Because Jrue is better than Wiggins in many aspects. We can use the draft, add role players, and potentially win a championship with Jrue. We could also trade him for 1 extremely good player or 2 very good players. This team will never win a championship with Andrew Wiggins on it and could get about 5 better returns than that deal including letting Jrue walk and having 26 million free. Period. It won't happen mainly because our FO isn't that retarded.

How much does Batum have left in the tank? I wonder if you could get Charlotte to take Wiggins for Batum and a pick.

Warriors get Jrue
Pels get Batum, #2 and Minnesota pick.
Charlotte gets Wiggins and #13 or a future 1st.

It's hard to judge Batum by recent stats considering the dumpster fire he's been burning in, he used to be a very solid 2 way wing that would defend the top wing player and also was a good secondary creator averaging almost 6 assists per game for several years at his peak.

If Batum is just rusty rather than rotten, he could be a decent Jrue replacement that would probably be cheaper to resign than Jrue would be to extend. Also, to Teddy's point about will Jrue even take an extension, if he won't you need to start looking to trade him and find some sort of replacement.
