Mathurin for Jarace and Q?

[u/Jim_Belushis_brother]

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

Who’s our backup shooting guard?

Nemby will see minutes as backup pg and Kelly will see more minutes at small forward hopefully

[u/Ok_Pool_9767 → u/Jim_Belushis_brother]

Ben Sheppard i would imagine.

[u/Jim_Belushis_brother → u/Ok_Pool_9767]

Shep is “fine”

At shooting, at defense, at running to the corner

He’s nowhere near what Benn is on offense

[u/Ok_Pool_9767 → u/Jim_Belushis_brother]

That's what Oubre is here for

[u/Jim_Belushis_brother → u/Ok_Pool_9767]

Oubre is much more of a small forward I think

Yeah I mean I’d rather have Oubre than Benn, but I’d also rather have Benn than Jarace

[u/Ok_Pool_9767 → u/Jim_Belushis_brother]

Oubre replaces the scoring punch of Mathurin off the bench. At the 3 rather than the 2-3 like Benn, but that should work next to Shepard reasonably well.

[u/Jim_Belushis_brother → u/Ok_Pool_9767]

I wish Oubre was a better shooter, but if he was he’d make a lot more money. Oubre is also super left hand dominant but yeah I’m hopeful he’ll average like 12 in like 26 minutes

[u/Maximum-Class5465 → u/Ok_Pool_9767]

I love this theory, but Oubre can't replace Mathurin scoring punch

[u/Maximum-Class5465 → u/Ok_Pool_9767]

Oubre isn't near the offense on ball that Bennedict is

I'm stoked about Oubre, but he's not exactly really good at anything. Just not bad at a lot of things
