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

[Chicagojk]

People hated the Marion trade.  Great in Phoenix, but he was crap for two stops before arriving here.  He was great here.

People hated SD based on what he had done that season coming off an injury and weren't willing to look at his past work.  He was an important cog in an improbably WCF run.

Wash, rinse, repeat.

I am not saying I am all in on Kuzma.  Depending on what else is available, I don't think I would have trouble moving Hardaway (probably winding up with a third team) and 27th first for Kuzma.   I would shy away if more was needed. 

I have always been in the camp that it is important to be opportunistic but cautious.   Our move isn't happening until this offseason.    I think I can view Kuzma as opportunistic if that was the cost though.   It sort of concerns me that Dallas may be acting desperate.    That would not be a good spot with this team.
