People are irrationally quick to throw IT under the bus because of his size.
If he were 6'3'' with literally the exact same stats and performance people would be clamoring for him to be an MVP candidate. He'd be considered untouchable.
Well, duh. If he was 6'3" he probably wouldn't be constantly taken advantage of on defense.
One great offensive player can carry a great offense (as can 2 or 3 or 4), but your defense is only as good as your weakest link. The other 4 can do the best they can to help, but eventually the little guy is gonna get isolated.
That's the only reason anybody would ever look to trade IT.
And so long as we get back an equal offensive player who is better at defense/rebounding, I don't see why anybody would have a probably with it. And we're actually in a great situation, because we could trade him for a player of any position 1-5, and AB/Smart/Jae/Horford are so versatile that it works.
