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

Rather than Powell, Holmes or Vucevic... I would rather have that athletic Center from the Knicks, Jericho Sims, as a backup to Lively. He is very raw offensively but looks like an excellent defender everywhere on the court, and rebounds very well offensively and defensively. Also seems good as the roll man. With Lively, we have seen how it helps both Luka and Kyrie to have a good lob target.

In other words, Sims will give the Mavs another Lively to use.

If Lively and Sims can stay out of foul trouble for long enough to split 36-40 mins at C, with Kleber getting the remaining mins at C (and more mins at PF), I think that would be very good.

Right there with you, been saying his name on this board for a while. It’s tricky because despite the Knicks having no use for him, it’s a small salary so making the money work feels difficult with what we have, might be wrong though and not thinking of something.
