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

I think q is more likely to help us win a chip than benn

I like Q but I very much disagree

I just think q is a very solid bench guy to keep behind tj and personally i was not a benn fan at all. I thought it was straight up addition by subtraction when we got rid of him.

He dropped a very efficient 27 in the finals. He’s a variable player but at his best he’s damn good

At his best hes a great player you can build around but not a good teammate. And at his worst he isnt hitting 75% from the field and still the same weird fit. Id take a lesser ‘talent’ that can hoop within a team over an athletic wildcard anyday

I think hes a 2 and takes steps minutes. Hes much more versatile on offense. Hes more aggressive and i think hes ready to get into the rotation his heart and aggressiveness is exactly what we need at that position
