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

The financial constraints also make it difficult to give them "something more" given that they're looking at a $250m tax bill. I was expecting them to try to shed a little salary, but maybe they won't worry about that just yet.

I still like the idea of sending 19 to Washington for Gafford. If that's an overpay, maybe they would also send Kispert to GS? That would give the Warriors another shooter on an affordable contract. Or at least send those Phoenix 2nds they picked up in the Beal trade.

I think that is good way of thinking. I think 19 is a lot for Gafford. I liked him on min deal, his new contract is not that good. Never played more than 20 mpg, so I am not really sure he is a credible starter level center or more of an energizer bunny from bench. I would pay a very late pick for him. 

All in all, idea of splitting the 19 pick is sound. Lets say Indy with their late picks. One to Dallas and one to GSW.
