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

[mvossman]

As president of the DJJ fan club, I'd like to take a bow.

I never imagined he'd start here but the fit on this roster seems really good.

I do wish we signed him to a multi-year deal at more than the vet minimum.  I hope we can re-sign him this coming summer.

I was definitely a member, but in two games I have gone from complaining about him starting to wondering how we will hold on to him.  As Dan mentioned, we will have exceptions available and hopefully this team will show enough to warrant going over tax next season.

He’s showing signs of being a great pickup this year, and I too have thought about the 1-year deal, and how they won’t have his bird rights. 

But, I think at the end of the day he’s just a placeholder in the rotation for O-Max. It’s possible he’s a one-year-Maverick.

If he keeps playing like this, I would be happy with both.  Based on what little we have seen, I am not sure OMax is going to be fully ready by next season.  He might be a longer term project.
