Miami can never be discounted and Philly still has the talent to compete for a title, but it sorts out the playing field. In addition, while Milwaukee is formidable and maybe better, they have less wing defense talent to match up against Tatum and Brown.
It seems like Jrue will have a lot of suitors. I hear the Celtics while interested, probably isn't likely. From what I understand they would have to include Brogdon (they seem fine with that) and either Robert Williams or Al Horford. Plus a pick or two. That seems like a lot. But if it was Williams, would you have an interest in him? Any idea what his value is?
I think Miami makes sense as the team who will go after and likely get Jrue. They will probably offer the same package they offered for Dame. It may not have been enough to get Dame, but it might be enough for them to get Jrue.
The Bulls are another team who could trade for him. Jrue would replace Lonzo and fit in well along Lavine, DeRozan, Vucevic.
