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

[michaeltex]

I would rather have Timmy than Olynk.  I'm curious if Timmy has been in a lot of trade rumors due to his salary being a big filler match or the FO feels the need to move him off the team.  They have been focused on adding high character guys and Tim has always been thought to be in that category, but I wonder if something went down last season.

I've had these same thoughts. Maybe I'm wrong, but he seems like a team guy. He's been the most consistent part of the KP package. He's been moved in and out of the starting lineup multiple times and I don't remember any complaints about playing time or position. His forte is as a 3pt scorer, but he has shown an ability at times to drive to the basket. My perception is that he's an average defender, which may be good enough as DAL upgrades the front court guys. My biggest complaint is he can be very streaky with shooting. Like ice cold for multiple games. Where I'm yelling to get him off the floor. 

I think his dad has had some unkind comments about DAL (and Luka?), but I don't recall anything direct from THJ.

IMO it's not necessarily a negative to start the season with THJ on the team. Everybody understands that there are still team improvements to make and that his declining contract can be an attractive trade incentive. But maybe he's here until closer to the TDL, who knows?
