Or when playing another good team, their big 3 scores 80 points while Jrue checks in with 8 points, 1 steal, and 0 free throws on 4 - 15 shooting.
The time to use Jrue's talent and contract to help fill some of the remaining holes on this team in a trade is now.
And while he is a great guy and two-way player, this team doesn't "owe" him anything than his money and a thank you letter. See the first sentence. And it certainly doesn't need to help some other team get a title by trading him their way. He gets traded to whomever offers the best assets, even if that be Atlanta.
