    How about the "We'd be a lot better if we still had Randle or at least Brook, rather than the sum of KCP and Beasley Game?"

    Part of me is starting to wish Ingram's suspension was longer so we can get a better look as to whether or not he might be a piece to move. He is our best young player, but starting to look like the worst fit. Kuzma next Bron/Ball/Rondo/Lance is a better, more natural fit.

    I'm very split on what we should do with Ingram.

    part of me thinks that we still need someone like Ingram when half court offense stalls like it has been. We got very lucky with Stephenson hitting those 3s in the 4th...that's not always going to happen especially on the road.

    This team still NEEDS Ingram...I just don't know if we NEED him to start...

    My point is he is the guy who a team might ask for when it comes to getting AD or whoever. Ball, Lebron, Rondo...they all have much better chemistry with Kuz. I just don't know. I love Ingram, but I'm not sure he's so untouchable now. I just don't know how all these pieces fit. Kuz, Ball, Lebron, Hart, Ingram...that lineup works against the Warriors death lineup or the C Bags if they go small. But that lineup isn't sustainable over a season. Either Kuz or Ingram is going to have to go to the bench in crunch time, and neither deserves to.

    I think the real reason why we're so split on this now is really been the play of JAVALE and even STEPHENSON. Like one of those 2 might have to be on the floor in crunchtime...most likely Javale, who is literally playing at a top 25 player level right now.

    Gonna be interesting to see how Ingram integrates back into the squad. I feel that Kuz has earned the right to continue being the starter.

    In the first unit is rolling, then you put him on the second unit and let him dominate with dance Stephenson and Rondo

    Again what kind of message do you want to send to the squad? That you can lose your starting position .... it's not OK to assault James Harden?

    It’s not about who starts, but who finishes. If the team is thriving while you were out, don’t you suggest the best thing for the team to the coach and say I’ll take a backseat and earn my way back into that position?

    I don’t know maybe the sample size is too small and the coaches see things in practice, but so far his play has been a notch below Kuzma and Hart
