I'll say this... It was only a little over a decade ago where we drafted an up and coming improving PG and they used that guy as a centerpiece to a trade that brought the guy in that out the team over the top and won a championship.... So there's history.
The central player we traded in that trade:. Devin Harris
The player we brought in:. Jason Kidd
That team was farther along, but I'm just saying that they've had a really good playmaking young guard before that they have turned into a cornerstone.
I really didn't want them to trade Harris, for sentimental reasons mainly, but it turned out well.
Could this stretch really be upping Brunson's trade value to be the centrepiece of a trade that gets an impact player?
Possible.... I'll get Brunson, DFS and picks would get you a decent package. Personally, I would be sad if they were traded, but it's a thought.
Brunson, THJ and.... I like Brunson and would love to see him stay, but if we are talking about the player with the most trade value, it actually might be him, more than KP. Young guard, who's a winner, still improving, showing he can put up points and carry a team.
Me? I'd rather keep him and start him with Luka, but for that to work, Luka is going to have to be average to above average defensively. Won't work if Luka keeps being lazy on D.
I think this is extremely over simplified. There are LOADS of star players in this league that people have wanted to trade.... There are plenty right now, much less in the history of the league.
