You know all that talk happening right now of Chris Paul being the best leader in the NBA? Yeah, that.
All hyperbole, upside, and potential aside - do you seriously think that the Pels have a better roster right today than the Thunder?
They don't. The Thunder are a better team - that should be obvious. Top to bottom, they are better. But in a vaccuum - if you take Shai off that team and add Ingram, do you think they're better or worse? The answer should be quite obvious. Another question - are the Pelicans better off adding Shai in place of BI? That is laughable to think about.
Shai is very good, but let's not act like he's the best piece of the Thunder. Or the 2nd best.
