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

Dante Exum looked good against Finland.  Giddey got into foul trouble in the third and Exum took over at point and seemed capable.  He was able to get to the rim multiple times.  He hit both his threes and the form looked nice.  He scored 10 points on 5 shots.   Had a nice assist on a drive and dish.  He might serve as our emergency third point guard.  I think he’ll be in our rotation and we’ll be grateful to have a team option on him next offseason.

I think he is the plan for third point guard.  I think the hope is that they can get away with a Exum/Hardy combo where Exum plays generic PG and point of attack defense and Hardy generates a lot of the offense as 6th man type.  Its a lot better plan than what we had the beginning of last season.
