Look at that Jrue trade now. It did nothign to make us better, and no we didn't need it to get CJ.


To be fair, I think Griffin was banking on Giannis leaving and trying to do right by Jrue.

Ok kewl. Let’s not make the centerpiece of the BI trade hope. It’s a terrible trade return.

It just hurts looking back bc there were rumors of Huerter and 6 for Jrue. Golden State had the 2nd pick and was also rumored to want Jrue.

Look idk if our front office would’ve drafted the right player or not, but even if you just turned Jrue into #6 and Huerter, theoretically we would’ve had a shot at Tyrese Haliburton in that draft. And you can say that’s hindsight, but there were a lot of fans of him on this board pre draft. Huerter also would’ve been a nice shooting fit on this team around Zion and with a PG like Hali.

Instead we traded Jrue for Bledsoe, Adams and shitty picks. I understand wanting to do right by a player to an extent, but as a front office you should value doing right for your organization and fanbase vs the guy that is requesting a trade.
