    Fortunately we don't have to pick between the two. A better poll would have been between Dillon and Jabari or Dillon and Tari. Jabari is younger and has more potential than Tari. Tari has more long term health issues. Tari has a better motor, but also makes more mental mistakes and is foul prone. I'd take Jabari, but we can afford to keep them both.

    Tari is a personal favorite, but Bari's skills aren't duplicated by anyone else on the team. So Bari.

    I like em both, but I would keep Bari if we can only pick 1 and only because of Tari's injury history.

    Tari is much more productive. Even taking injuries into consideration, I'd roll with Eason.

    I was under the impression that Tari's bone should heal in about a year from the bone graft, and that it should pose no long term threat once it actually heals other than maybe the rod needing to be removed.

    Difficult decision - Trade both of them for some valuable 2nd round picks ;)

    They can keep both.

    Neither are franchise players or max caliber players.

    Mikal Bridges: 4/90
    De’Andre Hunter: 4/90
    Patrick Williams: 5/90
    PJ Washington: 3/46.5
    Jonathan Isaac: 4/59
    Dorian Finney-Smith: 4/55
    Herb Jones: 4/53
    Grant Williams: 4/53
    Brandon Clarke: 4/50
    Aaron Nesmith: 3/33

    Anything over $20M AAV for Tari and $25M AAV for Jabari, I’m out.

    Easy call.

    Bari's our starting 4, maybe for the next decade.
    Pay him.

    Tari, on the other hand...While I love how he's come along, I just can't reconcile the injury risk.
    Move him in the offseason deal.

    Dillon is a good contract. We'd get value back for moving him.

    disagree plowman

    that does not happen often

    do not see bari as best fit next to alpi

    really think we need a bigger longer stronger more mobile center that can guard the rim, switch, and shoot the 3 and gobble up the boards so alpi can guard more 4s while being the offensive hub

    i realize that is asking a lot of a center

    i would trade bari at this point

    just not for sure for who or what

    Dillon is a positive asset. We would be getting one frp or 2 seconds for him

    Tari looks like he’s gonna have a Gerald Wallace career. A great player when he’s on the court for the 30-55ish games he plays per season.

    Jabari is so much more valuable. I love Tari, but I'm not confident he will ever be truly healthy enough to rely upon consistently.
