Ingram defends 3s better than Lauri defends 4s.

I think yall just don't fuck with Ingram and thats cool but don't throw Lauri in my face like he's him. He in fact is not him.

Not even hating on BI....this is just looking at it as objectively as possible

Money aside, they're the same age and they're both injury prone

If you given the option between Ingram and Markkanen I believe an overwhelming majority of GMs would take Lauri


Hes simply an easier player to fit on your roster


Lauri doesnt have to have the ball in his hands to be effective

If Ingram doesnt have the ball in his hands what is he doing?

Ingram is like a small forward version of Sabonis as far how they're just hard to fit around and they don't do the things that you need that position to be good at

you would rather Ingram on the raps than Lauri?

Yes. He is the better fit based on the lineup and financially. Im fine with Lauri being who he is as a player just not on this iteration of the raptors and definitely not minus cmb and gradey. That makes no sense.

Like for all the raptors trashing you two do thats the fucking move?

Comparing Jalen Brunson to Jordan Poole and what he did against second units is crazy and you know this

Being ok and decent is not the same as being elite and exceptional

Not a comparison just pointing out that someone who was put in that scorer only box showed that he could do more when given the opportunity.

Take finances out and the players you getting rid of

If Barnes wasn't on the roster sure id rather have the 7ft forward that can extend the floor. Thats just not the reality.

Why do you think Ingram is a better fit next to Barnes when they play the same position and operate in the exact same space?


And you have to stop taking analysis as thrashing or hating....I have no reason to hate or dislike the Raptors lol

Barnes isn't a 3 hes a 4. Ingram isn't a 4 he's a 3.
