Spin off: Should the pels look to trade Jrue?

Hear me out despite the beliefs I think Jrue is a great player and as we know his contract ends next season. As of right now he has no incentives to stay with the team with a losing situation and mismanagement of his injury. If Jrue doesn't agree to a reasonable extension he should be traded. It could be another Asik situations where we will have to out bid ourselves from him leaving with no options to replace him to give him the max. I'm not saying he will get the max on the open market but Asik wasnt going to get that 11mil year deal either. It was the price to keep him from walking. No matter what you think Jrue is not worth the max unless he proves to be the second fiddle on a championship team. So if he's not willing to sign an extension this is the best time to trade him to teams like the Jazz, Bucks, Magic, Sac and Knicks teams desperately need a guy like him. He could get us a great return with a young guy and a pick. So the choice is keeping Jrue and being OK to handi I capping ourselves shelling out that money for Jrue or trade him and getting more value for you cap to build a better team. You also can't ignore his leg issue giving out that type of money.

You've got to think AD is going to get tired of building for the future...

If Jrue is traded, will you take a break from the board for a little while?

Your daily Jrue thread. What do you have planned for tomorrow? Looking forward to it.

Yes we should trade everybody but AD and cheap starters/role players. But unless we hire a real GM it's pointless.

I think you have a fundamental misunderstanding of how much the cap is going to jump.
Even at $20M next year and beyond, that is nowhere close to a max on a $108M cap.
That said, giving Holiday $20+M with his injury history and this medical staff is somewhat risky. The injuries and his expiring contract will also deflate his trade value, if they even want to move him. 65 games with half of them on a minutes restriction is promising, but not exactly an all clear.
All of this applies to Evans too. The time to move either guy for any return was this past season. Maybe someone gets desperate this summer, but I doubt it.
And, shite, bringing Gordon and Anderson back is still in play for this team. That happens, time to bring back OG Pierre and let him purge the organization

You couldn't have asked this in your other jrue thread?

I hate the idea of trading him but we have to do something and he has real value. I think everyone short of AD should be considered for possible trades.

Maybe not look to trade him, but I don't think he's nearly as untouchable as some make him out to be.
