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

You're free to your opinion. Mine is so different.

I can't get past the stark change when SD was in the Dallas system.

He was DIFFERENT in Dallas. Off-the-charts better. Two seasons, not one. One with JB, one without, but each season at a completely different tier. "Like a different player entirely" better.

.................... Overall ..... 3%
Before DAL    40.3          31.7
DAL yr 1        49.8          40.4
DAL yr 2        45.5          40.5
After DAL       39.6          30.9

I think he WAS a different player, because he was in a different role getting completely different looks and opportunities. Before and after, he's tasked to be the lead ball-handling guard, but in Dallas, he's freed to imo do what he does way better.

So I just don't see any reason why bringing him back with virtually the same role available, 3rd ball-handler, wouldn't succeed in the same way. And I would love for him to sign here where we can see if it again works like I think it would.

Dinwiddie is an downhill attack player. Sounds like almost every player should be, but clearly most are not, because if you aren‘t uber talented like Kyrie or SGA that style of play is not efficient in the NBA. But those kind of players excel because of the gravitation of Doncic. I guess the same will be true for Washington, who is an attacking forward. And it‘s the reason why Exum has the third best shooting efficiency in the league as a non-deadly shooting guard.
