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

[KillerLeft]

I'm really getting to the point where I'd rather we just trade Kyrie to the Lakers in a 3-way-trade to get a sidekick who isn't injured 50% of the time. KP 2.0

I'm not hell-bent on getting rid of him like I was with Porzingis, because he seems to be impacting the roster positively, and he makes positive contributions when he plays. You can see the fit, unlike with Porzingis. 

But, your point about his availability is a good one, and this is something detractors of the trade saw coming. He hasn't put in a full season of work in a LONGGGG time. Like 7 years, at this point. He probably never will again. 

I'd move him if the right deal presented itself, but I'm not in a hurry to dump him, at this point. 

HOWEVER, this is one of the many, many reasons I believe the Mavs should continue to build with YOUTH, ignoring the Kyrie part of their timeline. Lean in on Luka's age as if Kyrie isn't there, and this roster will get healthier and healthier as Luka gets closer and closer to his true prime.
