He's played 130 games in 6 years. If we don't change coaches or offensive systems - he clearly doesn't "Fit" with Ben. He's extreamly streaky and hasn't progressed all that much.
I get he's obviously one of the most talented guys in the NBA - but unfortunately you actually need to be able to suit up and play to make a difference.
Can't win in this league without an elite talent. You deal with the flaws/risk over lowering the ceiling of your team.
The fit issues of Ben and Jo are exaggerated by the poor roster construction at the team. Change the supporting cast, not the core.
Definitely a fair argument. I'm just lobbing out my crazy ideas.
All I'm saying is if we had to start the Eastern playoffs today, I think we would honestly have a better shot with
CP3-JR-Gally-Simmons-Horford than Simmons-JR-Harris-Horford-Embiid or w/e we trot out there.
For what it's worth, CP3 I probably still wouldn't do. Ingram + Favors trade I probably would.
