If the Pels want to pay Jabari as much as Boogey would make, then I'd let them do that.

So acquiring a guy at a key position that shoots 40% from three won't help us address our biggest issue... especially when he is replacing a non-shooter. Also, Tobias can score off the dribble and would be replacing a non-ballhandler... I mean yeah... why would we even want him we needs rebounds.

Basic outline of the trade. Filler may have to happen.
2 for 1, great forward and halftime entertainment in 1.

Favors is already good enough at that key position. Favors isn’t the one holding this team back nor does Harris propel this team over the hump.
What’s holding this team back is that aside from Mitchell and Burks, no one on this team can create their own shot. What’s holding this team back is that its starting SF probably should be a backup, an ideal 6th man. What’s holding this team back is that its backup PGs are borderline NBA players.
Adding Harris does zero to address what’s truly holding this team back.

That’s not at all what I meant.
Getting a player like terry Rozier, Tatum, Oladipo, Booker, would improve this team more than acquiring a top big. Harris isn’t even a top big.
Favors isn’t holding this team back. Having a backup SF start and no one other than Mitchell and Burks able to create their own shot, does.

Well it is what you said ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Favors isn’t a bad player but there is an argument to be made that he is holding the team back. Two giant dudes who can’t shoot or guard perimeter players in the NBA in 2018 is simply going to limit your team. It’s nothing against Favors but he’s a Center in the modern NBA.
Ingles was productive as hell, were you really disappointed in him as a starter this year?
I agree that another ball handler would be nice, but it doesn’t make things easy for those perimeter guys to get to the hoop when the paint is constantly clogged up.

Lineup was insanely good last year. Much better than any lineup featuring Gobert and Favors. And Crowder isn’t even a good shooter. But he was enough of a threat to draw dudes out of the paint. Does anyone think that Crowder is better than Favors? Of course not. But fit matters
It's about time for Isaac Bonga to show up and start turning some heads in workouts. Wonder where he's at these days.

Not at all disappointed in Ingles. He’s exceeded all expectations.
Is he a starting 3 on a championship team?
Favors was our 5th best/most important player in the OKC series. I think we still could have beat them without him.

I see no reason why not. You don’t need 5 all stars in your starting five to win a championship. Ingles is a deadeye shooter who gets his production on very few shots, plays solid defense, and is a very good play maker who can take the ball up the floor. Sounds like a very good player to have on a championship team, and there have certainly been worse starters than him who have won chips.
Could he be out third best player? Probably not. Could he start? Sure.

Eh...I don't know about that...he was +57 in the series. Crowder, who would have seen a ton more minutes without Faves, was -37.
Is Favors a starting 4 on a championship team?
Then the Pelicans wouldnt keep Mirotic....
