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

[Dahlsim]

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.

Yup.  Strategically, I would have resigned Wood to some more than min number just to keep him off the Lakers.  

Now LA has that talented big behind their oft injured star AD.
