Has any player besides Durant won a finals MVP immediately after switching teams, either via free agency or trade?

Im almost positive Moses Malone did

Steph was a 7
Klay a 11
Draymond was a second rounder
poo poo, even Barnes was a 7?

Good luck getting close to that level of talent at those picks anytime soon

Magic will trade for PG so the Lakers can finish with the 8th worst pick

Trade with what ?

I dunno. Neither Magic or Bird seem to be good at their jobs

An early look at 2018 has the top picks being Doncic and a slew of bigs. I'd rather have Fultz now than gamble next year

Sure, but I thought the plan was to develop Ben Simmons to run the point? Do they move him to the 3 then?

Simmons will run the offense, but his body will occupy the position known as PF

Brett Brown:

Right

Simmons will do all the duties of a PG but will be called a PF and play PF on defense

They just seem incredibly valuable. Unprotected picks from bad teams. There's a decent chance that Lakers pick is top-5 next year and that Kings pick is top-3. And this doesn't seem like a draft with a huge gap between players on top to move up two spots.

2018 is shaping up to be frontcourt heavy, which is what the Sixers dont need if they believe in the existing core. And I have full faith in Magic blowing his load and signing Rudy Gay to lead the Lakers to the 8th worst record.

And every player bar Fultz has a severe weakness that could derail his career

He's a good enough player+fit that I'm okay with a slight overpay, but I wouldn't be surprised if there were a series of protections on the Lakers pick to avoid a potentially massive overpay.

Like CBM said, it'll take more than some seconds to compensate for dropping from 1-3, but, at the same time, I think the talent gap between Fultz and Jackson isn't large enough to justify giving up Doncic, Bamba, or Porter Jr.

I think Fultz is leagues better than Jackson. And I dont like the fit of Bamba or Porter

You don't necessarily have to keep Bamba, Porter, et al.

Also

Drafting Bamba et al only to trade then later is basically whats happening already with the Lakers pick?

Lebron is not leaving the Cavs to go join a worse team that's in the same division as the Warriors and be facing the Western Playoffs every year.

There is no way LeBron is leaving the Heat and go join Dan Gilbert again.
