I do too, but TBF i think Jrue and Reke are 2 and 2a
"I don't know if people know — I dislocated my pinkie finger. And [Tyreke] told me, 'You wanna go home or you wanna be here?' I want to be here. And he said, 'All right, then go tape it up and let's play. Let's go. We not stoppin' at no stores. Straight gas. That's what we do, just keep going.'"

I will say this, you certainly pick some interesting hills to die on sometimes
We are playing so well without Nerlens too.....
By that logic, then why not start a 'What would you trade AD for?" thread. I mean, if the Cavs offered Lebron and Kyrie, we would have to consider it.
To me, it just gets old sometimes. Tyreke has a few bad games and there is his trade thread. Then, he plays well, and here comes the 'Move Jrue to the bench' and 'Jrue's trade value' thread.
I have told you this before, and I mean it - you have some valuable basketball insight at times, but 80% of your threads, if not more, are trade threads. Jrue isn't going anywhere, and I personally don't see how it is "fun" to discuss trading a guy who is here to stay. And to be honest, if we did trade Jrue for some guy you love now, you know that you would have that guy in a trade thread after a poor 3 game stretch.
I just wish you would share your insights about our current team more rather than spending so much time on trade threads, but it is a free country. Just my $.02

Asik>Noel. Jrue>Noel.
CP3
Heh
Dragic and Gerald Green.
I know it is all in fun but no way would I trade Davis, Holiday or Evans. Evans in my opinion is a poorman's Lebron except he is a couple inches shorter and doesn't have Lebrons insane athletic abilty and Evans can bull his way to the paint like Lebron can. I think the best part about those 3 is they are all still very young.
Ok a few things:
1. Why not start an AD trade thread? Because I don't want to know what people on here would be willing to give up for AD, this thread was about Jrue, so... case closed on that.
2. You have no idea if Jrue is here to stay or not, you have your opinions that he is a long term option, which I also think he is, but u can't say that him being here in set in stone.
I've made plenty of others threads, like how well players are doing in certain stretches, how it seems that everyone who comes to NOLA from else where sees a significant drop in their defensive rating, I just so happened to make this thread and want to know what people thought of Jrue's trade value. Still can't figure out why people who can't bring insight to the topic insist on posting in it.
I really hope u don't take this as me being rude, and I appreciate u saying u value my basketball insight, but i'm just telling u how it is. This is a place for pelicans fans to talk about what interests them and things they enjoy, and thats all i'm doing. I wouldn't ever tell u to not write detailed articles about the pelicans simply because they don't interest me, because u enjoy it, and thats why we are here.

thats how I feel.
well Green is gonna be an UFA so change it from gerald green to miles plumlee and I might do it.
For someone who will be able to stop you from posting trade threads
Just a laugh guru heh, we all can be insufferable, myself included
I'd stab you both if either of those trades happened. The type of player I'd be looking to get back for Jrue is Lillard and the reason I'd do that trade is because of Jrue's injuries the last 2 years. Jrue is 80% of Lillard's offense but Lillard is about 60% of Jrue's defense.
That's why I said in my original post that there's no answer to this question. Because any trade we would move Jrue in is something the other team wouldn't do. He is 2nd as far as valuable to this team goes.

Mmm, Lillard would be a fun one too.
I think Jrue is as tradable as anyone not named AD. If the right offer comes around you listen, and if it really is something that can benefit the team you kick it around with the top brass. I hope the front office only views AD as untradable, as he is the only one you can honestly pinpoint our success to.
If you Jimmer it, they will come.
Sure I agree that if the right offer came along. But what team is going to offer enough for him? We don't want prospects or picks. And his injury concerns will decrease his trade value far below what we paid for him. I just can't imagine any trade that both sides would agree to.
Do you actually believe this?
They are remarkably similar offensively with the only clear stand out thing Lillard doing better being getting to the line. Everything else either one or the other is within ~5% of each other. The 20% I give to Lillard is because of his offensive intangibles.
Lillard >> Jrue. He puts his team on his back alot more and is probably the clutchest player in the league. give me the big shot maker over defense
I hear ya, but Dragic is an absolute beast, would i trade jrue straight up for him? No, would I do it for Dragic and Plumlee, well that is hard to pass up. You would never be able to get Lillard for him because offense is more highly valued than defense sadly.
thats how I feel, thank you.
I probably would if Dragic contract wasnt expiring
straight up? Na couldn't do it, Dragic doesn't do anything better than Jrue besides finish at the rim IMO. Jrue is a better passer, rebounder, defender, 3pt shooter, etc.
Plus Dragic is 28, and Jrue is only 24.
What Dragic did last year without the other PGs in his way was pretty ridiculous. He's a better player than Jrue, I think he would make a better #2 option to AD
sorry i just can't agree, like I said, the only thing dragic does better than jrue is finish tough layups around the rim, Jrue is better at everything else, is younger, and will be on a cheaper contract than Dragic. Just my opinion though, not saying ur wrong.
He's also 28 turning 29. He'd be 33 before we make any serious noise and start declining. No thanks.
