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

[Chicagojk]

Im a THJ critic...but like the way he is playing thus far this year...

Is THJ gonna be one of these players we let go for cheap and then watch some other team flip him for something far better than we got for him?

It just seems like that is going to be the case.

We flip him...he goes on heaters and some team flips him this summer for good return after we couldnt do it for 3 years of trying.  Looks so predictable.

He has been good.    I just don't think he is in our long range plans and is always an odd fit trying to play him with our finishing group.  It just makes us really small.   

Mavs have supposedly been trying to trade him for a few years with limited interest.  I think you can loop him in with Buddy Heild, Trent Jr, Clarkson, and a few others.  Hardaway probably better than some, worse than others.   Those players typically don't bring a lot back in return though in trade.   

I would be surprised if Hardaway goes somewhere else and plays better than he is currently playing.   I think he could help a contender though....but so could those other names above.
