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

Edit: in my worst case scenario I had exactly what you laid out except Mavs sending the ‘27 FRP but getting back a SRP or two. A Nico special.

I do the same thing mentally and don't bother to write it down.  An unprotected first got us Kyrie 'freaking' Irving, so I think unprotected firsts are precious.  But, we gave away a pick swap (in the heart of Wemby's prime) for GWill.  So, maybe the idea is we just want to be able to draft from somewhere.  Hardy at 37 means we can find contribution in the early 2nd.  

I tend to look at the pick arsenal of teams I'm fantasy trading with.  The issue with Charlotte is they don't have a first and only have Boston's second this season.  Milwaukee has Portland's unprotected 2nd (so a really good second).  Seems like there might be a way of working one of those picks into this if we are sending out our 2027.
