I don't think Byron is better than Raymond, I'm just thinking for the perspective of a rebuilding team.

Byron is 24 years old and scored at a .44 points per game pace. While Raymond certainly provides more offence (and probably will until he starts to decline), I just thought Byron fit the team better. I suppose Raymond is quite a bit bigger (but not physical).

Both are fast and strong PKers. Byron wouldn't have cost $3M. But I guess you have to reach the floor.

Nothing to be upset about, just something to consider.
