Would you trade Stuckey and Jerebko for the #2 pick?

[Hermy]

Wow, you really don't like Jerebko.

I didn't even have to mention he's a free agent who's coming off a year ending injury that players sometimes never recover from. This is an insane thread.

Would you trade Stuckey and #8 for the #2 pick?

IOW, is Jerebko better than what we could draft at #8?

I think at 8, we'll be hoping for similar things to what we've already seen from JJ.

I'll take #8 if for no other reason than the finances.

[Hermy]

Agreed, sans the injury and money.

[Glenn]

And what we know about Jerebko's skills and intangibles more than makes up for that, IMO.

[Hermy]

What are his skills?

[BIG BEN'S FRO]

I got to agree with Hermy. Seriously the guy has shown me he is worthy of a roster spot, asssuming he retains his form. Thats really it. With a lotto pick, there is at least a chance the guy will be a star. Unlikely, especially at 8, but still a possibility. JJ is decent, but thats all he has proven. I thought this trade would be obvious since it helps our guard glut marginally, helps our cap space significantly, and gives us a chance to add two lotto opportunities to Monroe without gutting the cap space. Give a year a whirl, and then use Rip's expiring deal. Man I thought this woukd be a slam dunk.

Would you trade Stuckey and #8 for the #2 pick?

Yes, in a second.

IOW, is Jerebko better than what we could draft at #8?

He's a know quantity at least. I feel confident that if he's unhampered by injury he could be a 7th man or so on a championship caliber team, and that certainly has a lot of value.

JJ will get you the garbage buckets most guys are too lazy for... extra possessions... decent shooting %... good positional D etc.... this in his first year.. why can't he continue to improve?

[micknugget]

Jerebko does the dirty work plus i'd really like to see him next to Monroe.
