Where does the Mitchell-Garland-Allen-Mobley core peak?

Not trying to call you out or anything -- RCF just happened to open for me here and I happened to read your post. The "overpaid John Starks 2.0" line is a tremendous hot take. Well done even if it is 18 months late.
There is no difference between five All-Star nods, with that being an All-Star appearance every year since his second year, as well as an All-NBA 2nd Team (should have been 1st Team) accolade in an extremely competitive position league-wide, and one ASG in a 13-year career!

This year's playoffs should tell a lot.

I think the pathway is now clear - and we've been searching that best style fit between the 4 since they got together.

Mitchell should be a primary initiator, Allen should be utilized at the elbows as more than a 4th/5th option. Mobley has to be more of a spacer and Garland needs to be more of an off ball scorer.

If this all clicks, with the appropriate staggering we truly have a monster on our hands that should compete with anyone.

Question for me still is are we better off with a reduced role for any of them (but specifically I'm thinking Garland here) or using them to trade for a more ideal fit that can play to their true strength and elevate the collective power of the lineup to elite levels.

I think Mobley gives so much on defense and in overall potential that you are fine with him not being the ideal fit in some aspects of the game. With Garland, I don't know. He's at his best with the ball in his hands but that is no longer what is best for us. He's fine on defense, but as it stands that's a spot we could upgrade to a higher echelon level with a wing sized above average defender who can provide the secondary creation and off ball play we want from DG.

I want to see the playoffs. How the rotations will go, what lineups end up being the best and finishers, who is being played off the floor or being targeted.

That will give the answers, but we are in a really good spot value wise in either case.

True, but it's the John Starks callback that makes it epic. Way more respect than just a mundane "Collin Sexton 2.0".
