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

[DanSchwartzgan]

Yeah, he'll probably command a $40m-plus salary. In the same range as Luka and Kyrie, which will mean we'll likely lose DJJ, Seth, and probably Exum, plus whichever players we send in trade.
 

If the deal is as reported (Holmes, THJ and Green), that is $41.5mm of 24/25 salary.  So, anything up to that amount is a wash (other than having to add at least one salary to be at 14).  Also, Exum is signed for next year.  So, the risk is DJJ (which has always been the case).
