There is no new ground to cover here.
Talent was ALWAYS apparent and ALWAYS known. New games of excelling don’t provide any info we didn’t know back in August.
The question is simply how much was going on behind the scenes, what was done for him and provided for him, was it enough, was it more than enough, and could/would he have ever gotten his shit together here. As well as what sort of positive and negative influences, both intended and unintended, he would/could have had moving forward on the court and off the court.
They didn’t decide to move him as a functional of a choice of a different player on the roster over him. They believed, whether correctly or incorrectly, that nothing more could be done here to make him get his act together while in Cleveland. Baked into that decision was the knowledge that there were long term scenarios in which he could/would succeed at his second or third stop.
No matter how much info we get from Ben or from nba writers, we’ll never truly know all the details of his time here and whether or not those details warranted the belief that moving on was the only solution. With him not being a member of the team, I dont get the obsession of blasting off hot takes every time he has a great statistical game or a bad statistical game. The assessment and potential mistake was based on the analysis and belief of things far beyond 82 games oer year on the basketball court. It doesn’t become any more of a mistake or any more of the right call based on his nightly on court performance.
