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

[ItsGoTime]

You can’t have consecutive years out into the future without a FRP. Because of the protection on the pick we owe the Knicks it means it could technically end up conveying in 2024 or 2025 so both those picks are off limits and because you need to have a FRP available every other year it makes 2026 off limits. Because we traded 2029 for Kyrie it means 2028 and 2030 are off limits. 

Probably should have been a little more diplomatic about calling you out but you post a ton and the state of our assets has been spoken about nonstop. It’s essentially at the foundation of every conversation we have here.

Yep, because of that, we have the 27 we can trade, it should be unprotected cause it can’t go to 28 due to 29 being gone. Next year, the 24 will convey and we’ll have use of the 25 and 31 for trade, so there’s little reason to hold onto the 27 if we find a trade that will upgrade us next year.
