JJ was on another podcast talking about his decision making process on choosing teams in FA.

quote:

Host: Do you think you'll ever get there [taking a minimum to chase a ring]
JJ: Oh yeah, for sure, for sure. I'm at that point now. Yeah, when this contract is up, yeah. Look, I'd love to go back to New Orleans, I've had a great experience there. They obviously have a chance to win big over the next few years with the nucleus they have.

LINK (talk about FA starts around the 48 minute mark)

Then he rambles on a bit about all the uncertainties. He's not ruling the Pels out, but he's ready for a ring. He also mentioned on his own podcast recently that it would bother him if he finished his career without a championship.

Yeah I think he thought it was a good idea at the time to sign with us and now sees how far away we are, and how short his career has left.

I would not be surprised if he's moved to a contender as part of a deal or multi-team deal.

Send him home. Take the future assets. Let him chase a ring.

His family isn't in New Orleans during the season? I know he spoke on his podcast of a kid in the same daycare or school as one of Jrue's kids.

JJ, Lonzo, Jrue will all be on different teams next season.

JJ took the biggest check he could get. Nothing wrong with it.

He's a very smart guy. So, there's absolutely no way he thought NOLA was gonna compete for championships in his two years here, after trading Anthony Davis.
