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

[SleepingHero]

I am so sorry for you, SH, that the team you follow has time and again prominently utilized a player in their attack who you despise this much. Truly, I sympathize. It must be hell.

If I felt that strongly that the team was hurting themselves by featuring a player when they’d be better off simply waiving him… I don’t know, man. I think I would follow a different team. I will probably do that myself if Kidd doesn’t get the axe pretty soon, but I don’t think he has much more than a season in him. I think this time next year it will be obvious that he is on the way out.

What’s kind of funny is that if Dan is correct and Hardy is about to be traded, I think there is an outside chance that Hardaway outlives Kidd here. I don’t think he will, but it’s funny to think about, especially in the context of this board’s temperature.

I've followed the Mavs my entire life and I'm not going to stop now because they've featured a losing player for 5 1/2 years and I find it pretty offending you would even suggest that to me. 

Further, the words "despise" "hate" are ones I've never used in this conversation. All I've said is that the Mavs would be better off if they got rid of THJ as soon as possible and should replace him with a bigger guard that can facilitate. I showed you simple stats to back up that claim with the evidence being the 2022 run. I showed you THJ's stats of how inefficient he is offensively doing anything other than spot up. I never even touched on his defensive deficiencies and we both know there is a lot of material there. 

And the team would not be better off waiving him because then his contract is just wasted space. If they could amnesty it, then I'd be for it.
