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

Well, I see the perspective you’re suggesting, but I’m not AS sure as you are that Hardy has All-Star potential. It’s possible, but I’d put the odds under 50/50. I certainly like his potential and am in no hurry to give him away (see my thoughts on any other suggestion involving Hardy this summer). But, I value the unprotected ‘27 more highly than I value Hardy, just for example. 

I think you can make an argument that Caruso is currently the best guard defender in the NBA. I’d want him WAAAAY more than Thybulle, that’s for sure. 

This is one I’d do.

I'm surprised.  He is 29 and makes Thybulle and Green look aggressive on offense.  He takes less than 5 shots per 36.  Thats crazy!  His secondary playmaking helps a little, but I find it interesting that you were not excited about paying 11 to Thybulle but are willing to send Hardy out for Caruso.
