Miami is the fit. Obviously there are other teams but Miami makes the most sense. It's the simple deal of Lowry, Jaquez, Jovic and their firsts in 2028 and 2030. The one thing I wonder about is if we get unprotected swaps too since Jrue is such an amazing fit for Miami.
We had to trade two 1st rounders for Covington. I would suspect Jrue is at least twice as valuable than Covington was. Not saying we’ll get four draft picks, but it better be at least two solid ones. Not late round picks from contending teams. We need additional picks from now until 2029 to help fill out this team.
Tobias Harris and two picks works as well. Ideally, I'd like a front court player who might become something, but a strict salary dump can work as well if it comes with at least 2 picks with minimal protections.
Robust market. Blazers know Jrue is gonna fetch some good value. https://forums.realgm.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=2321335&start=20 One look at what fans ware offering for Jrue gives you an idea of his BASELINE value. Now that he's actively being shopped Blazers are hoping a team slightly overpays.
Teams would easily offer 2 1sts. Then it's about whether a bidding war will make a team offer a 3rd 1st - or some young players.
Ironically, we trade a great but way overpaid PG in Dame and get a very good 2-way PG on a much better contract (2 yr max) that will likely be in much greater demand from a lot more teams! well done Joe
Is Jrue worth more than OG and Gradey Dick? That's what we were talking about the return from Toronto to be.
As good of a fit as Jrue would be in Miami he might be an even better fit for Toronto. I think Brooklyn gets value in filling a position of need at SG and both getting to see if they like Gary and they'll have his Bird rights. I think that's worth the tax hit and second rounders. I don't know if this would keep us above the salary floor but I think it would and the savings would make Jody very happy. If we were really enamored with Dick, this would be a home run. Obviously we are the Bucks in this trade.
That's what I'm thinking. OGs value with an expiring contract is a lot closer to Jrue than it is Dame.
