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

[KillerLeft]

Acquiring Ayton accomplishes three things:
1) Gets THJ out of Hardy's way as the third creator.
2) Gets not only the question mark of Holmes out of the way, but also ensures that Powell essentially won't play.
3) Makes it unnecessary to play Maxi at the five except as break glass in emergency.

None of those three things would be on my to-do list, personally. But my biggest objection to this thought is that afterwards, my to-do list would have one entry: GET RID OF AYTON.
