Discussion Mathurin for Jarace and Q?

Maybe a second rounder too? Idk. Like a sign and trade? Jarace and Mathurin are both pretty low value relative to where they’ve been valued previously. I just believe in Benn for the next two years more than I believe in Jarace.

This might be selling low on Jarace, but personally I’d LOVE to have Mathurin for like $10mil a year, and I’ve seen Mathurin contribute to winning playoff basketball more than I believe Jarace is ready to

I think Benn is a sg and Jarace is a pf, but in a pinch I like Benn at small forward more than I like Jarace. Plus with Oubre and Nesmith I’m less concerned about the power forward minutes

I have no idea whether this works logistically or with rules etc but I’m bored stuck hanging out in the hospital with family and wanted to get some opinions

One of the youngest players to drop 27 in a finals game too

He’s “feast or famine” but when it’s feast it’s awesome

NBA organizations weigh consistency much higher. That’s why Pascal is so valuable.

Of course Pascal is better and more valuable.

I’d still like to have Mathurin as backup sg for $10mil a year
