Hyperboyle... no?

We're not saying do nothing to improve.  We're saying if you do something, do something smart.  Something that doesn't curse the team.  Going after Siakam because he's available.. isn't really smart when he doesn't do anything defensive (anymore).  Tobias Harris just ate his lunch in his face... 

Why bring up a Charlotte statistic outlier and then claim it proves you don’t need top talent to win?  There’s no hyperbole.  That’s exactly what you did.

Then when I challenge you on that, you completely back down from the premise and make it about Siakam being fools gold.  You’re making a conversation a circus.  

I actually don’t mind a different opinion on Siakam. In my opinion, we’re taking Hunter and Patty Mills and turning them to Siakam.  It’s more about shifting JJ and Bey to SF and getting longer while getting rid of two salaries.  There’s nuance to why Siakam makes sense for our situation.  They had platooned Bey, JJ, and Hunter at the 3 and 4.  Siakam is a huge upgrade in that mix.
