My bad, I’m only saying that the fact Ingram’s rebounding being better IS a minor thing, he’s 6’8 and CJ is 6’3...You mentioned Myles Turner. He objectively gets more rebounds than CJ. But it really is a minor thing. Maybe it’s just me, but I personally think 7’0 guy averaging less than twice as many rebounds as a 6’3 guy is ABYSMAL.
Ingram gets to the line 3 more times a year, NICE. It’s weird cause I would’ve assumed that leads to Ingram being a better scorer, but he averaged less than 1 point more than CJ last year and less than 3 points more than him this year. Ingram’s ast/to ration is 1.89 this year, close to 2 last year while CJ is 2.37 this year and 3.35 last year, so I’m not giving you that one. If he was a solid defender, I could kind of get on board with it but the fact that he isn’t turns me off on the idea of Ingram at SF.
Your line of thought seems to be more along someone’s who is trying to still compete, that’s probably the disconnect. As you’ve stated, it would be a lateral move. 100% agree. That’s why I don’t look at Ingram at all. Turner is a whole other player you’d have to attach stuff with to acquire. Now that’s a lot of assets for not-a-sure-thing. Pass. Taking a gamble on Bamba or Smith in FA is a much better reward for risk than spending 2 1sts for a guy who has stated in the past he wants a bigger role. Between Dame, Ant, Turner, and potentially Simmons, who do you expect to get the least role on offense?
