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

[DanSchwartzgan]

Maybe the path is getting a PF from whoever Atlanta sends Murray to.  For instance, if Dallas joins in a Murray to LAL deal, maybe we end up with Rui and Capela.  LA gets Murray and GWill and Atlanta gets picks from LA and Dallas and some crap contracts from both.  If Atlanta wants to build around Johnson, Hachimura isn’t critical to them.  But, he brings more to the table than GWill.

Actually, the way I’d do this is this:

LAL:  Rui/JHS/Unprotected 2027 out…Murray in
DAL:  THJ/Holmes/Top 3 protected 2027 out…Rui/Capela in
ATL:  Murray/Capela out…THJ/Holmes/JHS/2027-LAL/2027-DAL in

Capela and Rui are both Wasserman.  Murray puts another Klutch guy in LA.  Reeves stays out of the deal, but LA’s pick is unprotected and JHS has more size than someone like Hardy.  Dallas has all sorts of wings in Rui, OMax, GWill, DJJ, Exum and Green to mix and match with 48 minutes of center and 70 minutes of Luka/Kyrie.
