Saying it is a lateral move is sort of insulting to Oladipo IMO.
JRich is a role player, glue guy at best. Good one for that, but Oladipo was the best player in play-off team before, a former All Star and All NBA player all while being a year and four months older that JRich.
Honestly, I think JRich is becoming a bit overrated in this board, I would trade him in heartbeat if we are getting health Oladipo.
I agree I think we have a tendency to do that when a guy is better than the current options we have vs. comparing them to what could be available through free agency and trade.
I agree if the ask is for Rich in return to get Dipo you do the trade as long as you get the commitment from Dipo to signing the extension.
My issue with J Rich is what type of contract is he going to ask for.
I would much rather set my sights on Lavine or Hield because they are both under contract if I am looking to move Richardson.
1. Zach Lavine
2. Buddy Hield
3. Victor Oladipo
I think if we are being realistic we have to assume that a team is not going to give us one of those 3 for Hardaway Jr. Hardaway is going to have to be swapped for a bad contract I am afraid.
