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

It´s not a smart business decision. NBA market only offers 30 possible employers. Burning bridges isn´t helping him. Add the networks of involved GMs, coaches owners and the situation gets even worse.
I wasn´t a fan but even I can admit that he is more talented than most minimum players. Hard to believe that his talent isn´t at least somewhat intriguing for most teams but if we can trust the rumors no one except for Miami and LA was interested. Why?

Throwing shade is not a good business decision for either side of this, player or team, in this case, while he was a Mav, he kept his mouth shut until he wasn’t a Mav (publicly of course, there’s no doubt in my mind at this point that he was upset behind the scenes, but he was still professional about it). Sure, that burns a bridge to a team he obviously also wants nothing to do with anymore. All he has to do is show the ability to play well within a team system for a couple years and he’ll be back up to a MLE player.

It was also shade thrown at Kidd more than the franchise as evidenced by the first part of the quote talking about coaching. I’m very sure he’s fine with burning the Kidd bridge.

I just don’t understand how you can gloss over the season-long AND into the offseason (Cuban’s comment was just earlier this week!) shade that was thrown his way from coach and owner and come away thinking the player is so wrong. It’s like someone constantly slapping you in the face and when you finally slap back, they take offense.

Also, Det wanted him back, just not for the money Hou was willing to pay. They also didn’t give him the (at the time) opportunity to make the playoffs either. That was the story I remember.
