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

[Chicagojk]

Thanks for your perspective! 

I think staying put and therefore almost punting the season, because we won‘t be able to compete in a playoff series with the big, physical teams like the Nuggets or Timbervolves, isn’t a real option. Reason is, that Kyrie isn’t getting any younger and Luka doesn’t get any more comfortable in Dallas with another lost season.

So I really hope we get one or two trades that even out our roster, get healthy at the right time and make a strong push these last 30 games!

Good point about Luka.  Last year hurt but you got one year to stink.  You don’t get many more chances.  Now a year later and Luka needs to feel like last season.  Around .500 and he is playing huge minutes.  Lately they don’t win if he doesn’t score less than 40.

I am sure he notices Jalen is the pride of NY on a team that has lapped Dallas at this point.  Two years ago it wasn’t a contest.  Porzingis is a fringe all star on the best team in the league.  Carlisle has a team above the mavericks.  Two years ago it was a different spot.

There is no doubt the Mavs are feeling the pressure.  After saying this offseason this year will be different.  The question is if they are willing to pass on a bad deal and risk this year not getting too much better?
