You realize how bad Jrue has been, right? If you are talking just about how he has played this year, or even since the Boogie trade, it would be very easy to get a guard for the money the Pels had to offer and have the team not be worse for it. Very easy. You could have:
- Traded for A Bradley, R. Jackson, J Clarkson, C Joseph, Rubio, or Bledsoe
- Signed D Collison, Tyreke, George Hill, or Teague
All have been much better. Heck, you could have just brought in Rondo and Nelson, then go and sign a guy like CJ Miles or Jonathan Simmons.
Bottom line - Jrue has been terrible. The way he is playing right now, he can be replaced by minimum guys like Clark and Nelson, with no notable difference. Now, if your argument is that its some aberration and he is going to learn how to dribble again, or make 3's at a better than JV High School player rate, then that is one thing. But if THIS is the Jrue the team gets moving forward, you could have signed minimum guys to have a similar impact.

How can he not revert to the mean? Have you ever seen a player fall off a cliff like this without age or injury being a factor?

Also, how would we get Teague or Hill? We didn't have room in the cap, we were under $10mil available I believe if we let Jrue go and operated under the cap.
