re: Spin off: Should the pels look to trade Jrue?

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
