"Average at best." Lol okay. There is a sizable contingent here who really believes Jrue is a total scrub...

I have my doubts about Jrue but he is no scrub. He is a two way player and there arent that many. I would prefer Jrue at 22m rather than Teague at 19. 25m is not the best deal but it's not horrible. Jrue is solid but there is quite a good chance we all will be happy with his contract and regret there is player option in his 5th year. Another positive aspect of giving him the contract is that the organization did exactly what they had been saying for months and that must be something new for Cousins . We need to add another starting guard and find some bench pieces and we are ready to compete next year. I just hope we dont overpay Jrue's brother
At his best Jrue is a phenomenal player, he's already in pre season training, so is AD, so is DmC.
This is going to be a special year for us
Right!!! They don't know bball...
I'd lump Holiday with Teague and George Hill as the 13-15 best point guards in the league. Holiday is making $6-11 million a year more than Teague with twice as much guaranteed money. $6-11 million would buy us a true sixth man. We don't even have a starter quality SG or SF. 3 years for $57 million vs 5 years for 125 to 150 million. That is just stupid.

PF, that's the give and take. We are giving them a promising young big, a 1st round pick & they are getting rid of 30 million guaranteed. So, they eat Asiks contract and pick up 2 young players. Pho would probably offer us Knight faster than Bledsoe. 45 guaranteed for 3 yrs on his. I think I would prefer Bledsoe.

When will people realize that whether he got $17m or $30m we are still over the cap for the next 3 seasons (assuming we maxing Boogie which is the plan) and that those $6-$11m are not spendable on any FA?
"I'm not going to allow my putative owner to answer that question, this is an NBA related press conference. Paul Tagliabue and Roger Goodell have collectively sung their praises of Tom and if uh ESPN has a problem with that tell Mr. Skipper to call me at my office."
If Crabbe's contract wasn't bad, Portland wouldn't be looking to move it one year in. It is widely acknowledged as terrible. Disagreeing with that assesment either shows a lack of understanding about the player or the market.
I'm not even going to get into Jrue's contract because that's been covered extensively enough. The facts are there, you can interpret them how you want. But using Crabbe's contract to justify Jrue's is plain silly.
If anything, Crabbe's contract is an example of what not to do, which is to overpay because everyone else is. That's how bad teams operate.

Whats a "true sixth man"? Because Jordan Crawford played as well as the guy the just won the award for that. His stats say as much.
And if you are going to include the $11 million incentivized portion of Holiday's contract, then he is no longer in your 13-15 group now is he?
