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

Realistically speaking, despite the A+ offseason, barring any trades, once Dallas signs Powell, the starting lineup will look exactly like last season ended.

Luka and Kyrie will start; THJ and Bullock are the wings; and Powell is the center. That is until or unless someone steps up.

Green has a chance to crack the starting lineup in place of THJ but that would make the lineup even smaller.

Kleber might start over Bullock but who would guard the point of attack?

Holmes might start over Powell but is he healthy? Can he orchestrate the defense?

I think a bigger move should happen but you'll have to get value for guys like THJ, Bullock, McGee or Wood, that don't seem to have much value. Or you throw in a young player.

So if this would be really the end result of the summer, how is it an A+ offseason?  

I really liked the moves so far. But starting wing and center are the two biggest needs. If this is not addressed, they don't get a high grade from me.
