    That's a good problem to have in the playoffs, though. When the game slows down and the Lakers have three legitimate first option playmakers, it's actually ideal. I can see Brandon Ingram playing more of a KD role for the Warriors. My problem with Ingram is he wasn't ready to be a 2nd option player on a championship contender. But as a third option? He'd fit that perfectly if he was willing to adjust his game a bit. Anthony Davis doesn't really need the ball to be effective so it's not like Ingram would be taking the ball away from someone really important minus LeBron.

    I just feel like having a cooker off the bench would be so beneficial. Lou Will knows how to do that job with the best of 'em.

    In this hypothetical, are we taking that player off their current team without giving them anything in return? If so, then yeah Lou Will is the easy answer.

    Otherwise, I would pick DLo. I think he can fit a similar role as an elite scoring sixth man, but would also fit in well in the starting lineup with his ability to catch and shoot. Plus he’s still very young.

    Ingram is my favorite, but I just don’t think he fits very well alongside Lebron.

    I think you underestimate BI’s versatility.

    I really like BI but right now I would take Lou. Just what we need and would really hurt the clips at the same time. Two for one.

    Yeah. Ingram has been a better player than Lou this season overall. Lou can get hot, but Ingram has developed into a player that can get you a bucket on an iso and has improved his jumper. If we would have somehow gotten N.O. to take Kuzma instead of Ingram, we'd probably have like 5 losses.

    And a significant fewer number of annoying social media posts.

    Ingram, without hesitation. He’s already been an all-star, and he’s only getting smoother, craftier, and little by little, stronger.

    Of course BI now,


    But would BI have developed or shine playing aside by LeBron? It was pretty clear Ingram needed the keys to the car , something he wouldn't have gotten with us.



    I feel the same way with Zo, because BI and Zo weren't out the door NBA ready like AI, KG, Rose, Lebron, Shaq,Magic, etc ,etc.

    I keep seeing Lou a lot. Did anyone ever clarify the question though as what is the time frame? Just this season .... the guy is getting up there. Taking BI anyway as he can play some defense too and can create and continues our size advantage.
