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

Ya if the deal is Green + 27 then I'm not interested.

I agree with this. 

I know it's the summer doldrums, hot and dry with no relief in sight and only dribbles of news to work with, but the trade proposals where we are sending out Holmes, Wood, Green, etc. with an attached 27 FRP all seem like we are bidding against ourselves. There might be a September deal on the back burner, but I'd like to at least see the team through a few practices to get a feel for the potential chemistry. 

I don't know if Holmes is really going downhill or if he's better than Capella at this point but if he's motivated, and coachable, there is a chance to build something without further depleting assets. Help sometimes comes unexpectedly. Who knew DP was the gem of the Rondo trade or that THJ was the best contributor of the KP trade? Right now a lot of the trade suggestions feel like swapping used cars, you never know what's really working (or not) until it's too late.
