Not that I don't agree that Beal is the better player, but Ibaka has been that good for us this year.

Ibaka has been fantastic, but mostly as a finisher (he's way up on assisted 2 point FGs this year, 81% of his 2 pointers are assisted, compared to 64% and 70% the last two years with the Raps). That's very valuable, so I wouldn't be moving him unless it's for a star. But that's also true of a bunch of other pieces - the Raps are very well constructed, so there's not really a fit issue to address, so only significant talent upgrades make sense.

Beal on the other hand is big enough to get his shot off, can get to the rim far better, and can torch a team simply coming off of screens and pin downs. Also, he can be really good defensively when he focuses.

Ibaka has been reminding me of heyday David West on those CP3 Hornets teams. Midrange assassin, pure pick and pop option. Lowry being positively Paul-esque with his passing this year makes the comparison even stronger.
