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

[cow]

The more I see these trades the more I get frustrated at the KP trade.

Yes neither team wanted those players anymore but KP was the most talented of all the players in that deal.  The Wiz were desperate to offload two of the worst contracts.

Yet instead of us getting a FRP we somehow ended up giving a 2rp?

At worst it should have been no draft compensation exchanged.  Everyone knew Dallas wanted to be rid of KP just like everyone knew Washington wanted to get rid of Dinwiddie because of chemistry issues and Bertans because of chemistry issues and buyers remorse.  You could argue that Dinwiddie is the more desirable player in that trade but both he had KP had pretty major medical red flags.  I thought we should have received the draft compensation in the trade at the time though and my stance really hasn't changed.

If Luka does eventually get traded, the KP trade really doomed this franchise.
