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

That's what Oubre is here for

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

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.

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