So I'm guessing the trade value top 3 goes 3 Lebron 2 durant 1 curry right?
Esp given that contracts are considered and curry is now probably the best bargain in the league, I guess if you give more weight to "who do you want for ten years" durant might be the better bet bc of injury history but I'm guessing simmons can't resist the dubs momentum
Ooh wait actually he might put the brow and harden up there...over Lebron??

brow has to be #1

If it was a straight "pick one franchise guy and you have him for ten years" tho the answer is probably the brow

Ha xp
hes on the verge of being the best player in the nba and because no one ever turns down that first contract you have him for six more years and hes cheap for another year and a half

also fwiw ive been thinking about the kevin love situation and i realized he will 100% exercise his player option next year because hes waiting on the big cap bump in two year but he cant just sign a one year deal with another team next year because bird rights dont come with a one year deal and if a team doesnt have bird rights they cant offer the 5 year super max, so if kevin love wants the five year super max in two years when the salary cap goes up he must opt in next season*
so hypothetical trading for love a. includes that he will def be with the team next year b. gives that team a very good chance of resigning him via big bird rights contract†
*i think this is how it works lol
†obvs theres a chance he will forgo his opportunity for a five year max and switch to a team he prefers to the one holding his bird rights, i just doubt he will do it preemptively next year, tho its maybe more likely if things keep not working out on the cavs, conclusion trade love

btw month to date love is averaging 20-11, shooting still a little off at 44/29/80, but hes trending int he right direction

does he make a comparison between phil leotardo and pete carroll? does he compare their heads of white hair? does he compare the previously little-known malcolm butler to the previously little-known walden belfiore aka the guy who takes out leotardo?

in the midst of a grantland shootaround post around cavs drama (lol) that touches briefly on boogie's "god's plan" speech, this choice nugget from bill simmons:
I can’t tell you how focused I am on the possibility of a Boogie/Boston trade. Like, you have no idea.
and then later:
Boogie for Jared Sullinger, Kelly Olynyk, Marcus Thornton’s expiring, our unprotected 2015 no. 1 pick, the unprotected 2015 Clippers pick AND Dallas’s future no. 1 pick. THIS IS GOD’S PLAN!!!! Wait, what are you guys talking about?
as great as that would be for the Cs, this has to be a new high water mark for simmons absurdity, right? even as crazy as vivek is and as incompetent as his front office is?
