If he recovers from injury and is playing as well as he did last year: un-tradable.

Yeah Man...OKC would of gave up Russell, Green, plus maybe a pick. Before Westbrook blew up. If he comes back healthier then ever.....It's at least interesting what his value is at?

Big Al is the only untouchable on the roster IMO.

A fully healed Jefferson has the potential to become an all-star, but his value will depend on the team you are trading with since his negatives are almost as large as his positives. I would say he is not untouchable.

If he's healthy, Top 15-20 trade value in the league.

His age and even the length of his contract are positives.

His value is such that it is almost impossible to do a one for one deal. We are not in the state where we want to move him for pieces. I doubt we move him. If he puts effort in his defense he is still our cornerstone.

I think that given a team around him that he will prove to be a legit top 10 player in the near future. With his age and contract that makes him a guy you don't trade.
