Not suggesting this, but even now I could make a compelling argument that swapping Grant and PJW would improve synergy on this roster. Grant plays both ends (so does PJ), can shoot (so does PJ, but Grant is better) and can CREATE (PJ cannot).
Now, with Flagg though, this has almost no appeal. I'm not ready to call Flagg the point forward, but I am way not interested in putting a roadblock between him and the opportunity to grow into that role.
Cronin should've made the deal last year when Harrison wanted him.
You know I have been arguing against people lusting for JG for quite some time as a very bad value play. He stopped playing real D once he got paid by DET and never started again. He WOULD BE excellent value if he was still a plus defender, but that ended in Denver.
If Nico stupidly wanted him at some point, thats on Nico.
Your "compelling argument" for JG vs PJW ignores the limits in spending facing every team. The massive diff in salaries is (or should be) altering values of each player in huge way. I think PJW is actually a better player anyhow (good D vs no D) but the salaries makes it not close at all imo.
