Credit David Fisher for being right again!

I actually thought he was wrong here about Jrue as I was leaning on giving him(Jrue) the money. I was kind of wrong. Should have traded him instead of Buddy. Anyway it is what it is!

ICYMI: Our own @DavidFisherTBW was out on Jrue Holiday on January 8th.https://t.co/OuOwtrlfS9

Welcome, all of you on that "not paying Jrue big 💰" train. I've been expecting you.

Jrue had a really good game up until the final 2 possessions. He had played 38 minutes, put up an efficient 18 pts with 13 assists and only 1 turnover all game. Then he had two bad turnovers on the final two possessions. Before that he was running the offense with command... splitting defenders off the screen, making beautiful passes, driving to the rim. With the game on the line he seemed to have a lapse in focus. Jrue apologized to his teammates for the turnovers. That could not have felt good to let the team down. The players and front office seem to want him back. I think he is coming back. I don't think he will get a max contract.

And not just once he screwed up, but twice. Then clanked it on his third and final redemption at the buzzer.

I don't think there is a player I have ever followed that I have had such a roller coaster of an opinion on. I didnt like the initial trade years back, but I warmed up to him by last season, now I just don't even know. He manages too often to make what is otherwise good performances into tragedies.

I do feel this though, the moment the ink dries on whatever we pay him, he will be our next Gordon/Asik/Posey.

To me he seems like a Shaun Livingston in the making. A guy that won't ever cut it as a premiere guy on a premiere team at point guard, but once he is on the decline will settle in as a really great piece for some championship team off the bench.

He would flourish under Popovic

What do you mean "instead of Buddy?" At what point was that even an option? Should we have told the Kings they had to take Jrue and not Buddy?

I think Jrue was on the table. But the Kings wanted Heid.

This is why we need a true PG next year and put Jrue at the 2.

We'll have Moore and Crawford. Is $25m for another combo guard really smart?

I'm with you. But where do we get that from? We'd have to draft one assuming we get a top 3 pick or trade for one with another 1st rounder in the future.

Only have to trade a 1st rounder if it's a star. You might be able to get a DJ Augustin type without giving up much, and that would be an upgrade over Frazier. Ish Smith would be an upgrade over Frazier.

Never saw any mention of Jrue being involved in the Cousins trade. Regardless, we could force them to take him instead of Buddy.

Couldn't careless about how he finished last night, unless he wants something like 30M he needs to be resigned.

Yes it is. Moore and Crawford are perfect guards coming off the bench. A true PG to control the offense with Holiday as the SG and defender/secondary ball handler/3pt jump shooter.

Jrue is a at best bottom tier 2 guard in the league.
Again film don't lie. Look at the Bulls game.
Butler ate him up and spit him out.

I'm starting to think we have to credit David Fisher as being Champ.
