re: Darius garland or Trae young

I think this is the disconnect. Given everything involved, on and off the court, I don't think Trae is a top 25 player. I think he's closer to 40 than he is 25, to be honest. I would have him somewhere between 32-36ish. I would have BI pretty close to that as well.

But that doesn't make sense because BI is nowhere near as good as Trae Young. That's really, really not close.

I think everyone we're talking about here, Trae, BI, Garland, Murray, are all hovering around the same area. Same tier sort of deal, give or take.

1 guy is the clearcut best player in that group.

So back to the motive, why I ask, you can't be against BI's max but be for Trae's. That doesn't make much sense.

Becuase Trae is clearly better.

He's averaged 27 & 10 over the past 5 seasons. At some point, we have to ask what are we doing here wondering if guys like BI/Garland/Murray are better...they're not, and it's not close.


Now if you want to argue culture and locker room reasons, I get that. But best player, it's Trae.
