The days of "getting a superstar for cheap because they'll be a one-year rental" are probably done after what we saw with Kawhi. It's why the Warriors thinking they have any sort of attractive trade package is pretty hilarious. You don't think that if the Bucks called up the Sixers that they wouldn't immediately fork over Simmons plus other assets for Giannis? I'm not even that big of a Simmons fan but he'd easily be a better return than whatever Klay or Draymond plus junk picks package the Warriors could ever cobble together. There's probably more than a dozen teams who can and would offer young blue-chip guys and not even think twice about it (NOP - Ingram, DAL - Porzingis, PHX - Ayton, MIA - BAM!, etc.) You're an idiot franchise if you value "assets" more than even a single season of having the arguably the best player in the league.
