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

[RoyTarpleysGhost]

If pick 10 is kept, would you trade if for Myles Turner?   It seems like you would be buying at a premium.   Last year he was probably available for less.   I just hate trading for guys at their premium price.  He would certainly help our interior defense.  Could you get back their late first?

Would you trade it for Ayton if the Suns have a disappointing playoffs?   I think this will be a legit conversation for both teams..especially if PHX loses before the finals.  Not sure how I feel about this.

John Collins?  Straight up for pick #10 doesn't work.    There were reports he was almost moved to PHX for Crowder and a first, I believe.  Could we do that similar framework using Bullock and our 27th first?   That salary is awfully tough to swallow though.

Ayton and Collins dont seem like the type of players we need.

The positive for Turner other than shot blocking is he can stretch the floor if the Mavs want to play 5 out.   He does get pushed around a bit inside and on the boards compared to more traditional centers like Poetl and Capela.  Not sure which type of guy the Mavs will target.

Yep

We have to find a starting 4 and 5.  That's the minimum for this offseason.  That's my entire focus, more than the draft and intriguing other pieces.
