Yes! Pay him the MAX!
No! Spend the money elsewhere!
Don't know/Don't Care!
Jrue has been overrated since day one in this franchise. His game isn't a needle mover. His hype was due to his level of play at a young age but since he has never gotten better. But I think your value would look inflated when you are out you replacement is a fringe NBA guy. When Tyreke replaced Jrue we didn't miss a beat. It's time to move in a new direction and stop investing in past assets.
1-6
Always expected this should have traded him when we had the chance. The only way we keep Jrue is if we max him.Originally Posted by DaBrow
I'm going to call it. He going to the Knicks. Phil Jackson has interest in him. He will be united with his brother.
Good. The way he finished the year I wouldn't pay a dime over $18m for him. Glad he wants to go elsewhere.
I'd be happy with a sign and trade to whatever team he wanted to go to.
If true, it is sad that the Pelicans did not figure this out before the trade deadline and get some assets for him.
As much as Demps and Gentry stressed the importance of bringing Jrue back in the pressers today, I can't imagine that's true. Maybe he's noncommittal, which would be bad enough, but there's no way they'd drop Jrue's name so much if they knew he "does not plan on coming back."
well,,if jrue bounce on then gentry and demps wont look bad and get the blame....
They really want to resign him. That becomes impossible if we trade him. Even if Jrue expressed intentions to "explore other options" if the goal is to resign him then having Boogie and being able to give him a bigger contract than anyone else is big incentive. Maybe he takes it, maybe he doesn't but you can't control that part.
It's possible he's undecided. They've been going way out of their way to make Jrue feel wanted and needed since the Cousins trade. But if they KNOW he's leaving, which is what the post we're replying to said, then you don't keep talking about how important he is to your team going forward.
Unless of course they are trying to makes the Jrue lovers feel happy.....and when he doesn't re-sign they can say we tried our best.
I don't think they KNOW anything about Jrue's intentions. Which is a problem. Hopefully they're prepared for whatever happens, because AD and Cousins are an awesome foundation that should reach the playoffs next year if the right pieces, with or without Jrue, are in place.

Is the use of past tense meaningful/insightful in anyway...?
Did they ever say this about EG or Ryno?
Not saying they know for a fact that he isn't coming back. Just that there are little things that have happened, that seems like he is on his way out. I do know for a fact that they definitely want him back, though.
Appreciate the insight. It will certainly be interesting, and this will be his first true time at free agency too right? So will be interesting.
well, if jrue dont come back,,who will be the number one target demps go after?.....
I would still prefer they re-sign him, purely because I think Dell would hurt us even more if he had all that money to spend in free agency. We would end up throwing too much money at guys even less proven than Jrue and of course they will turn up here and grossly underperform.
That's the million dollar question. We could go two different ways. Either clear as much cap space as possible and try to sign a max type player or try and trade for a player. Maybe even a combo of signing someone to the amount Jrue's cap hold was trading for a player
Are you still on that island refusing to believe a sign and trade is a possibility?
There is a difference between saying it's not possible and that it won't happen.
I don't believe a sign and trade will happen.
im going to start it off.....i predict the jazz will beat the clippers 4-1 and the fallout in LA will be bad.......we then do a sign and trade with jrue for cp3.....cp3 then talk jj redick into signing with the pelicans ......boogie and cp3 work it out and get us deep into the playoffs next season......there it is lol......
If Jrue wants to go then bye. He just has not and probably will never reach his potential. I'm thinking there have been preliminary talks, and the team isn't committing to what the Jrue camp wants.
Same thing happened with Gordon and why he was so mad with the team. But Phoenix offered a max and the team matched. I'm thinking that will NOT happen this time around. They won't offer more than a set value they have in mind.
I'd prefer Tyreke over Jrue at this point.
Hopefully the unemployment line.

I'd say there is a 4 percent chance Jrue will be back next season.
