Message: [QUOTE="Melancer46, post: 5419167, member: 1674"] I don't think anyone thinks Jrue was a failure in Milwaukee but in between the handful of huge defensive plays that he made, there was a lot of agonizingly bad offense. His TS% in the playoffs was Michael Carter-Williams/Eric Bledsoe levels of bad and unlike them, he was taking a lot of shots. Thinking that Dame's value in the half court offensively would offset the defensive downgrade wasn't necessarily a bad idea. The issue is (1) we literally never got to see Giannis and Dame both healthy in the playoffs and (2) the rest of the roster is just very bad at this point and doesn't cover up any of Dame's weaknesses. This also doesn't factor in the weird buzz that Jrue was putting out that he might retire instead of re-signing with Milwaukee. I don't really understand why he floated that as a possibility and then acted like Milwaukee betrayed him by trading him, but yeah. [/QUOTE]
