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

[Tyler]

Long answer, the deal isn't closed yet.  So, technically we don't yet have a TE.  We have Bertans outgoing and Holmes incoming.  We can do anything else within the new 23/24 rules that we want until the deal closes.  So, if you want to add Reggie (for instance) to the Bertans outgoing and bring back something else....you can.

Exactly. And I also don't think we should assume that Holmes is here to stay, at least until after FA. The primary target for Dallas in that deal was OMax. With the deal still open, Dallas can expand it to package Holmes with other players in another move.
