[quote]Young being able to put up "27/10" is nice and all, but his usage rate goes up and his efficiency goes down in shooting.[/quote]The thought process here is less usage and thus higher efficiency. Some folks say he refuses less usage, but I'm not sure the facts agree. The previous 4 season...

[quote]I don't know, the fit is actually really good. Its just some of the other stuff IMO.[/quote]Garland isn't exactly a good fit in the sense that he becomes your #2 at $40mil a year and is not good enough to be a #2, so how do we become a contender with your #2 not good enough and on that sa...

[quote]Trae has the highest ceiling, but also is high risk. Garland has a decent ceiling, but is also a risk with injury. Murray probably has the lowest ceiling, but also has the highest floor, IMO.[/quote]I like this, I'll probably steal it....

[quote]You could say the same with all of these guys, but Trae has the biggest volatility and the most likely chance to have his value completely tank. [/quote]Highest risk, but also highest reward. If you think about what is the most realistic upside/best case scenario with Trae/Garland/Murra...

[quote]I know he didn't get swept and embarrassed last year as the 8 seed averaging 29 and 10 in the 6 games it took Boston to put them away. [/quote]Garland didn't get swept, but otherwise, good point. Garland is better and can do all these things Trae can't, and yet he doesn't do them or co...

[quote]yeah only me[/quote]Only you what? I didn't say only you thought that. I'm aware of those player rankings, I post em probably more than anyone else on here. I basically said no logical argument can be made that BI is better than Trae. So, whoever from the Ringer that votes on that, we c...

[quote]Possibly. The BI hate is getting a little extreme.[/quote]For some folks, yes. But saying Trae is better than BI is the literal opposite of extreme lol. There's no realistic world where any argument can be made that BI is better than Trae. SFP will fail at that, 100% of the time....

[quote]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.[/quote]But that doesn't mak...

[quote]Yeah, but the endgame is a higher upside with other stars or other good players. [/quote]Nah Trae is the high risk/high reward play Garland/Murray are the safer bets. Less likely that it crashes and burns spectacularly, but not the upside of Trae....

[quote]Garland can't hear this discussion b/c he's in the 2nd round of the playoffs[/quote]He's in Cancun And also, Garland was a complete non factor in these playoffs, scoring 15 or less in 9 of 12 games. ...
