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

That's completely not true.  He wasn't an NBA starter-level player until his full year in DET.  They signed Grant.  HOU signed him for 3 years.  HOU traded him for a FRP.

This was the only failed stop for Wood (as an NBA starter-level player).  He's going to ball out in LAL.  Wood/AD is an amazing combo.

Had they not matched Thybulle, J.Green would be appealing to them.  I just don't know what we have that they'd want, other than the 27FRP.

I think he's worth Jaden Hardy but you'd have to find a third team who would be interested in Hardy.  I'm very bullish on Jaden Hardy but Robert Williams would be an awesome fit here and I think is one of the most talented players who's likely available in a trade right now.  

I think the following trade would work:

Dallas sends Jaden Hardy to the Nets and Richaun Holmes to Portland. 

Brooklyn sends Trenton Watford to the Blazers along with the Mavericks 2029 1st round pick and four 2nd rounders.   

Portland sends Robert Williams and Toumani Camara to Dallas. 

The Mavericks get an elite defensive center in a risky gamble. 

The Nets get a talented young creator in exchange for draft capital.  That team needs players who can create offense. 

Portland adds further draft capital.  

I think this would work for everyone.  Hopefully, Nico and Mark read this and make some phone calls.
