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

[F Gump]

Ya, I figured that out after the fact. It needs Holmes instead of Wood.

That's closer, but for reference purposes, it still lands them about 2M over the hard cap, and I don't see any other answer to make that Siakam-Capela deal possible.

The Mavs sit right now with about 11.5M in room under that hard cap line. The incoming/outgoing numbers are only about 5.5M apart, but it's a 6-for-2 trade, and each emptied slot costs 2M to re-fill (with no workaround). And because so much of the roster is on new deals and CAN'T be traded, there's literally no one else you can add except Luka.
