Jrue is shooting 25% from behind the arc INCLUDING 6/10 games going 0-for. That's unbelievable... and to say "we couldn't have" had Rose is ludicrous. There was zero market for DRose in the offseason, yeah he wanted a contender but he took a $2 million offer. Triple that with a 2 year $12mil deal, with 2nd year player option and he's yours plus a possibly useful trade asset at this or next year's deadline.

Jrue has never shot below 33% from 3 and is a career 36% perimeter shooter. He didn't forget to shoot after signing a contract. The outside shooting will come. The contract is an overpay and everyone knew that the moment it was signed. The thing to be really frustrated about is that he cannot seem to carry the offense even for portions of single games when we need him to. If he absolutely needs Rondo to return 75% of his contract then that is a big problem.

There's no market for a guy for a reason, he's terrible.

And you think it's a sound strategy to triple the nonexistent market for him? That's insane.

Rose is awful. Jrue will be fine.

the guy you paid $6mil that no one wanted for anything other than league minimum is now going to be a trade asset? Good God, man.


Hell, all that and we didn't even touch on the idea of a Rondo/Rose 1-2. Gross
