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.


Sunk Cost Fallacy

Definite: the phenomenon whereby a person is reluctant to abandon a strategy or course of action because they have invested heavily in it, even when it is clear that abandonment would be more beneficial.
"the sunk-cost fallacy creeps into a lot of major financial decisions"


In the 8 years BI has been in the NBA he has amassed:

1 All Star Appearance

That's it.

The negatives with BI:

- Paying him 55 Million secures the Pelicans being dog shite for a minimum 5 years.

- He in 5 years as a Pelican, flat out refuses to change his shot selection even after someone with more cache (CJ McCollum) has literally done that in a year. Even after folks including myself absolutely shitted on him for playing outside his role.

- He does not pair well with Zion, and anyone who thinks his ceiling is higher than Zion's needs their head examined.

- He is no leader and pretty much runs the front office. So I dont expect him to leave NOLA. I do however expect the same song and dance from a few of you when we fail to meet the mediocre expectations we set every year then ask why we didnt make it.

- He ran off SVG which for the Zion era, was Zion's best coach. Why? Because he didn't like Point Zion due to him being a ball dominant wing and certified ball hog.

- I need to find the stat but were like 4-17 or some shite when BI shoots the ball more than 12 times.


Dont confuse known facts for hate, nor be shocked some folks want him gone.

Anyways this is a WG thread. Ill have my BI Thread up after we dont do anything Thursday

This may be a topic for another thread, but why is this?

I'm not saying I disagree, but early in the season, there were some games where they looked unstoppable together. I'm just trying to understand.

You cite a couple of facts but state more in the way of assumptions or opinions.
