This is the exact player Jrue needs next to him and I have been saying it for a couple years. Jrue needs someone like Beal who can help take pressure of being able to create for others. We also now have Ingram who himself can play point forward at times taking even more pressure off Jrue having to create. Then you throw in Zion and Jrue now has 3 players who can all create for themselves while having their own unique ability to create for others. In the past Jrue has never played with anybody who could create for themselves or others and now he will potentially have 3!? AD is the only player and he is someone who needs a lot of his game created for as someone like Zion won’t. We need a guard like Beal next to Jrue who can flat out score the ball wether he is off ball or creating for himself.. Throw in some ability to play combo guard and you have a perfect compliment to Jrues game. Jrue is a PG and an all star one at that. Jrue compliments the play of any guard in the NBA which is why he looked good with Rondo as well anyone else he has been next to. Give me a SG like Beal/Booker over a PG like Wall/Russ/Conley/Kyrie next to Jrue any day. People forget how talented of a PG he is. Jrue has never had help in the backcourt since he played with Iggy in Philly where he thrived. IMO one of the best compliments in the NBA you could put next to Jrue is Beal and we have the chance to do that. Jrue is a great PG who simply needs a running mate so he can play his game and not try to be a CP3 type of PG.
This deal is going to be for the #4 pick and Lonzo along with possibly some additional picks. No way are we trading Ingram and don’t know why some are even bringing Jrue up in the deal. I hope we hold on to Josh Hart who I like a lot. Jrue/Beal with Frank/Hart off the bench would be awesome!
