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

Only one of those guys is a 6’7 two way wing player who was arguably the second best player on a team that won the chip less than 24 months ago. 

I like DFS as well but he has never been close to that level. He’s an a lot more stagnant player on the offensive end.

Kuzma isn’t a winning player Imo, don’t want him here at all due to his defense.

PJ isn’t a sure thing either but a promising player with upside at a position of need, I wouldn’t mind bringing him ieither (Id even argue he can play alongside Wiggins here pretty darn well too)

Hardaway has made some progress as a shot creator but we know how limited he is. I’d try to utilize him in a trade to get more size on the wing / at forward.

Is Wiggins a two way player?  In his 10 NBA seasons, he has been a two way player maybe 2 of them.  He is currently a zero way player, terrible on both sides of the court, right after he got his big contract.  He is making over 100 million over the next 4 years, and if he decides not try like he has done much of his career (including this season) then that contract is an albatross and one of the worst in the NBA.  The red flags are huge on this one.
