I think the narrative "want to get rid of him" is wrong if you assume they just want to dump him. He is a very good (offensive) player, 6th man of the year candidate, on a very low contract. Plus he doesn't bring long term contract baggage and could probably be resigned for a reasonable deal at his advanced age if we would want to. That being said, he certainly has value that is far bigger than #31 pick on the market. In any case, Clippers would be way more interested in a good player than the pick. Which player would you send to them if Wright, Powell and Jackson are not possible?
Mostly agree. If the rumor is true, I do think his value is hurt by the team's desire to get rid of him. That's assuming the rumors are true and I do think there is more than enough evidence of smoke in the locker room coming from some combination of Harrell, Lou, and PatBev. I don't think this would be a two team trade anyway, but they are looing for point guard help. While I doubt they'd be interested in Wright, what if we threw in Brunson who could be a nice backup to Rondo (more rumors). I'd probably not give up much more than 31/Brunson because of Lou's age (35 on Oct 27).
Lou for Jackson/Brunson works straight up but I'm with you that they can return better value elsewhere.
