Yeah I think people are being prisoners of the moment a bit here. BI just returned from injury and he's still rusty. I think the low average games and the one year left on the contract are relevant.
However, this is the first year Murray has ever scored more points per game than Ingram but he was less efficient than BI. Murray has been a bad defender for several years now. Ingram was both significantly better on defense this year and has much more of an ability to switch in the playoffs. In Murray's defense, he shot well and often from 3.
Ingram was much more of a winning player as well generally with a higher net rating.
If the 3 ball holds theres interesting potential to pair Z with Murray, especially if he can get his defensive intensity back up but I think BI is a better player even with the differences in contract.
