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

[omahen]

Then don't do it.  Let somebody else get involved.  I could definitely see where Atlanta has a higher asking price straight up than they do when facilitating getting Siakam.

I am not sitting at the negotiating table. I am just trying to gauge the final value. But from my position, Mavs with Capela are far better now than Mavs without Capela. And I do care about now, because Irving is not a long term play and because Luka might be on his way out after another season like last one. I am not willing to give full 2027 FRP for just Capela, but I don't think 2 SRP gets me to the table. I would like to be at the table.

Atlanta doesn't need Dallas if all Toronto demands is 2 SRP to take either Capela or THJ contract - I doubt they put much difference in their value. Similar contract for similar money. Lets be serious about this. Atlanta has plenty of SRP to pay that cost. Toronto demands either serious assets or salary reduction. Mavs can't really help with that, so another asset is the only way to get to the table.

Yeah, if I’m Toronto, I want Bey to replace Siakim.

Hm. I think Toronto would play PG (Schroeder), GTj at SG, Barnes, OG and Poeltl. I doubt they need a Siakam replacement in the starting lineup. And they are getting Hunter anyway.
