LAC: Ja sells more tickets with an upgrade in rim attack and defense over Garland ... not scared to play with another alpha in Kawhi, gives this team clear #1/#2 offensive option ... also picks up their SRP swap back. TLue the right kind of (player) coach for Ja.

MEM: Garland (Tennessee hometown hs/college hero) better longterm pure pg prospect for the developing squad to get Edey/Coward their looks while still getting his buckets in bunches when needed ... too much pressure in LAC to be the #2 guy with his spotty shot selection and noteable lack of physical force ... better suited for small market team with a giant in Edey behind him
