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

[omahen]

SA is looking for a PG. Bos is looking to trade Brogdon. SA will have the capspace to take Brogdon on. That will give Bos some wiggle room. Would want to sign Wood at lower than Williams contract, otherwise what’s the point (unless they think Wood is a better fit which I doubt).

I don't think Boston would be willing to trade Brogdon and Williams for just Wood. I still think, if contender wants Wood, he can choose the MLE way (either full or taxpayer, depending what contender has). I don't think a contender would be willing to pay him more than a "prove it" deal. 

My guess for Williams would be, that Boston would look at some draft compensation to facilitate SnT or not excersize their restricted option. To be honest, I am not sure Williams is worth more than full MLE. Huge risk paying him more than that, imho. I just don't see a third best player on a contender type in him, which would justify paying him closer to 20 per.
