It is

If we keep Frazier, than you have 3 guys who can run the point. But the issue is only one can play off ball as far as we know (Jrue)

Tyreke: who's best season was arguably this year.
30MPG, 15.2/5.2/6.6; shooting 43.3/38.8/79.6 and 2.9 TOV

Jrue: best season was his 1st year with us.
34MPG, 14.3/4.2/7.0; shooting 44.7/39.0/81.0 and 3.1 TOV

Frazier: only season with us
29MPG (16 games), 13.1/4.4/7.5; shooting 45.0/41.9/76.3 and 2.4 TOV

See the issue is we have a franchise player who can be very dominant and efficient if you feed him properly. Issue is right now only one guy has shown to be able to do that efficiently in his whole tenure here and his name is Jrue Holiday.

Tyreke has shown multiple times he is unable to be the lead guy and have the system run through AD. Frazier hasn't been given time to do it.

Jrue has also shown to be the best defender of the 3.


If we're going to trade Jrue, we have to be able to find or get back a player who can do his job or use the money or assets we get for him to upgrade somewhere else (i.e. SG or SF).

Now the question becomes who do you get if you kick him for future space.
Going into the 2017 free agency class, you'll have Tyreke, Jrue as free agents.

Free Agents:
PGs:
Rose
Westbrook
Curry
Hill
Teague
Collison
Mills
Burke (RFA)
MCW (RFA)
Schroder (RFA)
Lin

SGs:
DeRozan
Afflalo
Redick
Oladipo (RFA)
Meeks
Allen
Korver
Smith
McLemore (RFA)
Sefolosha
KCP (RFA)
McCollum (RFA)
Johnson

SFs:
Chandler Parsons
Andre Iguodala
Otto Porter Jr (RFA)
PJ Tucker
Shabazz Muhammad (RFA)
Giannis (RFA)


not much to pick from and realistically you might be better off giving Jrue the contract. You could possibly end up with Teague I guess, but that's a wash of an upgrade or a lateral move.

Where? Let Tyreke walk at 2017, he adds wins to keep AD happy, will help the transition for a guy like Dunn, has no trade value for a reason to even trade him. For Jrue we can get McLemore and 8 or a guy like Burks to assets we can build on. For Tyreke we can get a late first.
