re: Trade Jrue Holiday

Im not saying you don’t have vets on the team to lead the young guys, but people need to be realistic.

Jrue has three years left on his contract. He will be going on 32 at that point.

The Pels will likely be caught in a situation where Jrue wants to cash out one last time.

If you are Griffin, are you wanting to pay 20 - 30 million a year for 4 years to a guy that will be on the decline and likely an anchor come the second half of his next contract? As Zion is going into his prime? Who might even demand a max otherwise he will go to a ready made contender?

These are the realities of having a guy that is not on our time schedule. As the other option is you play out his contract and risk letting him walk.

Now if I’m a GM and have the fortune of thinking long-term, I don’t know how you convince me that Jrue does not need to be shopped in the 2021 season barring us on a championship trajectory.
