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

I subscribe to more of what KL sees. Lack of motivation given the situation he finds himself mainly. I never want to fully dismiss any possibility, especially given that none of us watch him day in and day out, and even if we did, our guesses could be totally off base. That is why I try to bring things into a % of possibilities (kinda like Wemby being injury prone). I’d guess your % possibility of him being a dinosaur is high while my % is low. It’s as simple as that.

I think there is a decent chance lack of motivation contributed to Capela's down year.  It could also just be a down year.  But if we are going to give Capela some benefit of the doubt, seems like we would do the same with Holmes, right?  I realize we have to go back another year, but he had so many more reasons for his issues.  From a serious eye injury to an ugly custody battle to Sabonis getting traded in front of him, to his team going away from P&R, to an ugly liable case with a writer who basically accused him beating his child to wasting away on the bench.  I mean how many reasons can there be for a player to struggle.
