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

[KillerLeft]

I actually don't mind the rumored Holmes+Curry+Draft compensation deal for PJ. That's cheap enough.

If CHA could just accept 2 2nds instead of 2027 FRP then we're cooking with gas. 

If I understood Dan’s post from earlier, he was basically saying that it would be better with Williams going instead of Holmes, and I think part of the logic there is to take some of the burden out of the draft capital to carry the deal. In other words, replace Holmes with Williams and just maybe you can get it down to two seconds? I would do that for sure.

Plus, that preserves the Holmes and Hardaway expiring contracts to use over the summer or at the next deadline.

Lots of people are suddenly down on Washington, now that it looks like he’s the guy, but to my mind getting a do over on Williams by transforming him into Washington without giving up too much in order to do it would be a nice trade deadline. Just depends on the deal.

I think Mavs tried to get their FRP back in the process.

What makes you think that? Is that just your speculation?

My assumption is that the Knicks either don’t think Green is as good as Grimes or that they don’t think either of them is worth the kind of contract Green just got. Kind of seems like the Mavericks agree, if the rumor is true.
