Are you talking about Tyreke/Jrue/Lemonhead?

You'd be right on lemonhead but the former 2 you're off.

If not for lemons would the people that sometimes bitch about Jrue/Tyreke still have reason to bitch?


Yes, all 3 make north of $10m. As far as roster/salary construction goes, you would like at least one of them to be a stud considering two of your best players (Anderson and Davis) are great "supplemental pieces" on great contracts. You need those 3 guys to earn their money. Obviously Gordon is the biggest culprit as he makes a ton of $$$ in regards to actual production.

Tyreke looked like a dominant player at times last year. I'd say he has the best chance to breakout and earn his money, especially now that he's in Monty's good graces.

Jrue was a stud for that ~one month span where he was healthy/acclimated with the offense. He was also a stud in Philly up until the entire team and coach gave up on the season. It's hard to say that he'll be a top 10 PG next season since the NBA is stacked with PGs right now, but I do think that he'll be VERY good.

I'm not worried about Jrue/Tyrekes production in regards to money/impact.

It's EG that screwing all of this up.
