i am confused. if you're turning Holiday into a 3 and D guard, he isnt worth $126M

I'm looking at someone like Klay Thompson. He's able to guard 1-3. He's a knock down shooter. He's able to get off his own shot when the situation calls for it.

Klay has one of the best jumpers the game has ever seen, but if Jrue can get his 3 pt % to stay around 40%, he could provide the same type of role that Klay plays on the Warriors. We know their offense is predicated on ball movement from all 5 positions and moving without the ball. If Jrue can pick up those skills, he will not just be a 3 and D wing. He could be an upper escelon 3/D wing.

Before people start freaking out that I'm comparing Jrue to Klay, realize I am only saying that is the role I expect him to play in this offense. And again, if he can figure it out, he could earn that deal.
