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

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

I hate it.  We are paying a first for bench player on a terrible team, hoping he will get better.  Best case he is worth the first but he could just as easily be another GWill.  Its very unlikely this team can contend with PJ in the starting lineup, so why are we paying assets for him?  This screams desperation.  And if we ever get healthy, how are we going to divide up the minutes across our 10 role players.  We are going to depress the value of some of those guys.

It is also really stupid to pay assets to get off Holmes.  He will be an expiring contract in half a season.
