Exactly, the jury is still out on Tatum. I get why the Boston shill wants to hype Tatum, because he wants AD. What I don't get is why a lot of people here seem to think Tatum is some sure-fire lock.
Where has anyone said Tatum was a lock? I just think many think he is the best asset of those that have been rumored to be involved in a potential trade.

I see him as having flashed as much or more potential than any other young piece mentioned in addition to having an extra year on his contract that Ingram doesn’t.

Will he be the best player out of any of the ones mentioned? Not necessarily. But he has a high floor, he fits a position of need, and we would have control over him for longer than his comparable number from the Lakers.

Better than Beal? I get the Beal thing is a long-shot but my specific point in this thread is that Tatum is not a better asset than Beal.

In a vacuum, though, if you throw out an outlier like Beal then, yes, I agree that Tatum is the most valuable asset. But whether or not the package that includes him is better overall than the Lakers (or another team's) package is debatable.

And, yes, I've seen a decent number of people on here saying "I just want Tatum and be done with it." That logic is shortsighted.

Very very good distinction. We have no idea how good Tatum will be, but even if he doesn’t become the next KD, he has a high floor. He’s a low risk/high reward guy
