I'm just saying, it's hard to say you know what you are getting night in and night out, when he has fluctuation in his splits like that, especially with the weak performance from last year. That's not consistency. Of course if he was giving 16 and 7, he'd be great, but can you count on that? Methinks not.

Arenas, Iggy, and Dalembert. Sort of a 76ers flavor, but Arenas is a huge upgrade over Andre Miller (tho Miller is a fine player). 76ers with Iggy and Dalembert and Miller were 40-42, a much better record than you'd expect.

He was the catalyst of that whole offense. The stats are meaningless, they came in a different situation, which is what I was trying to say. You can't justify everything with stats, especially when you are fusing players into a new situation. You can't just say "Arenas would come in and be an upgrade because he averages more points". Miller is much better at running an offense, and not turning the ball over. Once Stefanski came to the Sixers and met with Cheeks to change the offensive tempo, Miller's stats went way up, and Iguodola's turnovers were reduced, as Miller was given reign to run the offense and be the primary guy who got the Sixers into their offense.. I'm not so sure that Arenas fits into that role, as Miller was great at setting teammates up, while Arenas is a shoot first player.
