re: How badly has this playoff series damaged BI’s trade value?

That would be incredibly dumb risk losing him for nothing and would be the absolute worst possible scenario. I wouldn't even consider it. You move on from him in the summer when teams are much more likely to move their key pieces and start the season fresh.

We do not need to corner ourselves like we did with Ball when he started out hot, injured himself, came back playing inconsistent, we couldn't find a dead at the deadline, and eventually lost him for scraps.

Losing BI for nothing is not an option.
