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

The question with that deal has always been 'plus what?'.  Bertans doesn't trade match Collins.  So, is it Bertans plus Green plus 10?  Or, Bertans plus McGee plus 10.  I'm great with the McGee version, but why do they need Capela, Okongwu and McGee?  I can live with the Green version (if you tell me who we are getting at 15 and who is playing center going forward), but it hurts my heart.

That's why I've always thought Reggie/McGee/10 for Capela/15 was the more likely deal.

ATL is the one that's desperate to move up and get off Collins. No shot Green is included in any fashion. Collins contract is also much worse than Bertans. There has to be more here for Dallas

I think the simplest deal for all parties is 10+Bertans+McGee+Reggie for 15+Collins+Okongwu 

Hawks save about 500k next year in salary and have the potential to save a crap ton more if they S/W Bertans or Reggie. Essentially a get out of cap hell free card given and they get a nice party gift of moving up 5 spots.
