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

[SleepingHero]

It's the first idea involving '27 I've read recently that I'd even consider. 

His contractual status gives me a bit of pause, but if I had reasonable assurances that he wanted to be in Dallas long term and could see a way to lock him up without crippling the franchise, I'd be for it. 

I do not believe Toronto would trade him for that package, however, since they likely turned down better ones this summer.

I think we're kind of in lock step here. This trade for me is 100% worth the 2027 FRP. Even if OG wants a max contract, at this point the Mavs are in desperate need for a guy like him. 

I also think Masai would hear the Mavs offer, die of laughter, and promptly hang up the phone. But one has to wonder how long he's going to dangle OG in the hopes of getting a superstar package that's never going to come.
