WAR: The estimated number of team wins attributable to each player, based on RPM
My take is that, as a bigger and more physical defender, Markieff helps us take on the real obstacles in the East - LeBron, Milsap and co. And that's a big deal. That's why you give up real assets and acknowledge him as a legit starter.
(Apart from his being a stretch-4 who can create his own shot and produce with high usage).
