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

[ThisIStheYear]

I guess I'm just not seeing it in PJ Washington.  He's like John Collins.  Or a slightly better Christian Wood.  The idea of him is much better than what he is.  Tweener between C/PF.  Skilled.  Athletic.  Wants to get buckets and not really focused on being a role player.  (especially troublesome on a team with Luka and Kyrie and coached by JKidd)

The 27 pick is our last decent asset.

Fair enough.  I don’t want to waste the asset. PJ is a little bit of a projection, though I like him. But the Mavs have no reason to hold on to that asset as some kind of hedge for the future.  They don’t have one except for Luka.  When the time is right at some point over the next 12 months, they need to go all in.
