Which duo would you rather build around?

No contest Melo / Mobley.

Melo > Ja / Mobley > Barnes.

I’m really curious to hear the argument for Ja/Barnes.
Unless you think Ja is far and away the best player of the deal (I don’t think he is)

I have concerns about the longevity of Morant even though I hope I am wrong. Though, if longevity is the same for all and we get to see their peaks, I think I would go Ja and Barnes.

Why do you think Melo is so clear of Ja? I think a lot of people would have it the other way.

I think he’s better to build around. Melo is 6’7, a better playmaker and a better shooter… with his length he’s a better defender too.

I can only imagine the narrative LaMelo would face if we went 19-2 or whatever without him.
