Trade him someone who can defend, you can get away with one of your stars not being being a good defender but not both, look at jokic last night, jokic not a good defender but everyone around him is, this team was much better without bi playing. Trade him for someone who can defend,

I didn't realize Murray was a good defender

yes we do, but his value is too low right now... we actually need to give a shite and play to get at least some value for him...

Just trade for someone how can defend, we don't need alot for him, addition by subtraction, he's our Russell Westbrook

I have been against the thought of trading BI for a long time now. But, it's another year and it's another set of either hurt or playing disinterested....he showed flashes of being the leader and it being "BI's Team"...but it's been so long I don't remember what that looks like. I like the guy....but man...it's tough to watch.

1 Hawkins
2 Dyson
3 herb
4 Zion
5 jv

At least until cj comes back, can't get rid of jv until we find a center who can defend, maybe trade bi for one

I feel like a lot of you are unfamiliar with how trades in the NBA work. While trades are not illegal right now, they just don't happen now. December 15th is generally considered the unofficial opening of trade season because its when all of the Free Agents that signed new deals this summer become trade eligible, so a lot more players can be traded.

Even though December 15th is an important date, trades still are rare then and tend to happen much closer to the traded deadline, which is Feb 9 this season. So even if the Pels wanted to trade BI, they probably wouldn't until February.

we have enough defensive specialists.

And if we’re being honest, he’s not getting traded until summer. Unless our record is putrid before the deadline

not really. The team defense for the nuggets is average at best. They have an elite offense which helps their defense.

BI isn't our go to guy finishing games now, so I don't think that will be an issue.

Go back in the archives and watch the 4th quarter in the Wolves game on Dec 28th.

That game right there will show you all you need to know about who's the closer

We have enough shooters now we may not even need a finisher, just a defense collapser that can pass.

It truly hurts for me to be muted and to not receive credit for calling out BI years back. Villains are always misunderstood

Being the canary in the coal mine is a thankless job, but an important job. It helps the board claim we knew all along when we flip flop.

I’d keep an eye on Detroit to be honest..I’d like have to have Jayden Ivey and one of their bigs for BI..obviously more to it than that but it would be something I’d monitor seeing as it could fill needs for both teams.

I know they just drafted Ivey but he’s losing minutes - adding a vet like BI to their team may be something they’d entertain.

Gotta wonder why he's losing minutes on a team who's 2-6...

Cunningham being their primary facilitator, sure. But Ivey was always going to be their '2 guard' right?

Ausar Thompson has growing pains and is a negative shooter. He's their 3

Killian Hayes is their other starting guard and he's been worse than Ivey

Alec Burks is a solid veteran, but he's old (32).

Sasser has been money this year shooting & defensively.

It just seems unusual.

Monty Williams is their head coach now. Ivey's defense isn't good. So Williams is going to limit his minutes until he improves on that side of the ball.

was reported around the draft that Charlotte was interested in Brandon.

What about BI, Val & Kira for Hayward, PJ Washington & Mark Williams + a 1st.

Hayward and Washington are shooters. Williams is a rim protector. The money works. Hayward's contract is expiring so we pick up $30+ million in cap relief if we don't resign him. Not perfect but decent value...
