This will be very unpopular but I hope we keep the roster together.

If we can just get everyone healthy I honestly think this team can be very good because we have a true PG in Dejounte now to run the team. It really sucks not having Herb but that will open up more minutes for Trey to be on the floor, especially with Zion in and BI resting on the bench. When Z needs a break is BI’s time to be the primary scorer. Obviously if you are offered a trade that is too good to pass up you do it but if not I’d rather keep BI and see what we have with Dejounte then you can always do a sign and trade with BI in the offseason.

I’m not saying keep them together for years, just this year if we don’t get a decent offer for BI. If you get a good offer you absolutely do it but I’m not sure the Pels will get a good offer.

How do we keep BI with his contract demands? Is he worth it to the Pels to pay the contract he wants?

Even at out best, spacing still hasn't been great.


The ceiling for this roster, when healthy, is second round.


Everyone is getting drunk off of a decent stretch of games. Zion is going to get hurt again at some point and DJM is going to come back down to earth at some point... history says so.

why keep them just for this year when we're 11-32? what's the point? why potentially hurt our spot in the draft and win more games for absolutely nothing.


I think y'all need to realize the best asset you're gonna get for any of these players rn is this current draft pick we own and continue losing a lot

If we don't make a move, shed a few million, and get under the tax line, we forfeit potentially over 30M in tax payment. Plus start a potential repeater penalty going forward. All of that to be a lottery team. It's not worth it and embarrassing. We are going to make a move. It has to happen..

it really does blow my mind how a couple wins against teams like the fricking wizards, jazz, and a ref assisted win against the star less mavs have people thinking we should keep this core of players.

Zion will never win anything meaningful in the NBA. Move on.

The Pels shot profile has gone from dead last to top half since a certain player stopped playing games.

When exactly have we been at our best. Have I missed all the games where we had BI, Zion, Dejounte, Trey, etc? Can you link me to those games?

Are you simply going to gloss over the fact that when that certain player was playing, he was surrounded by G Leaguers for the most part ( and didn’t have Murray, Zion, CJ for the vast majority of that time). Of course you are.

This season has shown just exactly how poor of a fit BI is with the rest of the team. It's not even just the shot profile -- it's also how slow he plays on a team that otherwise wants to play fast and run.

There isn't a number at which I would want him back next season. BI needs to play for a halfcourt team.

Id really like to have a tally of every thread that started out with this statement the last 5 years.
