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

[KillerLeft]

If Maxi were outgoing in trade, wouldn't that make PJ (mostly a four/small ball center) make a lot more sense in spite of Grant's presence?

Moreover, unless they want to ditch Holmes for the sake of ditching him, that would pretty much solidify the center position across the board. Only problem is, you would still have a glut at the four that would keep OMax off the court - unless one of him, Grant, or Washington could play significant minutes at the three.

I think Omax can play some 3, sure. I just don’t think you’re going to see many (if any) situations where Luka is the second smallest guy on the court because it would kill you on defense. But maybe when Luka sits and you have Kyrie running things, sure.

How does the money work with THJ/Kleber going to Charlotte for PJ? Is there another piece they could include that would make that work?
