I usually like the teams you build.
I'm pro-ish Ingram. Definitely over Mikal Bridges / Butler.
Anderson with this lineup would fit really well as a big guard in the Batum role.
I'd rather not pay this version of Klay the money he'd be commanding. He can't move laterally anymore. Trent is the better option.
All in all it's alright. I don't think we'd be very athletic, and besides Trent and Anderson to a degree we wouldn't be very good at the POA defensively. Embiid as well, I guess if he can regain a bit of his mobility.
