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

[ItsGoTime]

That's where I've landed as well on my limit for DA -- either that, or Kleber, Bullock, McGee. DA's contract is bad.

Either way, the Mavs end up with a route to possible improvement, and a much different mix.

[Do I think PHX will be interested? Probably not, unless it's the best they can do. Seems like they have to do some deal or other to move him, and are already trying to create the appearance of competition.]

But in a deal like that, the Mavs end up at a place that could offer a path to a better team perhaps.

LUKA
KYRIE 
AYTON

THJ (or Maxi)
GREEN
HARDY

FULL MLE (if Kyrie will sign for the same dollars as Luka)

PICK 10
7 players making the minimum  -- there is lots of room for some of these to play a lot, which is a potential plus in getting players to want to be here

I agree that package just seems right for who Ayton is and his contract amount. Maybe throw in the 30 second since Nico has to include one of those every deal.

That final group with THJ allows the THJ for Brooks SnT ($15M starting) deal I really like too. We’re then looking for the right starting PF (honestly, Brooks COULD start at PF too depending on who we could get for the remaining starter spot) and a good few bench players.

Are we stretching Bertans to get that Full MLE? If not we have him and the 27 first to get a mini Westbrook deal at the TDL.
