Agreed, a lot of teams were showing interest in Dame and while I disagree with whoever the fuck posted that Dame and Jrue have comparable value, Jrue is a legit starting PG in this league, he piloted his team to the best record in the league last season and probably would have taken them to the conference finals if Giannis hadn't been injured. So all of those teams that lost out on Dame can either adjust their offers to fit Jrue or if their offers were already shit they can just give us what they were trying to fleece us with.
Jrue Holiday hopes to sign extension, retire a Milwaukee Buck https://www.nbcsports.com/nba/news/jrue-holiday-hopes-to-sign-extension-retire-a-milwaukee-buck
Imagine having a PG that can defend. We haven't really had that since Greg Anthony. I wouldn't mind keeping him a year. I suspect he'd opt into his player contract which pays $40 mil next year, and we can deal him then to a contender. I suspect the plan is to trade him now though. His value may actually be a bit higher than Dame because he doesn't have the massive 60+ million dollar contract in 3-4 years.
Jrue Holiday should bring back tons of value. Arguably the best guard/perimeter defender in the league. He actually shot the 3 at a better % than Dame the last 3 seasons. He’s the same age as Dame.
Still need to read through this thread, but I love the idea of getting Herro! LMAO Herro/Jovic/Future 1st Then we can flip Herro for Simmons and a pick or something.
Are there any people that still think Cronin is a dunce who is out of his league as an NBA GM? There were some that were loud and obnoxious and have lost any credibility they had. Which is a shame, because some of them had something to add as a Blazer Fan, but had to go on and on and on how Joe fucked up the Norman Powell trade and they were sure he'd get fleeced in a Dame trade, even making up ridiculous one-sided results as an example of what they expected.
Exactly this. As Jrue became an iron, they were already putting out feelers for his value. They either find something they like now, or he mentors Scoot for 4 months till the Trade Deadline.
Yeah, let the bidding begin. Nothing awkward about bringing Jrue to camp but it would be cool if we got this done before Monday so whoever we do get for Jrue gets a full training camp with this young team.
