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

They probably just pencil Kleber in at PF. Then you only have four guys at Center with Powell as the starter ahead of Holmes, Lively and McGee.

Nothing they haven’t done before. The roster is finished barring the two way stuff and maybe a minimum guy.

What is this based on?  All they need to do to get the full MLE is S/W McGee.  You really think they are not going to spend the MLE or make a trade that eats into it?  There is not reason for them not to spend up to the tax line.  We are in the first two days of free agency.  There will be some free agent options out there and trades are still an option.  This is way too pessimistic, way too early.
