re: Shamit Dua thinks we need to get Towns or Kristaps even if it means trading Ingram or CJ.

I think they have 3 long term starters on the roster in Trey, Dyson and Zion

I believe BI is the most central piece on this team, I believe he has been miscast as a primary facilitator and should be more of a finisher (as well as Zion). This obviously requires a real point, that the Pels haven't had. Closest being a flawed Lonzo, but who in the season he played coincided with BI and Zion playing relatively healthy.

The point position is the most demanding from a physical conditioning standpoint. BI gets worn down with double/triple teams and Zion gets beat-up and overextends himself, leading in my opion, to their injury history.

Of course Zion and BI will have the ball in their hands often but I think, at least in my mind .... lol, that assigning primary point duties to them is a fools errand. Pels arguably have top 5 finishers in the league at SG, SF, and PF (CJ, BI and Zion) but they're killing them off asking them to also be primary ball-handlers. I really like Dyson in this role long-term.
