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

[Jason Terry]

Nico has shown he’s big on the draft. For instance, he came in and found out we don’t make a big board on years we don’t have picks. Immediately changed and we get good value with Hardy.

Last summer we have one of the most impressive draft wizardry performances from Nico maximizing our assets

This year’s draft is projected to be one of the worst of all time. We already saw at the TDL how willing teams were to trade picks in this draft. If Nico is going to make the draft and scouting a bigger part of our organization, then i could see him seeing some sort of value in making a move

Let’s say it’s something like this:
Mavs get: pick in a spot of the draft where “Nico’s guy” is available (similar to Omax)

Other team(s) get: THJ, 58(draft and stash) and send us TPE or expirings that we waive

Luka, Kai, DJJ, PJ, Gafford
Exum, Hardy, Green, Maxi, Lively
AJ, Omax, draft pick, Powell, Morris

Really deep team that’s young. I like this better than gutting everything for another star. Save our picks for when Kyrie is another year or two older and we need a replacement. Caruso….Naz….Bruce…. I like those guys, but nothing out there that makes me want to mess with our current chemistry
