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

I think so, but it's kind of a guess. 

In theory he's a much better defender - IF he accepts the role. 
And he's clearly the better shooter off the catch. 

Those two things, alone, make him more attractive to me. But, like I said - you just don't know how it will work until they get here.

Put me in the camp of “yes” for Siakam if the price is right and we get the signal he will re-sign in the 40m range. I like what Dan mentioned about him also being a good small ball 5 option, especially in the playoffs. 

Jerami Grant is where the scouting and personal connection part of the league would come into play. I know he is well-liked as a person. But how is he viewed as a competitor. I’ve watched him since college and my impression is he’s a nice guy, everything has always come easily to him. He has put in the work to improve as a shooter. His contract runs to 2027-2028 (age 33) and increases each season to 36m. I like that he shoots well from the corner. He certainly has the athleticism to guard 3/4 and can also play a smidge of small ball 5. Just need larger guys around him in that case. 

Does anyone think 2027 unprotected for Jerami gets it done? No Green, Omax or Hardy. Would we be re-routing THJ in this scenario? Or try to do it with other contracts.
