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

As you have pointed out, Hunter might be too expensive.

I'm wondering about Simone Fontecchio as backup SF.

Do you think the Mavs could get away with sending THJ to Detroit for Fontecchio + Grimes?

G: Irving................. Exum, Hardy
G: Green................. Grimes, Hardy
F: Luka................... Fontecchio, O-Max
F: PJ....................... Kleber, O-Max
C: Lively.................. Gafford, Kleber

Another interesting option for backup SF is Gordon Hayward, if more play-making is required for when Luke or Kyrie are not on the court.

It's hard to imagine the tax MLE being enough for either of those guys. If I'm Detroit I would prefer Fontecchio+Grimes, although Weaver does make some bizarre decisions so you never know.
