re: .

Iffffffffffffffffffff.....Jrue would walk .......who could we replace him in free agency at that 20-25 million per year slot?

Pat Bev gives a lot of people fits. He's arguably HOU's MVP. Sometimes you just lose the night



Jrue's averaged 20/8/5 with 2 steals shooting 47% from the field the last two years when getting 30+ mpg. He's very good when healthy. How many PGs match those numbers?

His play isnt the question, it's his health.

Plus I think he was shook up a bit with the Boogie trade. He went from being the 2nd best player on the team to a distant 3rd. He needs to adapt to Boogie way more than AD bc it's Jrue's job to get the 2 bigs the ball.

This,

Jrue is highly overrated on this board, and by pels fans in general.

I think it is a sub-conscious need to justify the trade for him. 3 years wasted to injury, followed by 1 mediocre year, and now people want to max him out?

Jrue is a very good defender - NOT GREAT.

Jrue is an AWFUL and UNWILLING passer for a PG. He is without question in the bottom of passing skills for PG. Honestly, if he was just 2 inches taller he would only play SG. His game is certainly more of a SG than a PG.

I've just never been a fan. Sure he has played awesome at times, and he has played horrible at times.... but what is the ratio?

If we can keep him at a reasonable price - fine, but no way in hell we should break the bank for him.

Jrue was not only ineffective last night, he was down right pathetic -- in all phases.

And before the peanut gallery chimes in, remember that Gentry's offense is a PGs pipe dream. His numbers should be through the roof.

Look at what D'antoni did IMMEDIATELY with Harden. We run a similar system.......
