The NBA is the definition of a never-say-never league. Imagine a year ago being told that Klay Thompson was starting his final season with the Golden State Warriors. Imagine two years ago being told that Chris Paul would be suiting up for the blue-and-gold soon. Imagine four years ago, after a 15-win season, being told that another title was right around the corner for Dub Nation. Imagine 15 years ago being told that your favorite team just drafted one of the 10 greatest players in NBA history.
So don’t give up on any dreams yet. But if there are dreams that you are giving up on, it’s probably the dream of trading for Lauri Markkanen.
