Jrue was trying to get out of a bad situation with the 76ers. He knew that if he said something his chances of leaving that S*** hole would decline and he would be stuck there. He was 22 and the docs were telling him he was healing fine. At 22 everyone thinks their immune to injury and sickness, especially men, which is why most younger men don't have health insurance and do not visit the doc frequently.
Jrue did what 90% of us do on job interview's when asked a question that could put a stain on our character/resume and lead to us not getting the job. WE LIE!

As pissed as I am about this, if we instead kept our picks we probably would've drafted Burke and Saric. I prefer the situation we're in now compared to that.

Now, there's always the possibility there was another trade offer for that Nerlens pick on draft day.

Whoa. If the doctors told him he was "healing fine" and he repeated those words, that is very different than lying.

If he knew he was hurt and lied to the Pelicans about the injury, then he's just as guilty as the Sixers in this situation. I don't believe this happened. He seemed to like Philly and to be blindsided by the trade.

Others have Monty quotes about Holiday wanting to play through his injury/rush his rehab. If he just doesn't want to admit pain, that is an problem for me. His body makes him millions for a limited amount of time. He needs to protect himself.

You can be mindful of your body and not be "soft"

Some retard fan from the 76ers board in regards to the Jue/3mill situation. It's amazing how delusional fans can become. Even more amazing how many of them actually use the phrase "Trust The Process" like it's a verse from a holy scripture written during magical times.

"This is all just politics the typical smear which only happens to the candidates the other side is afraid of. Take heart we are getting close and they are getting worried. All this is just smoke and mirrors or at worst a warning shot by the league across the bow. Same with players association investigation. If it causes Sam to spend in free agency so much the better. When we are winning and the building is full all the noise about shared revenue will go away too"


Pretty funny and scary if you ask me.
