    Now that the JailBlazers have traded for Ja, the PG room is full. I’d throw something of value at them to pry Jrue? Ime has history and probably fits the mold. Plus he wins.

    There's probably 25-30 million reasons why

    Big salary.

    Besides, I'd rather us target Scoot.

    Not sure who you would have to give up. They will not take another PG so I would keep FVV out of trades.

    The Blazers likely have another trade lined up.

    They might trade him for expirings (ehem Fred) plus a pick or so now? I'd favor him over other vet options.

    Salary? He's clearly the better player and fit for us

    Kd for Jrue and Scoot works salary wise. They’ll need some veteran leadership, lol.
