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

I'm not wild about any deal that doesn't turn THJ into a longer, more physical, more athletic starting Forward.

I'm totally fine with GWill and DJJ as backups but if Dallas is starting and closing games with Luka, Kyrie, Exum/Green, and Lively, the lineup needs more length and athleticism than GWill can offer and more physicality and floor spacing than DJJ can offer.

We should be able to land one of Kuz, Wiggins, PJ or similar with some combination of THJ, Hardy, OMAX, 1st and filler. A deal has to start with THJ. It's just a matter of how more much we give.

Why does it have to start with THJ? That’s the part I don’t understand. Do you believe that the only way to get him out of the closing lineup is to get rid of him? I don’t. And, he is one of the players who’s actually playing well this year. Plus, his expiring contract will make him worth a lot more over the summer or this time next year.

If the player being brought in is supposed to take Williams’ role, I’d much rather start with Williams when building the deal, if I have a choice.
