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

[Ghost of Podkolzin]

One of my favorites for MLE Money this year, depending on what else we do, is Naz Reid.   I saw an article by Jake Fischer saying he was a target for the Suns last year.  What happens if he is over an MLE guy at around 15-17 per year.  Tough for Minnesota to justify that money with their current roster.    

So question, any way to give Naz Reid with Hardaway to PhX and Dallas gets Ayton.   Minnesota gets Maxi and ????.   Anyway for that to work without giving up #10 or our young players that would help Minny out???   Maxi and Wood seem like too many big guys for them.    Also not sure how you would make that trade legal.

Why on Earth would we want to package Naz Reid with MORE assets for Ayton????    Reid >>>> Ayton, at half the cost.  It's not close.
