Ingram is a good player but he's a lesser talent.I don't know if he's advocating it, but I don't see Ingram as a lesser talent. Better shooter and defender.

This has been my opinion. I think Ingram is a better talent but at worst they are on a similar level. Why not get the guy whose skill set fits what you need as opposed to the guy whose skill set doesn't if you're basically getting one of the 2 elite level talents of the draft at the same time?I don't know if he's advocating it, but I don't see Ingram as a lesser talent.

No, my point is that he is a terrible shooter, which is the topic geng and I were discussing. Geng thought I was overexaggerating his struggles, I disagree. Does that clarify the situation for you?What is the point here? That the Sixers should have drafted a lesser talent?
How did he get the short end of the stick?It will be interesting to see in a couple of years if Simmons is that much better than Ingram.
For now he got the short end of the stick ending up in Philly...
Mighty big if lately...Philly has a bright future if the GM doesn't fuck it up.
It's a different GM so none of that is relevant. That phase is over.Mighty big if lately...
Are we not talking about a franchise that made an art form of tanking? So much so the NBA decided to take over?
It was pretty much damn near unanimous that Simmons was considered a better prospect.I don't know if he's advocating it, but I don't see Ingram as a lesser talent. Better shooter and defender.
I agree.Ingram is a good player but he's a lesser talent.

Yeah, I don't get the Magic, that move was dumb for them.The oladipo trade was a coup.
I'd like to see kd stay in okc because it probably means the warriors match any offer for Barnes, which means the Sixers don't stupidly max him.
I don't think so. They traded a perimeter wing defender for an interior defender. This allows them to match Ibaka with Vucevic who offers nothing defensively and still have some sort of rim protector. They have plenty of wing defenders and they need to bring in a wing scorer with their plethora of funds.Yeah, I don't get the Magic, that move was dumb for them.
They got older and lost their best perimeter player who was finally coming into his own. I agree that the Magic needed toughness and defense inside but they are a young team that just got older and less talented. Lets not forget they gave up their first round pick too.I don't think so.

Why do you keep saying the Magic got older as if Ibaka is in his 30's. He's only 26. He hasn't entered his prime yet.They got older and lost their best perimeter player who was finally coming into his own.

1big gave you my answer for Ibaka, but I would also add that Oladipo was never coming into his own. He's a nice player who can compliment goo players but he'll never be one that will carry you. On a bad team like Orlando, that's doesn't get you very far. Similar comments could be said about Ibaka, but at least he fills a void for their biggest weakness. As for the 1st round pick, anything outside the top 3-5 is typically worthless. They picked 11th. The chances of them getting a starter and impact player like Ibaka has been is minimal.They got older and lost their best perimeter player who was finally coming into his own.

I get that your chances of finding impact players outside the top 5 are greatly diminished, but you can't use that as an excuse to get Ibaka and say the 11th pick is worthless when Ibaka himself was drafted 24th.1big gave you my answer for Ibaka, but I would also add that Oladipo was never coming into his own.
