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

Absolutely. No interest in WAY overpaying him. I think with the contract GWill got, $16M is even high, but because the rest of the payroll is set up well, the gamble is solid.

Well, no idea what he’ll get (maybe just the QO), but it seems clear that his availability starts and ends with his opinion that he’s a $20M per guy and the reluctance of Charlotte to offer that. 

There’s obviously a reality element where he’ll have to compromise a little, but we don’t really know where Charlotte’s comfort value is. I do remember reading somewhere that they offered $15M per already.

So, it’s speculation, but if you’re only interested at $16M per, I don’t believe he’s actually available. I think if/when he wraps his head around that deal he gets it from CHA.
