I don't think you've watched enough OG...

Player A is scoring 13.6 a game on 11.8 FGA with .37/.36/.79 splits

Player B is scoring 18.5 a game on 14.8 shots with .47/.35/.84 splits

Which one is Hardaway?

That's about results. I'm talking about the hows of attempts. 

I'm in no way trying to argue that Hardaway is a better player than Annunoby. That couldn't be farther from my point. One is an off-ball guard and the other is a forward. 

If your point is that OG can hit catch-and-shoot attempts better than I think he can, that's awesome. I've never said I didn't like or want the player. 

I just don't think Luka/Green/OG/DFS/Wood is a contending team. I think Luka/Green/DFS/Siakim/Wood IS a contending team. It's that simple for me. Since I view both players as costing a king's ransom in trade (which I admit, @"F Gump" has me second guessing a bit) I don't think it's even a debate.

I don't disagree with this with the Siakam assessment!  Just saying he's the one more likely to displace DFS to the 3 is all.

Right, I get you. 

I guess for me, it just seems like adding a 4 who can create offense frees you up to add your point of attack defender into the lineup. 

I don't think you can go defense first at every position except Luka/Wood, especially with Kidd coaching. 

You think OG is mislabeled as "defense first" and I get that. Maybe you're right, but I'm not paying three firsts and Hardy to find out. If he doesn't cost that much, wake me up when we have clarity on that and my opinion might change.
