Is our goal with a trade this year to win the 2019 title? As far as any trade, I’d say Shaq to Miami, LeBron and Bosh (depending on how you look at that), George Hill for Kawhi Leonard, Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett, Kevin Love and Cleveland. I mean, with the exception the Warriors (who have won three), that’s pretty much every title in recent history.
He seemed to open it up to “any trade of significance,” or at least that’s how I took it. In any case, I don’t think a mid-season trade and a championship is the way to look at things. Championships are an accumulation of a lot of good decisions. It’s like saying “when was the last time a team won a championship with a strong defensive center who wasn’t a scoring threat?” and saying because Bogut and Chandler are the only good examples in the last 14 years, that you shouldn’t focus on a defensive center.
Dewayne Dedmon.
So outside of Phoenix, Philly, Orlando and maybe some dark horse like Portland, we really don't know the market for Jrue. There just aren't that many buyers for a 28 year old PG/SG with $80 million left on his deal after this year.
