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

[Jason Terry]

Speaking of OO and the conversation about Lively and his time table.  OO, IF (IF) he gets to become the “starter” following a Capela trade, he will be right at 23 years old and beginning his 4th year.  He was the 6th overall pick.  He went from 12 minutes his rookie season to 20 to 23 last season.  Any reason to expect more from Lively?

This is a realistic take and probably how it plays out. 12-15min as the 3rd big plus some G league 

There’s a world though where Maxi gets hurt and Lively is the only real rim protector. Something like this is how Lively could play 25 min a game

As it stands I think we give Holmes a chance to start to begin the year and use him as an innings eater. Maxi plays the important minutes. Powell fills in whenever needed. Lively is brought along at his own pace earning minutes
