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

The proximity of Kyrie and Dejounte on this chart is a good reason for why the Mavs should consider swapping Kyrie for Dejounte in the summer. Dejounte can be a difference maker on defense on this team, if he is tasked with guarding the opposition's PG.

Dejounte is also younger, more available to play, and on a more favorable contract.

The Lakers could be roped into a 3-team trade.

I've watched 10 ATL games this year.

Anyone willing to swap out Kyrie for Dejounte just hasn't watched the guy play. Sure the stats are there and on paper he's a good fit. But we know Kyrie is a good fit. There really isn't a single thing Dejounte is better at than Kyrie at all. Age is the only advantage. 

It's already been proven that Murray does not like playing with Trae and wants out of ATL. How can we expect him to be happy next to Luka where he'll get even less looks? Trading for Murray and sending Kyrie out would actually implode the franchise and it's silly to entertain any scenario.
