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

[StrandedOnBeauboisHill]

He doesn't fit this roster thoough.  He is a poor 3-point shooter.  In fact, he's shooting less than 30% from 3 this season.  That's really bad.  Would he shoot better playing off Luka?   Probably.  However, that's still a weakness.  It doesn't matter that he was once decent 3-point shooter.  He is now a poor shooter from distance.

I think even beyond whether or not he is a good enough shooter is if he is even open to being a shooter.  When you watch Siakam play, it's a lot of dribble the air out of the ball in the midpost until he gets to his spot and then he just likes to rise up against smaller players.  He won't get those opportunities in our offense (at least with Luka on the floor) and is going to be relegated to starting half court possessions in the corner whether he likes it or not.  I worry about what that role would do to his desire to actually be on this roster because we've seen that exact same story play out with Luka once before already...
