Great defenders get 3rd team all defense. Elite gets 1st and 2nd. Has Jrue ever even received a single vote? If nobody outside of this forum will state that Jrue is a ELITE defender, then why is it "common knowledge" on these forums?
ABOVE AVERAGE. Best on our team? Hands down. Compared to his peers ----- ABOVE AVERAGE.
For the OP's question. I would trade Jrue for almost anything. He still has a little trade value. When he re-injures his right leg again next year, his value sinks down to zero. Actually, absolute zero...... -273.15 CELSIUS
Jrue is a great player, but so was Brandon Roy. I really hope I am wrong, and I eat crow for years and years. But I am super concerned about Jrue''s chronic problem, and feel we should move forward now, before it is too late.
