Summer League Game 1: 7pm CST on ESPN

[F Gump]

AD is a 5. 

But I am a realist. AD is a 4 because he wants to be a 4 and forcing him to be a 5 will either make him demand a trade or eventual apathy. 

So in this framework, AD is a 4. 

I would rather AD be a 5. Me stating AD is a 4 is solely because realistically he will play as a 4 so long as he wants to be a 4. Ignoring the AD motivation side of this is silly. This isn't NBA 2k where we can force players to do what we want all the time.

After Nico is fired (because that is PRIORITY 1) we can figure out whether to trade AD because he doesn't fit with the rest of the roster. In the meantime, it may be a mess. And isn't he too brittle to build the roster around, not being able to know if he will be able to play when you need him?
