re: Do you think Griff and the front office are satisfied with just beating average/bad teams?

To me the question is how to take that next step? Is it as simple as swapping BI for someone?

Ingram had more than enough clout built to warrant at least the majority of this season to play out before deciding that he is a fit/isn't long term.

Unfortunately now that we have done that, were there. This isn't working.

The problem with his play is simple consistency. He plays about 4 different games. There volume 3s and to the rim Ingram, middy Ingram, and pg Ingram with low fga, and the dreaded mixed bag of all 3 in one game.

He looks uncomfortable as shite out there. There's a rigidity to his game now that has him playing the worst ball of his career at this time, which is awful if you want to trade him

Which is even worse because his value will be even lower this offseason unless he changes drastically.

I say all this to prepare you guys for Griff not getting enough for B.I. in his eyes at the deadline, and keeping him. My even bigger fear is that we don't get a good distributor back, and are stuck with essentially Z and CJ as the pgs of the offense.

I’ve suspected BI wasn’t the best fit, but that’s because of his preferred playing style, not his skill set. Still, we needed to actually see it in action, because if he could change things up like CJ has then it could work. But he hasn’t, which strongly suggests that he won’t. It’s a shame it took literal years to get here.

I would REALLY like to get an informed opinion...as to exactly WHAT...we could get in a fair trade for Zion and/or BI.

For instance, for Zion, could we realistically get a top 35 player...that would fit?

And for BI...maybe a top 50 player that also fits?

I haven't been around here for long...but I think I have BOTH Zion and BI rated quite a bit lower...than most others around here do.
