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

Let’s say I agree (I might, big fan of PJW).

What’s your plan to play everyone? You willing to start PJW at center and go small a lot (sign me up, for what it’s worth), or are you trying to talk one of them into coming off the bench? They’re not playing either of them at the 3, if that’s your move.

Remember the two Antwans back in the day? I guess it worked out in the end, asset wise, but it sure did get awkward and waste an entire season. This would be the sequel, I worry.

I'd say the difference in the 'Twans and today's roster is that neither of the teams best two players today would be ahead of GW/PJW like Dirk was with Jamison and Walker. It was awkward in that Dirk had to play out of position as well as one the 'Twans. That absolutely compromised an already weak defensive team with Nash at the point and then Dirk at C with Jamison/Walker trying to cover a PF. It didn't help that the lack of offensive opportunities could lead to even less interest in playing defense when Walker didn't get the ball. Sometimes Jamison could pout as well, but it did not seem to be as often.

That said I would be willing to see if OMax can cover 3's efficiently if we have PJ & GW working as 4's primarily.
