While I think Jackie has somewhat lost her fastball from recent years, she's still a great reporter and I think we should take this a bit seriously.
Jackie was pretty spot on thinking (back in late July-early August) that if a deal for Irving had to involve Isaiah, Crowder, and a pick, the C's should pull the trigger, and she said there's a reason you had to attach assets for Isaiah and not Irving (b/c Irving is looked at as the "better player" to most).
She also didn't think George or Butler was ever coming here but felt confident that Hayward was.
She also predicted at the beginning of last season, that LaMarcus Aldridge would be on the trade market at the deadline (which was a real bold take), and while he wasn't at the trade deadline, it became increasingly obvious Aldridge didn't like his fit there and look, Spurs somewhat shopped him this past summer, and they could again at the deadline if Aldridge's fit still looks real iffy. Jackie was one of the first out there to believe this, and it came out true (Aldridge and Spurs fit not as ideal).
Most of these are tidbits from all the videos on CSNNE from Arbella Early Edition and w/e.
While I doubt an AD trade happens IN-SEASON (as Jackie says), we should look out for next summer esp. if Pelicans suck and Lakers Pick conveys.
