I don’t know if my heart could handle viewing LaMelo Ball inexplicably carry a 38% usage rate shooting like 15% while TSJ, Ayo, and Keaton are forced to stand in the corner and watch.

LaMelo actually makes his teammates better.

I’d argue having Ant off the team would help your point, not Ball (not necessarily that it’d make them a better team).

Not all players who get high assist numbers are created equal.

I want Keaton to have the ball in his hands, not some dude shooting barely 40% who think he deserves as much usage as Luka doncic.

Lamelo ball having a higher usage rate than ANT, Cade Cunningham, and Jalen Brunson is a form of insanity. And one in which Charlotte couldn’t wait to get rid of.

I’m perfectly content with Keaton getting the keys to the show in LA.

Garland is set to have the keys to the show in LA. Unless they trade him, that's not changing anytime soon.

I'd add that LaMelos issue is that he consistently goes for style over substance. He gets lots of assists but makes dangerous passes, bad shots and does immature things like the Bam play.

Wagler is definitely the opposite.
