Why is everyone acting like Jrue is gonna be traded tomorrow is beyond me. I already adressed this with another post, the longer they wait, the more assets they will get from someone.
Jrue is getting traded in January/February, not now. Training camp is already almost here and nobody ever made a significant trade in November/December. There is no precedent here.
I hope you are right about this. There are loud rumors the Clippers assets like picks and other good players for him.
What good players lol?
Clippers don't have any youth which Portland would want nor picks. They gave up all their picks in the Paul George trade.
Ironically a couple years after, SGA is a couple of tiers higher than George as a player.
Thunder made out like bandits from that trade.
Clippers are not a threat straight up. Only If they do a 3 team trade.
Portland is going to want young players and picks for Jrue, not 25 year old Rui.
The team that gets him is going to pay 1 or 2 decent young players and 2 firsts. Teams like Golden St, Boston, New Orleans, OKC have the needed draft capital. There is going to be a bidding war for him because he’s plug and play in so many different systems. Rui, D Lo and a 2029 first is easily going to be beaten. I don’t see a path for the Lakers to land him.
