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

[Winter]

The Mavs cannot trade O-Max. I forbid it.

I honestly wouldn't include Omax either. Partly because Omax seems like a PS starter kit, and partly because PS may turn into a short rental - in which case you've given away an interesting first-round pick for a half-season of a good wing who doesn't fully solve the problem in the interior.

I also think the Mavs may be looking for a more useful center, and it may be the asking price for PS takes away a real need. The idea of signing both Biyombo and PS seems like it might be within reach, but trading for say Capela and PS is simply impossible as assets would be too limited to do both. But if the Mavs have decided a good rebounding center with a multi-year opportunity to re-sign is more important than a very good wing for a short 5 months... then I completely understand it. Focus on your biggest need and stick with it.
