2593552, Jah needs to leave Philly, but what an awful fit that'd be.

Hoiberg: "Hey, I want to play an uptempo offense, reliant on quick possessions, ball movement, and three-point shooting."

GarPax: "Let's get you a slow big man who can't shoot and moves the ball poorly."

The one upside is that I'd hope that Jah's passing and/or hustle would improve under Hoi. Odds are Hoi wouldn't look to feed the post at all, he'd just tell Jah "put all your energy into rebounds and kick-outs." Wouldn't be a bad lesson for him to learn, although it'd be a huge pill for Jah's pride to try to swallow to be essentially relegated to role player.

Still, young talent that can carve out a role stays on the court, and the only way to improve your standing in the league is to stay on the court.

But I'm betting this wouldn't happen. Unless Hoi gets canned. Which would be another bad move, imo. But that's a different post.
