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

[surfpuckmd]

2 years at the minimum. I’d heard he was hoping the Lillard trade would free up a better offer from Miami, so I guess LA had to give him the 2nd year player option to get him off the fence. 

Interesting.

I wish he had gone to Miami.  I think he will do well with the Lakers and his next contract will be for significantly more than the minimum (I'm assuming the second year is a player option).  Darvin Ham is a good coach and I think Christian Wood will also listen to Lebron and stay within his role there.  

The Lakers just increased the overall talent of their roster and that's annoying.  I'm tired of talented players taking the minimum to play for the Lakers (see Malik Monk, Dennis Schroeder and now Christian Wood).  

Hopefully, Lebron begins to show his age and they decline because of that.  Unfortunately, I think they're a top-4 team in the West and a solid contender if Lebron and Davis stay reasonably healthy.
