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

[ItsGoTime]

Do we really think that Ayton gives us more than Jarrett Allen?

Contract: Ayton $32.4m, 3yrs, $101.9m / Allen $20mill, 3yrs, $60m
Age:  Ayton 24 / Allen 25
Reb%: Ayton 16.4 / Allen 15.9
Def Rating: Ayton 113.2 / Allen 108.8
Net Rating: Ayton 0.0 / Allen 7.7
PIE: Ayton 14.5 / Allen 13.4
Production: Ayton 18.0pts, 10.0rbs, 0.6stls, 0.8blks / Allen 14.3pts, 9.8rbs, 0.8stl, 1.2blks

Is one year younger, slightly better rebounder, worse defender, much worse net rating, slightly better PIE, 3.7pts. 0.3rbs, -0.2stls, and -0.4blks worth $41.9m????

I think most people here agree that Allen is the better option. Many don’t believe he is available though. Ayton seems available and has rumors tying him to Dallas. That’s why this discussion has gone on so long.
