Not even a question.

Dame is a superstar. Jrue isn't even close.


I would have kept Jrue over Dame 100 times out of 100. Wtf. Plays defense, doesn’t have to make 89 million dollars a year, etc??? HUH

We have been heard.

His head wasn't in the right place. He shifted his focus to basketball and even learned how to dribble while doing that. It took him 7 years to learn how to dribble, but he did it....


I remember Younger Jaylen Brown first Three years in the League cannot dribble n make plays, one day saw him made some sick crossover and exploded to the Rim for a thunderous Dunk, I said Ohhhh Snap!!! That’s the next Celtics Corner Stone!!! Tatum went GG mode by year 3 or 4 after Kyrie left :D

You want to say he fits a team better? That's fine....but individually? This isn't a debate

smh if you really think Jrue over Dame when your team is begging for half court offense...

Jrue was the primary ball handler in Milwaukee, he can't manage that role well. he would have looked better in the playoffs with a healthy Khris and another guard who can take on playmaking duty

I'd rather have Dame because he is easier to build with and the ceiling is higher. Giannis/Dame PnR can be all-time

You HAVE to factor in the COST or you arnt doing a genuine assessment at all. 25 mill a year vs 42-50 million a year, does he provide THAT much added value? 2 Jrue Holidays for one Dame…

Jrue winning with Boston and Milwaukee is the same energy as the NL East winning the world series twice but neither time was the Phillies

You mean drop 50 shots?

Cause he was closer to taking 50 shots than scoring 50 points


Except the mavs still didn’t hide Luka on Tatum. Every time Tatum forced a switch on Luka, Kyrie or PJ they still collapsed on him and he was finding wide open players on the perimeter or Jrue cutting into the line.

Yeah I think Jrue is better and more impactful at this stage of their careers. Lillard was the better player, but I think Jrue is timeless. Like Horford, where as Lillard has fallen off a lot.
