I think people are really underestimating Suggs. He’s a fantastic fit with the current roster and he’s done exactly what you want to see young guys do, he’s gotten better every year. Say he takes another jump to 15/16 points per game next year, you break up your three primary on ball below average defensively franchise pieces with a guy that can play on or off ball, whose a hell of a defender, and is still young and getting better like I said. I absolutely love the thought of Suggs.
I see the fit appeal of this, but you are taking a quarter and getting like 3 dimes and 2 nickels back.
Someone like Dejounte Murray has fit and is another quarter. If we give up a quarter without getting one back, it will be harder to acquire one in the future if good fit isn't enough.
Also, why do people think Suggs is such a great fit. It looks like his strengths are defense and off ball play. His drive and assists numbers are terrible. Especially with BI going out, we need someone coming back that can be a play maker. This trade makes the team's biggest existing flaw, the flaw that smart and tough teams used to shut the Pels down every time, even worse.

It’s why I’ve been pushing to get Trae off the Hawks instead of Murray. At this point though, I’d be focusing on one of those two unless some team blows you out of the water with something unexpected.
I think the trade would help both teams with better fits.

Exactly. This somewhat plays into my "rebuilding" comments in the other thread. If we're not getting legit players back, it's a bad deal for our current roster construction.

Yes. This is the issue with lots of options being posted for BI.
Trading BI means we need to get back another guy who can create his own offense, or else we're going to be real fricking ugly on offense next year with one guy on the roster who can create his own shot and playmake (Zion). And we still have a major hole at 5.
