The reality is that when Jrue comes back this team will be good enough to win enough games that we are in the 8-12 range but not good enough to make the playoffs.



While that is probably true, I don't know what losing 50+ games again would do to AD. The team being bad robbed him of $24 million last year and it will rob him of an MVP this year. I don't want to find out how much more losing he can take before breaking. CP3 felt betrayed by management and pretty much checked out and half assed it until he could demand a trade. It'd be a shame if the same thing happened to AD. Let them play .600 once Jrue comes back and at least give AD some hope, even if they do miss the playoffs.

I saw in person what losing 2 games while putting up

95 points, 30+ rebs, 10+ assists, 10+ steals and like 7 blocks and still losing did to him.

Dude looks defeated emotionally after each game.

It's a shame too because it looks like AD truely wants to be hear but will be forced to leave due to an inept FO.

Any word/rumors on Jrue's return?

I don't follow the guy well enough to know if he is legit or not, but I saw this on the Twitter machine earlier:

If that's the case Jrue and Tyreke can hope fully return around the same time giving us the scoring boost we need.
