If we could only get one max player and a good role player. Which one would you rather have? Let's say you could have Boogy and Avery Bradley or Paul George and Center.

Edit I believe under these circumstances you get to keep Randle and Clarkson

whomever can play a position other that the 3, cause BI is gonna be a monster!
Probably cousins, but if PG13 really does have a wink wink w Magic, I'll take what we can get because it will lead to other free agents IMO.

I'd choose Boogy and Avery because Ingram has arrived.

Without getting rid of Randle or trading Deng we do.

Cousins.

While George is a better 3 point shooter, Cousins spreads the floor enough with his 3 point shooting to make life easier for Ball and Ingram.

Cousins is ahead of George in rebounds and blocks and is almost the same on assists (3.1 for Cousins 3.2 for George). Both are the same age.

Cousins has better per 40 numbers and better shooting / pure shooting percentage other than 3 point percentage.

While George has a better win percentage IMO the Pacers surrounded George with better talent than Cousins. And I think George has had slightly better head coaches than Cousins.

And even with a seriously flawed roster in New Orleans Cousins and the Pelicans have a better record and are playing better than George and OKC.

DC is a better fit except he's a headcase and you don't want him to lead a young squad.

I've seen George play a prime LeBron James almost to a draw in a playoff series while Boogie has played in zero playoff games and has a ten minute video on youtube of fights and technicals.

I guess I'm in the George corner.

Same here. Imagine Pg13/Ingram locking down fools.

Boogie would be the guy to neutralize Embiid. I love PG but If I had to choose there's more of need for Boogie than it is for PG.

Imagine

Boogie
Kuzma
Ingram
Bradley
Ball

It will be interesting to see what Bradley gets. In some years, I could see him getting a max salary or near it, but the market this year could be very tight.

Definitely Both.

But if I had to choose one it would definitely Be BOOGIE.
Embiid torching us for 40 is a huge reason why.
If we’re so unfortunate that PG doesn’t sign here at least we got BI and Kuzma.

Demarcus is much more needed
