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

[The Jom]

I think we really REALLY need to use the THJ contract to the absolute most. Green+THJ contract lets the Mavs get 1 last semi large trade and they can take back roughly 30 mil of salary with it. 

Now do they target a starting 3/4 that can play off PJ and can hit 3s? Do they break that up and bring in 2 guys that fill different needs? 


How they use Green+THJ+Hardy this summer along with the 25+31 will be really interesting to me. That and they have to retain DJJ. I think he's played himself out of the TP-MLE but who knows?

I hate to say this and am ready to boo myself for putting it into text, but to really move the needle, don’t you have to give thought to packaging all available assets—including PJ Washington and, gulp, Dereck Lively—into an offer for Giannis? Add THJ’s expiring contract, Josh Green, and the kid from Marquette (pretty much everything you can get your hands on) and maybe you’re sniffing a deal there? It sure wouldn’t surprise me to see that teetering franchise go into a full-on meltdown.
