Not opposed to OG the player, just the idea of trading multiple picks for him THEN paying him $40+ mil/year. That's all-star player package stuff, and OG isn't that and probably never will be.
Yes, but Tobi was the final piece back then. We had Jimmy and Ben who has size and plays big.
While Tobi compliments Ben’s lack of scoring and alot of Ben and Embiid’s game. Tobi has always been part of our best 5 man units, he compliments the team very well. Hell, even him being sort of an ironman (in today’s basketball definition) compliments Biid’s lack of durability and so-so leadership.
That said, if OG looks like THE final piece, then Im all for paying him $45M a year.
I see where you're coming from, it just makes me nervous to go all-in on a player like OG. He hasn't developed an offensive game that can be relied upon. That's the big thing that separates him from someone like Mikal Bridges, for example. I'd also rather take a flier on Jerami Grant for the same reason. Not to mention OG averages ~60 GP per season, which isn't terrible, but just another factor that gives me pause when evaluating the entire picture of acquiring him.
