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

[KillerLeft]

DJJ is a minimum level 12th man player and Williams has to show he can carry bigger minutes. Washington has much more potential. It´s dumb to pass on talent, because you have some rotational pieces in the same positions. But then that be arguing with some people that said Powell is better than Randle and Kleber is better than Markkanen.

I realize you're basically calling us all dumb, probably myself included, so maybe I missed this, but what makes you think the Mavs "passed" on Washington? Are you privy to some sign and trade that was considered by all three parties but ultimately turned down by the Mavs? 

No argument that Washington is a much better player (now, and potentially) than DJJ, but resources aren't infinite. I certainly wasn't comparing the two, just pointing out that when the summer started, long, versatile 3/4/5 types were basically nonexistent on the roster, and now there are several. It's no longer a huge, pressing need (though pro sports teams should ALWAYS be thinking of ways to upgrade, of course).
