Has a team ever successfully traded an overrated poor shooting point guard with a torn ACL... for the best big man in the game?
That would be the most ridiculous heist of all time. In the NBA, big men win championships... not point guards. Essentially every champion ever has had at least one elite big man on their roster.
NOt going to happen. It's been said before, but threads like this are the equivalent of the nerdy kid in chess club saying he wouldn't hook up with the head cheerleader, because she's "not hot enough".
I find that analogy so annoying, but I'll play along anyway.
So, we're the "nerdy kid in chess club" and we already have a super hot girlfriend in Rondo. However, now that we've been dating for awhile, we've seen her up close. We've seen her without the idealized lighting and the makeup. We've seen her when she's in a bad mood, when her hair's a mess, smelled her breath in the morning. She's off the pedestal.
Our friends are now trying to convince us to dump her for this other idealized prom queen, flawless princess. We had a good thing going with the first cheerleader. We've had great times and we've clicked, but we can't leave well enough alone and are trying to upgrade to a better girlfriend.
We'll date her for a little while and find out she's not what our imagination thought she was either. She's not the flawless, ideal, movie version of a princess (that girl doesn't exist). To make matters worse, she'll just end up dumping us and leaving us heartbroken and alone.
