The 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.

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

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,

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
Nichols 04-16-2024, 09:56 PMI'm not convinced Ingram is actually a winning player.
Mount_Zion 04-16-2024, 09:43 PMThat's what you'd rather have. I get the logic. Problem is, what you'd prefer won't translate to a significant improvement. Nor will it keep Zion here.

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,
