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

I don't think it's ever been a question about THJ's ability to shoot the ball. He all but carried the entire Mavs sans Luka in the Clippers series in 2021.

But it's his inconsistency that drives us mad paired with lackluster defensive effort that can be targeted in the playoffs.

I have no doubts that THJ can single handedly win a playoff game, which is absurd for a role player being able to do that. But he can just as easily lose several playoff games. Hence the reason why MANY THJ haters are motivated to move off of him.

I hope THJ becomes a lights out shooter this year and helps the Mavs to a 2024 chip, I really do.

Hardy is almost ready to assume his role. I hope that happens sooner than later and I think it absolutely happens next season. THJ is a great guy, teammate, person, and locker room guy, but I don't see him has a playoff rotation player on a championship team. When he's off, he prevents winning. When he's on, he goes scorched earth. Too extreme for my taste.
