Jrue signing a max or below max deal ain't going to matter. He will be the last player signed during the offseason and will be signed with bird rights. The only person his final number matters to is Mr. Benson.

The argument is will you find someone who could come in and take cap space, but then also leave room for other potential role players this offseason. I would assume that we will have more flexibility to build the depth for the team accepting Jrue is our best 3rd option. I think he is a solid 3rd option long term.

I am sure crewz will come along to correct if I am wrong.

Not that it would change my decision on whether to max Jrue out or not (I would), but the amount of money that he makes will eventually affect whether we're in the tax or not. Being in the tax or close to it affects team exceptions. That's a ways away from happening, but eventually Jrue getting a max vs., say, 90% of a max will have an impact.
