Yeah, because the team is playing pretty well and people are trained to complain. There are always more new threads after a loss than a win.

What’s worse is most of the negativity people talk about are based on worst case scenario projections of future events. I’m not saying the fears are totally unfounded, but they are exaggerated.

For instance, people act like BI will become an untradeable player on his next deal and that just isn’t true, assuming he stays healthy.

As for Willie, some people sure are convinced he’ll be replaced with an upgrade, which is something you should not be convinced of given this team’s history. Are there coaches out there better than Willie? Yes. Will the Pels hire those coaches. History says no. At best they’ll pick another flavor of average and start the cycle all over again.

No one is saying he's untradable. People are saying that if you dont sell high now, you are costing yourself in the future.

You simply cannot pay BI 55 million a year and think this is the best way forward. To put it into even more perspective, IF he was worth that, why people havent been falling over themselves to try and obtain him. (HINT: The NBA doesnt think he's a #1 option either)


Also on the topic of WG, he may be Top 3 in worse coach in the league. He has done absolutely nothing in terms of growth and from whats been said, he doesn't even control a majority of the inner workings of this team. However, the most egregious thing he has done is allowed BI and bros to run unapposed while treating Zion/Trey/Hawk the complete opposite.

No one is untradeable, but he will definitely be a negative asset if he gets another max contract.

The moment he signs the next max, he is a negative value contract.

We see it happen over and over and over on players of BI's ilk in this league. Beal being I believe the most recent example.

Not untraceable, but 100% a negative value contract.


We should not give out a negative value contract as our biggest contract. Name all the teams that had wild success doing something like that.
