Crazy trade ideas get thrown around all the time, especially with the NBA season coming to a close. Some can make you think. Some seem like a stretch, but not totally unrealistic.
Every once in awhile, though, you get one that seems completely ridiculous. This one from Bleacher Report is a prime example of that.
Greg Schwartz suggested a move that would deliver the Brooklyn Nets Chris Paul.
But that’s not even the weirdest part.
Oklahoma City would receive Spencer Dinwiddie in exchange, along with Taurean Prince and the Nets’ 2020 first-round pick (No. 19). The Thunder would also receive Brooklyn big man DeAndre Jordan in Schwartz’s proposed deal.
Even if Paul was willing to come off the bench, this move is ridiculous for the sole reason that Jordan is mentioned. Although he’s not Brooklyn’s third-best player — unless you asked Vince Carter — Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving also wanted to join forces with Jordan after the 2018-19 season, much like they wanted to play with one another.
No shot the Nets would ever move him so long as Durant and Irving want him in Brooklyn.
