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'm going to cut thru..

The problem back then was--- the franchise player was a PF, and all 3 of ém PFs are known for their scoring.
And not one of ém is known for defense.
All 3 needs to score to be effective.
That's never going to work.

As for the PJ-GWill-Maxi trio:
Maxi is the first big off the bench, and you send him in to slide down PJ to PF, or push GWill up to PF and let PJ take his first rest at the 8th minute mark.
It's going to be a small frontline, but I'm already seeing the value of PJ at C in the playoffs. Mavs would no longer be at the mercy of Maxi bringing his A game every night in order to neutralize every opposing big. PJ and Maxi could drive off bigs as early as game 1 of a play off series.
