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

[mvossman]

If you are not convinced that you can beat out Dwight Powell or Richaun Holmes for minutes, I don´t want you here. I somehow doubt that´s the reason Goga, Hartenstein, Wagner and company are not here right now. It´s the Mavs never made the proper moves. The minutes argument is completely crazy. Why are we even discussing C upgrades, when apparently our rotation is so strong that only Embiid and Jokic would even consider signing here in FA. 

Why are you bringing up Hartenstein?  He wasn't available this offseason, and he cost more than we had when he was.  Wagner went for 8 mil.  Don't think this FO wanted to spend most of their MLE on a center when we already had Livey plus two others making over 10.  Powell at 4 mil made a ton of sense.  Goga turned out to be a great signing.  Good for them.  You act like there are a ton of Goga signings out there.  He was easily top 5 free agent signing of last offseason (we had two of those 5).  We were talking about bringing in a 5th center at the min.  In most cases that guy would spend most games with DNP, just like Holmes.
