I feel like one of the benefits of trading BI is you can almost trade him for anything. It's not one of those situations where you have to trade him for another wing that's 6'8 or 6'9. If you want to trade him for a PG, you can do that, if you want to move him for a SG, you can do that. Want to move him for a C? You can do that too. The team has enough pieces that they can replace BI adequately without getting a guy that would step in and replace him in the trade.

I agree with this.

Last year, there was an argument to keeping BI b/c we didn't know what Zion would be doing a year later. Zion has shown over and over this year he's 100% bought into the franchise. The value of BI LAST year is that BI would be a Pel for life without issue or question.

We don't need that sort of security anymore with Zion's 2023-2024 season.

And yes, our roster is constructed where we can slot in a new guy anywhere.
