Jrue's contract may come back to haunt us. Pritchard out playing him. Holiday and White have been terrible over the last month. Jrue looks he hit a wall. Ime rumored to be after Rob Will. We need to try to get Eason or Whitmore out of Houston. Walsh Springer Queta work in a 3 way for Eason, Reath and Camara, then, we move Tillman for a more athletic and versatile Jeremiah Robinson Earl. Reath an upgrade on Queta, Eason Camara and JRE give us size, versatility, and quickness

Hey Adam! appreciate the well-reasoned answers and i agree. I'd rather keep PP in his 6MMOTY role and play sam over drew.

However, i also posed that question to see if there were logical reasons for there 2 to have changes in their role (jrue to the bench, sam from 7th man to 9th man). As while i also had the same answer as yours, i'm a believer that:

1. father time is undefeated. Jrue will eventually be better served coming off the bench/lesser role. Just not for PP. whether this is Sam in a triple wing lineup , luke in a double big lineup or whoever we'd get in the springer trade.

2. Sam's change in role/mins is temporary. I just dont want him to strain his back further. Whether thats more luke mins, walsh mins or whoever comes in the springer trade, i'd like sam to be used like neemi (situationally) until he can get himself right. Playing him heavy mins isnt helping. Or maybe it is. He did have a good game vs. The warriors. I could be wrong here.

I was interested to read your comment "I’m a big believer in winning habits" when Joe just kind of went out and said that he still believes in this group because of 'I trust the character, mindset and preparation of our team'.
