I'm guessing these two teams may revisit trade discussions during this offseason...any ideas on who might be involved???
I hope somehow Levert is involved
Every time a trade comes around where the primary, key, most important, significant asset we get back is LeVert, I want someone to explain to me why they think he's a good return without mentioning points per game. So far, the explanation has yet to come.
Basketball.
The best argument would be that the playmaking we saw in the bubble is here to stay. Not just the assists, but the overall playmaker. He ran a lot of pick and roll, attacked and dished, etc.
If he continues growing in that direction and saves his iso game for late in shot clock, playoff situations, etc then he could fit with the core. If he can't, then he becomes an overpaid 6th man in my opinion.
But the guy in the bubble would fit well offensively. We'd likely be bottom 10 defensively and also you gotta worry about his injury history. I'd rather flip him to a 3rd team if he is the main piece back personally

He did show some improved playmaking in the bubble, but I'm trying not to put too much weight on the bubble. Shotmaking, for example, was up all around: AD shot 55.2% from long midrange in the playoffs, and unless we think that AD is suddenly the single greatest midrange shooter of all time as well, I'm applying the same kind of scepticism to over random improvements in specific skills.
Overall, LeVert's decision making for his career has been fairly mediocre even if we're being generous, and outright poor a good portion of the time. Add to that a sub-par defender, his overall inefficiency from almost everywhere, and an injury history as serious and storied as his, and there's just way too much there for me to take him seriously as the high-value return that so many other people seem to take for granted.
Edit: Just to clarify, MM, I'm not saying you are ignoring stuff like the injury history, you even mention it in that post, but I'm just saying those are general concerns that are overlooked by many.
I dont really like the Nets as a Jrue trade partner but I do know Levert has good value in the league. For example, Atlanta has discussed Collins for Levert internally. Teams like him
I would rather get low usage role players and far out picks for Jrue, personally. #
Then let other teams have him: as you said, if we ended up dealing with the Nets and LeVert was the whole thing, then I'd much rather there be a third team involved for him to go to that we could extract value from.
I don?t like any players the NETS could offer. We need role players and another pg in case we don?t keep Lonzo.

Curious to see how the Gundy hire affects Jrue’s situation. I’m almost positive he would be gone if we weren’t bringing in an established head coach. Now I’m not so sure he leaves
Thats not how Griff operates. He is gonna trade him if he gets overpaid for him. He won't if the offers aren't overpays. That simple. Coaching decision wouldn't change that

3 team trade idea involving us, the Pacers, and the Nets. We give up Jrue, JJ, and a first amd receive Levert and Turner
The rare 3 team trade that none of the teams would do
Indy wants to get younger, not older. Brooklyn loves Harris and wont include him, especially if they are giving up Dinwiddie and LeVert too. And Griff would have zero interest in this trade too.
Bravo for this terrible proposal
