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

[KillerLeft]

That is Wood not wanting Det, not how DFS98 explained and lumped Det into the teams not wanting Wood back though. There is a difference. Maybe Det will never want him back at this point, but to say they didn’t want him back then and adding that to the narrative of his career is just false.

I don't know that I agree, sorry. Again, you're arguing a technicality that I find disingenuous. 

If (going by your memory, I don't remember it this way) Detroit SAYS they'd like him back, but then gives the money and role he wants to someone else, I don't know that this information actually lines up. Seems kind of like the Mavs wanting Dragic...IF he's willing to admit he's a geriatric and is only coming to waive a towel. That's basically the same as saying you don't want him, to me.

We had a similar argument back in the day (not you and me, necessarily, but certainly I remember Kamm being on the wrong side of this one) about Chandler during the summer of 2011. "Hey, Tyson, we know you just won us a ring by proving to be the piece we've been looking for all these years who can do the dirty work down low, freeing Dirk up to do his thing, and we'd love to have you continue doing that for us, but only for one year, because next summer we think we have a shot at Chris Paul and Dwight Howard, so, you know...we obviously can't pass that up. You're fine to re-sign for one year and THEN get lost to try to find a multi-year deal somewhere else after what will probably be not quite as magical a season, right? RIGHT??? 

With (I presume) a straight face, there were people back then saying TY left the Mavs, not the other way around. WILD.
