re: Michael Carter-Williams potentially available?

MCW and Brandon Jennings for a combined $7MM per year would be so much better than Jrue for $21MM per year. We could afford a legit wing then.

I'm on the side of moving away from Jrue unless we can pick up a legit SG/SF.
MCW and Jennings are in no way better than Jrue, even at those salaries, and i've been saying all year i'm ready to move on from Jrue, and i think you're an idiot for suggesting this.
Brandon Jennings is worthless.
MCW isn't terrible, but he literally can't shoot. How you make it to the NBA as a guard and you aren't capable of shooting a basketball is beyond me.
Rubio is a 30% 3 point shooter, and over 80% from the free throw line.
MCW is 25% from 3 and 70% from the line.
Elfrid Peyton isn't much better at 29% from 3 and a putrid 60% from the line.
Rondo is around 30% from 3 and 60% from the line, although he's been closer to 35% from 3 the last 3 years.

Ricky Rubio has been a top 10 PG the last 4 years when it comes to real +/-. He's played over 75 games in each of the last 4 years too.
MCW has been on the bottom end of the PG's the last 4 years in real +/-

If you're asking me if i want to have Rubio at $13M for 2 more years, or Jrue at $25 for 4 more years, even with a cap hold of $17M, i'll take Rubio.
