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

[SkenfromLMF]

Collins played the worst season of his career, right now his value is at an all time low. I don’t see how acquiring him should justify moving down so many spots.

Bertans‘ contract = sunk cost anyway. We shouldn’t lower the value of #10 bc of his deal.

Yuck.

Remember when we tried to move up for Haliburton by using our spare players? Nobody fell for our lowball offer, neither should we.

Not sure you were responding to my proposal but...
Ironically, Dallas would be short of the value of trading 10 for 21 & 22, so netting 15 & 22 reflects an increase in assets for Dallas at the cost of adding Collins.
From Brooklyn's perspective 10 and flipping 51 for 46 is just shy (10 pts) of the value for 21 & 22.

IF you wanted more - arrange the trade of Bullock to BRK in lieu of McGee and have BKN ship DFS to ATL.
AFTER THE DRAFT - 7/1 or later
DAL - S&T Wood to ATL/McGee to BRK
Atlanta sends either DFS or Bey to Dallas with Capela
BRK sends Bullock to ATL (NG/Waive - Dallas could then sign Bullock back as BRK did not waive him)

THJ would also likely be involved as trade matching becomes much more restrictive after July 1st for teams over the TAX and APRONS.
