The only way someone trades for him at 36 is if they need a PG and are contenders.

You’ve been watching too much baseball FAMS. Those 2 are gone mid season for sure.

Both gone this year by the trade deadline?

Why would they want to trade for Jrue only to trade him mid season. If it was clearing salary they could just of easily kept Simons and let him walk at the send of this season.

As for Grant, if they couldn't trade him last year at 30 million what makes you think they can trade him this year at $32 million? Not saying you are wrong. but history shows us it might be diffucult.

Yeah I still think the reason is because they got the leagues MVP in a stupid ass trade by the Clippers, vs the timeline thing. Especiually since SGA is the same age as Ant and Ayton. Without SGA the Thunder are good but not this good.

For sure SGA worked out way better than expected.

But its really the non Paul George moves that I'm talking about. Taking on contracts like Al Horford and Chris Paul for picks and then later flipping them for picks. Not giving contracts to vets that seem to be starting quality like the Blazers and all the stupid Kings/Bulls/etc teams routinely do.

Jrue has more value than Simons and there will be far more demand for him than Simons.

Grant? It doesn't matter.

Players values are usually their highest during the trade deadline?

Sure he is better but an extra two years on his contract and a higher salary and a decade older. I just didn't get the feeling that they traded for him to dump him in another trade...... again.
But I am just guessing.

It'll be easier to trade Jrue for value than it would be to trade Simons. I think it's as simple as that.

And you're far better off if you can't trade Jrue than if you had kept Simons.
 
I think Jrue is here to start this season on the right note. When Scoot gets back we will see a playing time crunch.

I think some pretender teams who want to be contenders this season will be offering good returns for Jrue. I don't know if Joe has Jrue penciled in for a long term piece or a stop gap and just a better value at the deadline than Ant would have been. I tend to think that Joe saw Jrue as someone who could teach and then move on to the team offering the best return.

Only time will tell.
