would be a perfect fit here.  Unfortunately, he is not available.  

Unless the Clippers decide to blow it up, Zubac isn't available either.  

Zach Collins would be fine as well.  He probably is available.  I think he is just good enough to require an asset to acquire though.  I don't think he's good enough to justify sending our 2027 pick out.  We don't have any 2nd-round picks to trade.  I don't see how we can acquire him.  I think the same about Daniel Gafford-  would be a good fit but we don't have the means to obtain him.
