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

We said the same about John Collins.

Looked into the Hawks on/off numbers a bit and Capela seems the common denominator for all their bad five man units.  He certainly does not function in small ball units, which we specialize in. On the other hand Bey works really well with Bogdanovic, Young and Murray. Also he´s a RFA. I doubt he´ll get more than Green, so question is what you pay and what you are willing to pay going forward. 

Ultimately with ourlimited  assets we have to focus on players like Bey. I also would like to sign or acquire all the guys that are 20/5/5 shooting 50/40/90, but for that to happen, we first have to acquire the Thunder´s 25 first round picks from the next five years.

Do we have to focus on players like Bey?  He is an inefficient offense only player.  For a team that is top 10 in offense (and would probably be top 5 if healthy) and near the bottom on defense, does it make sense to add MLE guys who can't play defense?  For example, I would much rather have DJJ next season than Bey.
