Trading old for young almost never works

And maybe NBA teams are finally learning (outside the Dallas idiot), since no one seems to want Jimmy.

But just look at history:

Durant deal - Brooklyn fleeced Phoenix

Harden deal - Houston fleeced Brooklyn

Paul George - OKC destroyed the Clippers

Rudy Gobert - I still think Utah won this trade although it will depend on what Ainge does and how fast Rudy falls off

Lillard - Not sure that Portland got that great of assets but trading for an old Lillard was not a good move for Milwaukee

Dejountae Murray - Not popular but I hate this trade and wish we still had Daniels even before the injury to Murray

Then you have stupid FA signings for washed up dudes like George and Anthony, Lowry, etc.

I think the evidence is clear that signing older guys to huge money is extremely risky especially as trade targets or FAs.
