Jrue Holiday, o wait.....I'm wondering, is there any trade we could make for a high level player that wouldn't also just decimate the defense?
Like we know that we're not going to acquire any top 3 or top 5 guys. No one is trading us Lebron James or Kawhi Leonard or whatever. Nobody is giving us Nikola Jokic.
So in that case we're looking at 2nd and 3rd tier stars, who may be potentially movable for the right price. Bradley Beal is the name that comes up a lot, but I've seen people discussing Zach Lavine, and hell, we mentioned John Collins and he's in a similar category.
The problem is that all three of those guys are either bad defenders, or appalling defenders. Is there any potentially acquirable serious talent that can also defend a little? Doesn't have to be all-D, just good would cut it.
