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

He's Poison Pill and there isn't a direct one for one trade on the Mav's that works.  Maxi misses by a couple hundred grand.  So, it would need to involve more players (Holmes or Maxi plus a minor contract works).   

Not sure what possessed me to do this, but I took a look at Avdija to see if the same PP issue applied to him.  Turns out Holmes is a direct match.  Washington is so screwed with the money they gave to Kuzma and Poole.  Their future picks and Coulibaly are probably the future there and Avdija plays the same position as Coulibaly (and Kispert).  Might they be willing to move Avdija?

Avdija would slot in much like DJJ and GWill and OMax in that he's probably a 3/4 or 4/3 who can switch and plays good D.  He's much younger than Bojan and isn't as good from deep, but you can run the offense through him like you can Bojan and he plays better D.  Add Gafford to the deal and you've solved some issues.  Green for Avdija with Holmes and draft compensation for Gafford?
