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

I don't care what anyone says. This was a desperation move trading for Kyrie while gutting a roster that was already flawed before it happened. They got lucky last year, they exposed Phoenix's weaknesses and everything clicked and they made the WCF before losing to an experienced GS team. It all changed when they let Brunson walk, and they didn't improve the team defensively along the fringes. Now they are worse off than before the trade, and Cuban is going to have to empty the coffers to pay Kyrie just to save face. And as unpredictable as Kyrie is, if he doesn't like what Cuban offers, he can still walk. He's already leaving himself a way out by saying this isn't what he expected when he came here in his presser after the Philly loss. This won't be an easy fix anytime soon.
