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

[Ghost of Podkolzin]

What scares me is with Ayton, aren't we in a similar spot that the Suns are currently in?  I guess except we would have 4 youngsters that PHX doesn't have anything close similar. 

I viewed the remaining move(s) as a tough physical guy who can defend multiple positions as the last move.  Without knowing if that move was available, it makes it hard to say if Ayton is the right move.  I viewed a move like Grant Williams while keeping your pick and maybe THJ for a final move over the next year.    I think I still prefer that route, but not sure if that tough physical wing/PF is available for what I would pay.

I've been saying this all along.  Why would we not only help them get out of their predicament, but then trade places into said predicament?
