No, that's not my idea at all. As a matter of fact, I made this point precisely because some other people are trying to consider "fit" around those guys
right now, which I consider a bad idea
. My point is that despite the claim that "we're just in asset accumulation and not worried about fit", it seems like that's exactly what some people are considering right now in terms of building a team around those two guys:

Now, I know that Harkless is only under contract for one more season, so they may just be a considering him a temporary bandaid rather than a potential building block. If true, that's fine. But I also suspect there would be a "re-sign Harkless because he's the kind of guy you need with Garland and Sexton" argument emerge by mid-seasons. After all, if he's a good fit for this season, why not moving forward?
So, to sum up...I'm okay with hanging on to Sexton and Garland for awhile. What I'm not okay with is trying to build a roster around them to compensate for their weaknesses when I consider the prospects of their long-term viability as a backcourt duo to be so low.
Obviously, for those who have a much different opinion of their prospects as a long-term pairing, my point is worthless.
