I just fundamentally disagree on BI's value with some of you.
BI getting benched and outplayed by Josh Hart last summer on the US team. BI continuing to shoot fewer and fewer 3s. BI gets hurt once again - this one wasn't a major blow since he came back. However...BI had the worst playoffs of probably any player considered a top 3 player on their team.
No, factor in his upcoming salary. His stock is maybe as low as it's ever been since the blood clot issue. He's just not a very attractive player at his salary IMO.
Herb on the other hand was one of the few guys who actually played half decent in the playoffs for us. Is the perfect teammate. Rarely misses games and is on a great contract.
That's the guy I'm keeping.
And I think Allen has clearly jumped ahead of BI in value at this point. Murray is probably equal.
I feel like this is an argument people would be having about Carmelo 5-6 years ago. People still thought that dude was good years after he wasn't. That's kind of what BI is becoming imo.

I’m looking at cashing out while we can on BI because his value isn’t getting much better once he gets that new contract short of using whatever illegal medical treatments LeBron is using to prolong his career.
I’m not saying to just dump him for nothing but missing our window to move him will be damaging in both missed opportunities with assets as well as affecting playing time and salaries for other major players like Trey.
