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

Mine, too. I´m thinking Gafford + Kuzma +Morris  for THJ + Bullock + McGee + 2027 unprotected 1st. That would be the pipedream. Washington is in full re-build mode, so they have limited use for Morris. Kuzma is an UFA. Gafford might be the problem, but an unprotected 1st is not nothing to them.

There is definitely a trade here for the Mavs with the Wizards. They want picks. They don´t care about bad salaries.

172 is the first apron.

Doncic 40 / Morris 10 / Vet Min 2
Irving 40 / Hardy 2 / Vet Min 2
Green 5 / OMP 2 / Vet Min 2
Kuzma 20 / MLE 12 / BAE 5
Gafford 12 / Holmes 14 / Lively 4
_________
172.

Bam. Right on the money.

EDIT: Ah too much for the full MLE and BAE. Well replace Morris with Gallinari and you get there. Probably also a lot more realistic trade, so....

That would be an amazing summer.

Don't really like Kyle Kuzma. He's a volume low efficiency scorer who doesn't play much of any defense. Career 33% from 3, and never been above 55% TS. Why exactly do we need this on our team? I don't want someone who's a literal ball hog jacking up low efficiency shots who doesn't even really help the team on defense. He's actually exactly the type of player this team doesn't need. Ideally he goes back to the lower usage player he was his last year in LA, but that player isn't worth giving that much up for, and again, no defense. Useless addition imo, that might even be a hindrance offensively to the development of a Green or Hardy who can actually knock down shots at a much better clip than he can.
