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

[SleepingHero]

I’ve been preaching a while about the same agent relationship with the Phoenix FO as Beal.  But, after adding Beal, is THJ a positional fit?

Hardwood Knocks host does not like the idea of giving up Maxi and Reggie in an Ayton deal (and certainly not Green).  Dallas doesn’t need to give up D.  His suggestion was THJ/Bertans and 10.  Personally, I like doing one of the trade downs first and grabbing an extra pick.  Send Bertans to Utah for 16/28 and Olynyk with THJ, Olynyk and 16 going to Phoenix and Dallas keeps 28.  All of the best Dallas defenders are retained, we get a pick and we get Ayton.

This really depends on how draft night goes for me honestly.

If Hendricks is there at 10, I'm not trading down and just taking Hendricks. I'd give THJ and whatever else for Ayton. I don't really think the Suns are interested in picks anyhow.

Regardless, I wish I could like your post twice.  Even if we've already discussed it, I love the idea of just getting a good center and finding a way to retain talent.
