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

Yes we do have to focus on players like Bey, as in players that are young, might need a change of scenery, are underperforming, still have upside and might be available for cheap. I said nothing about what his strength/weaknesses overall, but you guys always want to shop in the playing-well/star window, when we are broke ass mofos. We have no capspace. We have limited player assets. We have no draft capital. We are not getting the "good" players.

Ah... Mavs will have two expiring contracts, 3 FRP and a bunch of young players in just 6 months. That is not broke. That is more than enough for a proven third best player. Mavs have two stars and a bunch of 5-8 rotation players. Mavs need top end talent, not more role players trying to put them into 3rd and 4th best players roles they can't fill. Mavs struck gold with Exum, DJJ and Lively. 3 players on cheap deals that can be part of playoff rotation. Two of them will still be on cheap deals next season. Mavs have two rookies with potential. Go for a proven talent, not mediocre players hoping they become something completely different with Mavs.

Bey doesn't fill the positional need. He would just take minutes away from Green/Exum/DJJ/Omax and a claim can be made that each of them is better or has more potential than Bey. Grimes and AJ Griffin play similar position, but at least they have years of their rookie deal left (Grimes one, Griffin 2).
