gotta wait and see the protections....also if there is a true bidding war (lolno) see what else is on the market. I'd rather get a young prospect back instead of yet another protected pick...our luck with that has been awful.

No BC. keep your eye on the ball. Leave Jrue for the offseason.
They say an analytics man doesn't have a heart, but I ran the numbers and nothing can be further from the truth - Sam Hinkie probably

I don't know about that. Underrated aspect of eating Ajinca is that he could slot in as our backup Center. He has shown some shotblocking and rebounding ability in the past. He may actually make Noel expendable assuming we can get value.

Yeah. That's the worst idea ever. That would ruin our pick and we'd have to pay Jrue more money this offseason to keep him.

Agree. Hell no on Jrue. Ruins our tank and we can get him for just money this summer anyway.

Well hey, I mean, if they want to add-in Jrue for Sergio, I'm not turning that down.

There clearly is not much of a market for Okafor. Not his fault Okafor sucks and was drafted into a terrible situation

The Kings game cancellation, was another missed opportunity. Two of the few GMs that are 'ripe for the picking', and Okafor missed the chance to impress them. - 12/10/16

love Jrue.

I mean I was captain #hesonly19doe...

but not right now...especially if we could get him in FA. Thats rushing things a bit too fast..especially with the secret tank over the last few weeks pushing us out of the playoff race..

More about we can get him for cap space in the offseason. This only makes sense if we're trying to make the playoffs this year.

Loved Jrue too. I remember I had bought his jersey 2 weeks before draft day :lol:
