It just isn't worth it to trade Jrue for less cap space and not as good of a player. If Batum agrees to re sign here for a good price then I'm all for it. But i'd rather Jrue walk and have 26 mil cap space over taking a chance with #2 and being stuck with Wiggins for several years at a high price.

cap space doesn't work like that.
We are going to be an over the cap team this offseason more than likely, unless we unload JJ and Lonzo and take back draft capital instead of salary.

And since this cap space is so important to you, give me a realistic option for us next offseason with this cap space you want to have? Do you realize that there will be many teams that will have max space next offseason? Teams that are actually good, like the Jazz, Heat, Raptors, Lakers, Mavs.
You know who had cap space and couldn't use it, Cleveland Lebron teams, then they used it on shitty players and had none.

Once again..from the view of our FO that 26 million going forward is more valuable. It doesn't necessarily mean a player this year. You have to look at players we can get the next few years. We can't do that if we are stuck with Wiggins for several years. Do you not see that? It isn't even about landing that guy or any specific person this year. Its about having the FLEXIBILITY. If you lock up Wiggins you don't have that and are stuck with your core no matter how good/ bad they play. 100% Lonzo or JJ or both will be gone and we aren't going into the tax yet.
