Jrue is actually the point guard I think would be the best fit for the Lakers but was ranked 5 out of 6 because I gave his Feasibility a ‘C.’ which put him behind easier to acquire and less costly targets Schroder, Dragic, CP3, and Rose.
Frankly, I would even be willing to give up Caruso instead of THT if the Pelicans were interested. There’s also the possibility of removing some of the protection on the two picks we owe them. There is no point guard or shooting guard out there whom I would rather have be the Lakers third star. He would be perfect.
Of course, the competition is going to be heavy from Milwaukee, Philadelphia, and the Clippers to land Holidy. I’m sure they’re among the contending teams Shams is talking about. Just hope Rob is aslo one of the guys talking with Griff about Jrue. Trading for him would be lightning in a bottle for the Lakers and make them odds on favorites to win their second Covid championship.
