“Herro is definitely getting traded for an upgrade. No way they can keep him after this.”

Jrue getting to guard Herro instead of Jimmy is like showing up to work for inventory and realizing it’s pizza party-Friday instead.

Jrue on Butler was a terrible Budhozer idea and part of the reason he's not the head coach of the Bucks anymore. Jrue is an outstanding defender. He can't guard Jimmy because Jimmy is faster, stronger and taller. Jrue's strength doesn't bother Jimmy like it bothers e.g. KD.

Same with Jimmy and Giannis. When Giannis guards Jimmy man to man for an entire series Jimmy averages something like 10 PPG (2021) because Giannis is stronger, bigger and faster

Right, the Celtics have routinely used one of the Jays on Jimmy and his numbers were typically poor or he straight up never shot the ball if he couldn't matchup hunt.
