We should have traded for him instead.
tobias is better fit.
This team needs to pair Butler and Biid. Then when both Butler and Biid sits, we need someone who can create on offense.
When all our starters are on the court, sure porter is better. But its not our starting unit that is the problem. Its the Embiid off court and Ben on court unit. We need a PnR playmaker like Tobias who can also be elite spot up shooter on our 5 man unit, then bolster up our defense like Thybulle, zhaire, Ben plus a dedmon to surround Ben with in that 5 man non Embiid unit.
I know hindsight is 20/20 but I think trading for Porter would have enabled us to keep Chandler and Shamet plus the Miami Pick.
I think Fultz/Muscala and our pick would have been enough or maybe swap the Miami pick with ours.
We could have gone after kanter and I honestly think we would have been better off.
Who then would be your PnR scorer+elite spot up shooter when Butler and Biid sits to spread our starters with our 5 man units?
I dont look at it as Porter > Tobias. I look at it as Tobias+Ben is better than Porter+Ben.
Sure i dont have to pay much for Porter. I dont think that the assets I saved for not overpaying is good enough to get me a difference maker.
