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

[RoyTarpleysGhost]

From the way those Stein notes are worded, it seems to me he is surmising rather than reporting.

About THJ, it looks to me like his value in the lineup is going to be bigger than what he can bring in trade, because if he's traded it would leave a big hole. I think Stein's note is reactive to that reality. At this point, the Mavs really lack SG-SF sized wings:

PG - Kyrie, Hardy, Curry [all are small, and PG-ish on the floor]

SG - Luka, Exum
SF - THJ, Green

PF - GW, Maxi, Prosper
C - Holmes, Lively, Powell, McGee

But about McGee, while he certainly doesn't seem to have a place in the lineup, I'm not sure what the point would be to waive him. Use him as trade filler? Sure. But if you're paying him anyhow ....

Pretty sure Kyrie, Green, Luka, Williams are penciled in as starters.

Trying really hard to turn THJ into a starting center.
