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

Watching the Magic play. They could desperately use a shooter like THJ.

Issac is playing 12 minutes per game and is shooting 35% from the field and 19% from three. Oooff. Not really a rebounder or physical presence if we’re reading into Nicos comments.

As far as physical presence, rebounding big man, Andre Drummond is probably the right cost with Lively here instead of Poetl or Gafford.  Never been a fan but he might actually fit now.

I can’t think of too many 4s in the modern NBA that are rebounding physical presence type guys.

Isaac on paper is the right 4/5 switch defender this team needs.  I just severely doubt he and Kyrie could last in a locker room together. They are diametrically opposed as can be. 

Now Drummond is a dude I've been eyeing for a while. We know the Mavs had interest over the summer. We know they wanted him with one of the exceptions. Drummond is right at the sweet spot of cost and expectation of playing time and skillset. 

I think he could probably be had for less than we imagine. And should the Mavs try and target someone else on the Bulls *cough* Caruso, Drummond could be thrown in pretty easily.
