Denver Nuggets Receive: G/F Caris LeVert 

Cleveland Cavaliers Receive: F Aaron Gordon 

On the other hand, having point guard skills doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll play point guard. 

After all, few players in the NBA have Nikola Jokic’s passing vision – if any. Yet, he still lines up at the 5 for the Denver Nuggets. Realistically, slotting him in at the point guard spot would be a non-option. 

Perhaps positions are now determined by defensive assignments. Jokic has developed into an adequate rim protector, but the Nuggets can’t have him chasing guards around the perimeter.

It may be that positions are still relevant, and it’s actually rigid positional responsibilities that the league has moved on from.

With the right pieces around him, Jokic is unstoppable. Could LeVert be one of those pieces?
