As I said, if you don't see max player, you are not trading for him. But Indy is selling potential max player, not dumping salary.
You mentioned George (also expiring and wildly believed he will go to LA next season) from Indy to OKC. OKC gave up:
- Oladipo (than 25 years old), who was their second leading scorer at 15,9 points per game. I guess this beats Brunson value substantially. He also just signed a reasonable 4 year deal
- #11 pick Sabonis in his first year, than 21 (Kleber is 28 now)
George was a better player than Oladipo is now, but the haul they got for him is just not comparable to Brunson, Wright and Kleber, no matter how much you try to inflate Brunson value and potential while ignoring the simple fact that PG is the one position, Indiana has completely covered. SG starter would actually be the only position of need for Indiana with Oladipo gone. You would have to add picks for Indy to even consider this deal
