For those worried about Jrue's contract becoming an albatross: he's not going to be top 40 in the NBA in salary next season and by the time season actually starts he might not be top 50. As the cap continues to rise, he'll continue to fall down that list.
I imagine some of the calculus here might be that the front off knows they are likely to be a team operating over the 2nd apron going forward and so if Jrue is washed in 2027 and they need to make some kind of move, they'll want to have a salary of his size to attach picks to in order to bring back a good player.
