comparable PGs (Ellis, Jennings or maybe Teague) for about the same or less money.

None of those guys are even close to Jrue's level. Jennings probably wants more than him as well.

Plus still draft an impact player (McLemore) and keep future picks. Now we have less cap room to try to fill a major hole (SF or C). I don't think it's bad, it's just a way I don't agree with.

Our only real major hole is SF. Lopez is serviceable at C. shite, if the Thunder can make it to the Finals with Kendrick Perkins as their C then I think Lopez will be fine. Picks are always unknown so I don't mind trading them for proven top 10 talent at a position. We still have enough money to get a decent SF and can even get a guy like Iguodala simply by flipping Vasquez and temporarily releasing Smith.

The only thing that scares me is if this move puts us in Houston Rockets territory (fringe playoff team), which is the worst possible spot to be in because you are not a legit title contender, but also picking in the middle of the draft.

We improved, but this team still has some holes and now we don't have as much cap space and could be without a pick next year.

can you delve deeper into this? What makes Jrue SO much better as a player in your eyes?
