A team overachieving slightly with the best offensive rating in the league, blows it up for an over-the-hill PG who may or may not clash with RC... Feels like such a Cuban move
This is what I was going to write as I read through the posts. Feels like any of several trades for end-of-career former stars. Rondo, Odom, even DAJ. Skills are fading, current reputation is based on past accolades, high salary, uncertain culture fit, hindered development of younger talent, etc.
If it's not someone who is legitimate right now (e.g., like Heild from SAC) then it needs to be someone with a unique skill that enhances the team. 5 yrs. ago CP3 was that guy, but today? Not so much.
