Ingram is the 3rd best player on a championship contender. See Kris Middleton. We already have one of those in CJ.
Darkhorse985 04-16-2024, 11:40 PMA laker fan who like Ingram. ..no surprise
Ingram to me is a low impact player...I don't see him as the second best player on a title team
I like Murray, he'd be a great addition. He's not a suitable replacement for Ingram, even with Capela. Think about what that squad gets you in the playoffs,
Nichols 04-16-2024, 11:26 PMThe team would be better with Murray and Capela than BI, an actual PG and athletic center over a volume midrange shooting strawman. There isn’t
Darkhorse985 04-16-2024, 11:08 PMI'm trying to understand your post. You said, Ingram can't carry this team for long stretches, and suggest trading for two players that you said could
Nichols 04-16-2024, 11:06 PMThis team will never win with their top 2 players being injury prone. BI is Kris Middleton. Paying Middleton has hamstrung the Bucks. Giannis is what
Darkhorse985 04-16-2024, 10:55 PMOnly two conditions under which you trade those kind of players. They're bad for the locker room, or they demand a trade. If you're a big market team,
Nichols 04-16-2024, 10:53 PMYou're right. This team, as currently constructed, is fine and we do not need cap flexibility. That's why we won, and haven't just lost a game in the
Pelicanidae 04-16-2024, 10:40 PMTrading BI talk is silly.
No team trades a player of his level for lesser players without blowing up the team.
Emotional
Is it proven that Ingram doesn't work?? No, it isn't. This team, as constructed is what hasn't worked. If you don't pay Ingram, you're going to pay someone
Nichols 04-16-2024, 10:16 PMWell, how many stars play up to the value of their contracts currently? This concern you and the other gentleman have, I get.. But in today's NBA, players
Nichols 04-16-2024, 10:09 PMThe problem is that even in this hypothetical setup you outline, you need two Ingram tiered players to make it work.
If you pay Ingram
I don't think his on court impact with that max contract will be anywhere close to what he will need to provide to this team. Once that contract is done,
Mount_Zion 04-16-2024, 10:00 PMAnd Zion will be leaving.
Nichols 04-16-2024, 09:57 PMNot sure what that means. He's not the best player on a championship team. I wouldn't say he's the second best either. I'd consider him a second tier

I've said a million times and I still believe it, BI has massively *massively* improved since coming here from the Lakers and went from being actively
