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

[KillerLeft]

I'm honestly on the fence of THJ for Capella.  Great teams have at least 2 superstars and at least 2 players who can dependably give you 20pts when their number is called.  THJ is our only player that gives us that right now.  Hardy will be that also, but can't be relied upon to do it now.

I’m with you about THJ, and I’ll flat out SAY that Hardy would be a drop off from him, at least for this year.

But, if you like Hardy and believe in him like the Mavs seem to, you have to give him a chance before this first contract is up. That can be argued as part of the benefit here, and surely factors into them shopping THJ in the first place.

I wouldn’t trade THJ just to trade him - that’s dumb. But, Capela WOULD start here and DOES give yet another resource that aids in the mission of being fairly competitive now while simultaneously bringing Lively along the right way.
