Do you want to extend Jrue say 4 more years at the same value, around $25M/yr?
Not sure I can say I'd absolutely want to do that. I love Jrue, but i honestly don't think he's the veteran leader we expected him to be. Maybe he is, i don't know. I think jrue would rather be quiet and let his play lead the way, and while every team needs that, we need a vocal veteran leader. JJ was that guy this year, not Jrue.

As with any trade, it depends on the value you are getting offered for him.

If we are getting offered high value, you trade him.

If not, you attempt to extend him and then revisit all of this in a year or two.

Extending Jrue for less than what he costs us now doesn't really hurt us until we pay Zion. Why is everyone so worked up about paying or not paying players money over their vocal leadership? Find me assets that we can get at 25 mil that will do what he can do and I'll say let him walk. JJ was that guy and we were able to pay him and have Jrue. Why does it matter if he isn't vocal enough and can still ball out?
