Lonzo should be traded so we aren’t forced to overpay him.
Does this not also go for Jrue?

No Jrue will still depend on the offer. If he signs at 25 mil he would still be more valuable to us than trading him for potatoes or unproven draft players.

Also I think he has earned the respect to leave somewhat on his terms. In other words if he'd like to walk and get a larger contract then we may just let him do it > trading him to a shitty team for assets.

I'm just out on Lonzo. I don't think he's ever going to be more than an 3 and D guard, which would be fine if his likely price would be cheaper or his defense were better.

I've said before I can see Jrue being the Pels Lowry or DeRozan. If there's a good deal out there send him out. If there isn't, let him be the #3 to Zion and Ingram until the right opportunity comes along.

Jrue is getting older, but his offense is built on change of pace, not speed, and his defense is built on instinct and reputation. He bumps guys a lot when he "beats" them to the spot, but he doesn't get called because I guess he knows the angles/officiating. So I can see him keep roughly this same level of productivity even as he approaches 35 during his extension.
