LINK
Link is to a podcast posted on Reddit. It’s being reported that BI was so upset about not playing late that he was pouting on the sideline and stormed out the building. Apparently Willie knew this would piss him off but didn’t care. Maybe he’ll get traded after all. I think this team needed some conflict to get to the next level, and it’s pretty much 100% confirmed that BI, Zion and CJ won’t work together now.

I didn't see anything from BI on the bench so this sounds like speculation, but if true...

Yeah if we pay BI 45 a year, we are screwed. We have a perfect replacement with Murphy

First time i think im ever rooting for a trade request.

Not a BI hater my any means but im tired of this team as currently constructed.

Sorry thing is, Bi is our best playoff performer and has made it to the end of the season before. CJ's biggest issue has been his playoff performances, like last night. You can't count on him when it's all on the line. I don't blame B.I. for being upset; I'd actually be disappointed if he wasn't. It's not like we can build around Zion anyway. At this point, you have to expect him to be out by the end of the season.

Willy's got to go. At this point, everyone who is not on their rookie contract has got to go. Trade B.I., CJ, and hate to say JV. I guess you have to stick it out with Zion and play the odds. We aren't getting any better players in the short term. If he's injured, you would then get a really high draft pick without the old talent that doesn't fit.

It's regrettable tell for basketball fans everywhere that we couldn't see this team healthy and with good coaching. The chances of that happening have dwindled to almost nothing. Just like with BD Mashburn McG, Cresent City Connection, Tingly booty Brows teams, and now.

For being a “players coach” Willie sure knows how to alienate guys. First Hawk, then JV and now BI. Willie just sucks in general. You have these conversations with your players before it happens. I’ve got a feeling Willie doesn’t like conflict (calling refs out) so I just avoids the tough conversations and his players are blindsided by his decisions.

He proved his postseason prowess in that Suns series. Absolutely legitimate that he was pissed he didn’t get run in the 4th, ESPECIALLY with Zion out. Hopefully he has something to prove Friday night.
