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

[DanSchwartzgan]

J. Grant has averaged a 77 and he's locked up for a lot more than $25mm/year.  Kuzma and PJ don't come close to this type of average EPM over the last four years.

Wanted to clarify something.  While I prefer WCJ to just about anyone, I’m not anti-PJ.  If the deal were GWill plus Hardy (keeps us under the tax this season and upgrades GWill while not using the 2027 first), then I’d be in.  I actually think that may be one of the more likely ideas out there as I can see a world in which Charlotte would want to take on Hardy as a Rozier replacement.

I’m also in favor of J Grant and would include the 2027 pick for him.  But, that gets more complex because of what he makes and the fact Portland already has so many guards.  Would they really value THJ/Hardy/Green?
