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

[mvossman]

Brogdon was the PG in IND before they traded him. He's more than a perimeter player, he's the Dinwiddie to Kyrie's Brunson. I would be very on board to getting him as a win now piece, especially if we were to get Capela as well, getting both without giving up too much youth would be amazing for our team's immediate needs. Keeping most if not all the youngsters keeps our future bright. Hardy and THJ for Brogdon? Holmes, Maxi and 27 for Cap (27 can go for Brogdon and Hardy for Cap either way) and we haven't sacrificed a ton of the future to compete now AND in the future.

Luka/Brogdon
Kyrie/Brogdon
Green/OMax
GWill/OMax
Cap/Lively or Powell

That's a stout 8 man playoff rotation as long as the rooks show out. Has depth in the G with Curry and Exum waiting for injury. Good depth at C. Could use another bigger wing who can hit outside shots (better than Morris) to help cover the depth needed when we go with GWill or OMax at C in the later rounds. That might have to be next offseason's target with the 2 picks we'll have (Eason after a season of being disgruntled sitting on the bench?). Man I really hope Green takes that needed step up this year!

I like Brogdon's offensive fit better than Timmy, but I'm afraid the Dinwiddie comparison is accurate on both sides of the ball.  Add the fact that he has durability issues, and I don't think he is worth Hardy or a first.  

In my mind, giving away Hardy and a first for two 29 year olds is sacrificing a fair amount of our future, and I'm not sure they are worth it.
