This isn't complicated.

There's already the precedent with PJ Washington as well as Cam Johnson, two very similar players to Trey.


Cam got 4/$95, making $25M in year 1 which was almost 19% of the cap.
Cam is a career 39% 3 point shooter through 5 years, and is a better shooter and defender than PJ.
PJ got 3/$46M, making $16M in year 1 which was 12% of the cap.
PJ's shooting has been going down since his first 3 years where he was at 38% from 3. He was 35% last year, and 32% this year.

Trey is a lot closer to Cam than he is PJ.

19% of the cap is $26M/yr for the first year.
4/$105 is about the most Trey should be getting.

I'm not out on doing what they need to keep Trey. But if they keep BI, it will stunt his growth. Just like Philly had to get rid of Harden to let Maxey excel. Trey will only get better by playing. I remember people giving Denver shite for maxing Michael Porter Jr. He's now an integral part of their team and success.

I think the same can be done for Trey. Fortunately for us, is will come at the cost of getting rid of BI. Unfortunately for us, I don't think the FO does it.
