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

[mvossman]

On another subject, am I to understand that all the dates have passed, and that pretty much anyone involved in our numerous trade fantasies over the past month are now free to be moved?

If so, it seems like this is the team going into training camp, nay?

And if THAT's so, I wish someone would explain to me why McGee was stretch waived.

I was always skeptical that some trade would magically appear when we hit a date a player can be traded.  We have seen these kind of trades get announced well before they can officially be executed if they have been agreed upon.  The stretch waive is looking more and more like an old Mavs FO move where they are creating opportunity that will likely go nowhere.
