nobody has ever said hes bad
he puts up volume numbers on a bad team, and makes more money than hes worth. doesnt matter for chicago because they arent contending any time soon, but hes definitely overpaid.
so if you took every starting non-big absolutely ranked them by any value based stat (VORP, +/-, MVP shares, idk lol) and divided that by salary, that Lavine would still be in the top half of the list? because I highly doubt that (and ill run the numbers tonight when im not in an airport)

You can't just base off current performance like they aren't going to develop. Ingram and Jaylen have...

In the same qualifiers, Jaylen is 7th in the league...
the markksman is definitely legit
you can still hold the notepad emoji on Lavine for me. A lot of guys in league history have been able to provide scoring volume but aren't potential Top-3 talents on a title contending team (Kevin Martin, Monta Ellis, etc)
Lauri is part of the upcoming...
Those Spurs and Warriors teams were far and away better than any team Jordan faced in the Finals.
The only one I actually put on Lebron is losing to Dallas
