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

[SleepingHero]

I know another contract is needed and my hope would be Charlotte eats Holmes deal. Although I am affraid Mavs would need to add to do that. 

I am not really impressed by Washington, but neither I am impressed by Green. Taking big picture into account, it is just a move around the edges that will not erase the need for the third best player, but might make Mavs a little bit better this season. Washington can't be much worse on defense than GW and I think he can do much more offensively than the shitty GW version we see recently.

I don't think the Mavs need to add to that at all given they're giving the best player up in this hypothetical.

Also we're not replacing GW in this trade, we're replacing Green. And GW is still on the team. I know you're talking about this role wise, but production wise we're losing our lone defensive 2 guard in this deal.

Green has quietly improved since the beginning of January. he's at 11ppg on 53% from the floor and 43% from 3. Of course volume will always be an issue, but Green is a winning player. I can't say the same about PJ. 

If GW was in the deal as a 1 for 1 swap, then I can get there. But if CHA wants Green for PJ they need to pony up a lot more assets.
