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

[omahen]

I'm ok with not making a big trade. I dont think there is anything out there that makes us all that better.

I just want to add some size to this squad. I want a fighting chance against teams like Denver and Minny.  So something small like Grant for Portis. Or even a 2nd rounder for Drummond. We have to do something around the edges to even have a chance in the playoffs this year. But dont mortgage the future for a big swing.

I am out on back-up center completely. Powell and Maxi have been just fine (if not more) lately and Holmes also jumped in that game or two he was needed. 

Mavs need a consistent PF. DJJ is an offensive liability and teams will quickly all adapt Philly tactic from yesterday, just leaving him wide open. Some nights he did deliver, but they are somehow fading in my memory. I don't remember when it was last time when he had a really good offensive game. Mavs looked well last night when GW woke up offensively. Harris and Morris are a type of players he can defend well. So the big question is, do we need a stop-gap PF to more or less replace GW? I agree we are unlikely to get anyting better than a stop-gap solution this TDL.
