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.


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.

I don’t think you realize how intense y’all are coming across with the BI hate.

The same people that thought Scoot was the right pivot to make to save that future. I’m not doing an “I’m right, you’re wrong” here, I’m on the trade BI train too, I’m just saying our powers of prognostication aren’t as good as we tend to think, so maybe the consequences of not trading BI aren’t as dire as you believe.

The reason I’m ok trading BI is because he needs to be the #2, not the #1. But if Zion grows up and takes the #1 spot from him, or a coaching change to someone that isn’t as Ingram biased as Willie happens, I do wonder if things would magically get better, just like CJ last year when he was forced into a role he shouldn’t have had, vs CJ this year where he is playing his projected role perfectly.

Willie has had the Pels passed up by multiple worse teams since he got here.

OKC and Sacto already passed the Pels significantly.

Utah is improving despite a fire sale of their stars and is ok the fringe AND the Rockets are significantly better and improving from last year already.

Dude is a bad players coach that can’t seem to get out of his own way and refuses to adjust to the talent on his team and instead insists on asking them to be something they are not.

He is holding this team back, but because they go on little runs here and there to prop up their record into play-in territory, you call him a success.
