I think Jrue has proven he isn't worth the long term investment

I like the guy and think he's a great player but the most likely way we keep him is to max him out. Saying that I think he's not worth it. Having to max type players on your team should make you competitive and when he plays he doesn't elevate us to that level.

We are 5-4 when Jrue has played.

2-12 without him.

paying him is dicey given all the time he's missed

not paying him means this team is DOA


they probably will have to pay him and hope he offers a bit of a discount, assuming he even wants to stay. that or pray for lottery luck and Fultz

Not the Pelicans EG, but the Rockets EG? That is absolutely true.

EG is the same guy but just on a better team. Did you guys forget he avg like 20 points when everyone was out. In a bugger role he can score he just suck on D. On this team he's a better fit because we have no scorers.

If we don't max him out who do we replace him with? We won't replace his skill set.

I really like Jrue but at this point I'm hoping we get rid of everyone in this franchise not named Anthony Davis and start over

This season I was speaking about, obviously. And more specifically, the OP's assertion that he doesn't make us competitive when he plays.

I am not sure I would resign Jrue personally. Not yet at least. That will depend on how the season plays out, how he plays out over 82 games and factors like our draft. But to say Jrue hasn't had an impact in terms of elevating our competitiveness is ridiculous.

Gonna have to roll the dice. We aren't gonna find a better option talent wise (likely by a decent margin) in free agency.

Dell Demps would sign him to a max deal next year... Hopefully Dell hits the road very soon
