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

[surfpuckmd]

All good players, but I do not believe any of them can play the 4 during any meaningful stretch of minutes against a good team. (I know Stewart the least, to be fair, so I'm just guessing on him). 

They also don't appear to fit the "guys at least 6'8" who can dribble" criteria we've been discussing. 

I don't believe backup center is the right place to look.

WCJ can definitely dribble.  He's not Kyrie but he has pretty good handles for a big...almost as good as Naz Reid who would work well here.  WCJ's issue will be if he can defend the perimeter.  I am much less certain of that.  WCJ would hide the weaknesses of our forwards who are small and don't rebound.  I think we definitely need another center.  The issue with a THJ for WCJ trade is that we don't have anyone who replaces THJ.  All of Jaden Hardy's potential seems to have dissolved this year.

I also know the least about Stewart.  I like his advanced stats, rebounding and 3-point percentage.  I haven't watched many Pistons games though.  I've tried to watch a couple but I think watching the Pistons could quickly lead to depression so I stopped.
