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

That's only 1 FRP, the 2027.

Touche.  I forgot about the Strus signing.  I can't believe they resigned Levert for what they signed him for.  Terrible signing, but yes they'd want no part of my proposal.  I think it's equal value, just need a 3rd team with the assets CLE would want.

Luka is our starting PSF (point small forward).  Luka more than fulfills everything a starting SF does, plus more.  This gives us the flexibility to conceptionally put Luka at SF, or go big and have Luka at PG.  Losing Green means we are losing a SG, but most importantly, our POA on defense.  I would rather have a bigger lineup with Luka, an actual SF (OG type), and a G (Kyrie).

I still say if Green is going to command ~$20m/yr, it's time to move him, using Green, THJ, and 27FRP for an OG/Eason type SF, a bigger defender with some semblance of an offensive game.

Tari Eason would be perfect here.  Hopefully, OMax becomes our Tari Eason  My other hope is the Mavericks stop trading picks and start drafting more players.  I'd like us to find our own elite role players in the draft.  It's difficult to draft stars when you're not in the lottery.  We don't need stars though.  We need good role players.  Those are usually available outside the top 14 picks.
