I think a lot of the bewildered push back you're running into is because the circumstances did change quite a bit to make this not even much of a discussion. Lonzo will probably start and we paid AD trade equity to get and keep him.

Moore is a solid player but we have enough depth now that he's become a bit of a luxury. If JJ is going to be the first guard off the bench and Ingram is going to run the 2nd unit, who do you have out there with them? Every time Moore dribbles I get nervous, I think I'd rather Frank instead of Moore

Frank
Redick
Ingram
Kenrich
Okafor

I wouldn't be upset if Moore got those minutes over Frank, I just think Frank fits better now and should be much better as he grows. That's another strike against Moore, he limits the minutes Frank would be getting. That's not even taking NAW's development minutes into consideration.

So this year it's really not even a question. Lonzo is much more important to the Pels than Moore.

Agreed tigerinatl. Revisiting this argument from last year I had to switch from Moore to Lonzo.

But at the same time, we are really gonna need Moore to stretch the floor for Lonzo etc, and we dont have a lot of 3 shooters to begin with.

So it seems obvious at first glance, but its hard to say. What if Ball gets hurt againor his shooting returns to abysmal? Moore has been more reliable/less injury prone.
