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

[Mavs2021]

Here's what I think needs to happen, if Mavs are to be involved:

Mavs send a C and an experienced wing, get a C and a less-experienced wing. This way each team gets a replacement, so there's no hole left afterwards.

Mavs - send McGee, THJ
Mavs - get Capela, one of Griffin/Johnson (or maybe Bey??)

Mavs are eating the Capela contract for ATL, in exchange for ATL doing somewhat the same for diff players from DAL. The money is very close to equal. Mavs could add a 2nd or 2, as needed. Who goes to TOR (if any) is up to ATL/TOR. And off we go.

If TOR is the intended destination for THJ, there's the option to sub in Holmes instead of THJ, and the money still matches but it's smaller salary.

I doubt Atlanta is taking back anything, but expiring contracts, which Toronto has plenty of in GTJ, Young, OPJ. If the Raptors were willing to take Capela this would be a very simple deal.
