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

[KillerLeft]

Dejounte Murray quit playing defense years ago. Still has that reputation among some people. Yeah he’s younger and taller than Kyrie but not really worth the organizational shakeup.

I have the same question about Jerami Grant. Is he willing to go back to playing defense? Seems like once guys hit 20 points per game, most of them forget about the other end.

Nuggets had three guys in Aaron Gordon, KCP, and Brown that didn’t fancy themselves as stars and bought into their roles.

Also, it seems like Murray's number one offensive skill is mid-range pull-ups off of screens. Not sure that's the best thing next to Luka, since that's the main argument being made. Yes, that's a skill for Kyrie, too, but it seems to me that Kyrie has a way better off-ball game. 

Two your last two points:

I agree with the worry on Grant. Denver Grant would be ideal, but he liked that role so much that he left for a different one at his first opportunity. To Detroit, of all places. To me, that means he wants to be a featured offensive player more than he wants to be on a good team (or at least he has for the past few years).

Terrified that we’ll start hearing Draymond/Mavs rumblings soon.

Be prepared.
