Who Would You Rather Have: Herro or Holiday?

Assuming price is relatively equal, who would you rather have?

  • Herro

  • Holiday

Results are only viewable after voting.
Celtics and Bucks are both pretty much All-in now. West has more competitive teams but East is heavier on the top.

Wonder what Embiid thinks right now? Or Don? Gonna be interesting times.

This is a Conley situation all over again. Sure, Jrue is a nice player and will instantly make us better, but he isn't enough to get us a ring and will take enough assets that we then stall out on adding anything else meaningful for 3-4 years, so we get to be good, just never good enough, all over again, in time to see us drop Lauri and Kessler and whoever else for assets so we can be having the same discussion 5 years from now, after having had several frustrating playoff exits.

No to both. Trust in Ainge. He'll use our assets for someone better. Just give him time. No need to jump on the first good player available. That feels too much like asking out the first girl that smiles at you because you're on the rebound and missing out on the girl of your dreams.

I don't think anyone is suggesting Jrue would be enough to get us a ring. But rather that he would be enough to set us up for becoming a contender. After getting Jrue, we would still have more than enough assets for adding another star player in the next 3 years if we could get Jrue to stay. His contract situation is the hard part here.

Oh well, it's THT season.

If we end up doing nothing to improve this absolute horror show of a backcourt, I'm calling the offseason a total failure.

THT and Dunn are not assets, they're barely NBA players. Anyone who thinks THT will improve his value just like that is dreaming. He had the perfect opportunity to do that in the 2nd half of last season and wasted it. Dude had ZERO market because teams are not dumb. Nobody wants a guy like that to run their team.

I can't believe we're starting the season with no playmakers and 9 shot-happy or overdribbling combo guards.
 
I don’t believe this directly relates to this as a potential deal, but I’ve felt that we’re rolling with what we’ve got for now. Collins is opportunity cost and will continue to be. I hope I’m wrong, but don’t feel that I am.

Tbh, i didn't really had hopes that could happen because it just felt the price would be too much to make sense for us (even i agreeing with the idea of trading for Jrue)

Even then, when i saw what it cost i was like Damn, that was something

In other words, we're tanking after all. JFC.

I had hope but I have main character syndrome and project it onto the Jazz. I think the package I outlined was close to what they got. Not convinced Williams will be a huge asset unless he can play 20-25 games with solid health. If he does they could flip him for a pick. Brogdon is maybe worth some seconds. Portland did pretty well but the picks are so far out.

DA is always looking and trying… way different from the previous regime that liked to wait to see if the phone would ring. I have no doubt we’ve been in all these convos.
