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

Hard to assume that Lively will be ready in 2 years. He's talented and the chance is there, but I doubt that he can be a championship caliber center in 2 years.

Poeltl is closer to that and he's worth a first. If Lively does somehow turn into that, then great, we can either flip Poeltl for someone or Lively for even more.

After listening to Cuban, I'm think they are planning for Holmes to be the starter.

I also think they want to get Lively consistent playing time, whether with the Mavs or their G-league team.  Just helps accelerate his development.  And who knows?  Maybe he can earn 20 minutes a night.
