    Yah well, he isnt so Klutch in taking pictures. If you aren't going to smile, at least look like you are happy to be there. He looks like a f***ing idiot.

    There are so many insanely talented players shorter than Ingram.

    LeBron for example. Westbrook. Reigning MVP Harden... I know we hate him, but still.

    That's because that photo is Rich Paul on the left with BI's head shopped on.

    Not to mention that Zo's head is twice as big as LeBron's. He must be twice as smart.

    You are right. The NBA has a lot of talented players, but that is not my point. My point is I believe Ingram is going to be a game changer. I can see him being a quiet superstar in the mold of a Kawhi or Giannis. Doesn’t really say much, just goes out and gets the job done.

    Why do I think this? Because of the frame he has. He is 6’9” with a 7’3” wingspan. He has the ability to spot up shoot, put the ball on the floor, create his own shot, run and facilitate the pnr, etc. He literally does what 90-95% of the guards and wings in the league do, but he’s doing it and will be doing it with the frame that he has.

    Would he ever reach that potential, maybe, maybe not, but the fact that it’s even a possibility is huge and you just don’t trade that away unless you’re getting something similar in return.

    So when I see people say trade him for McCollum or Wall or like you said: trade him for Beal, it doesn’t make sense to me.

    Because there's a chance he's never more than Tayshaun Prince. There's a chance he never makes an All-Star team.

    And again, the trade also unloads Deng. It's a trade, at the very least, worth considering. It's definitely not so simple that people should shrug it off.

    Wasn't it you in a debate with abeer about BI's vs PG's early stats? I know you were only arguing his projected potential and not making any declarations. But it seems you've cooled on him lately. Or am I wrong? Maybe you feel the same about his projected potential but now with things MUCH different with a window to compete NOW with lebron, you feel it wiser to take the 'bird in the hand' route and cash in potential on a lesser, but sure thing?

    I'm still VERY high on Ingram. I just value having an All-Star on a locked in contract. I think BI can be very, very special, I'm not cooling on him. I just think getting an All-Star locked into a deal is sort of the dream scenario when you have young, unproven talent with a big name like we do. I'd be more than happy to wait right now. We have LeBron so... we're winning already.

    I feel you. I only do it if we could still get kawhi next summer in FA. If we dumped deng with BI for Beal, is this roster possible next year?

    Lonzo/MLE Rondo
    Beal/Hart
    Kawhi/Svi
    Lebron/Kuz
    Wagner/ZU
