Trading BI has so many benefits

Frees up time for Trey and Hawkins.
Removes a ball stopper from the offense.
Saves us from what will be a bottom 5 NBA contract if he gets the max.
Will increase 3 point attempts.
Removes the urge for us to run final plays through him.
Removes a bad defender from the starting lineup. (Can be argued Trey isn't much better).
But if we can somehow move BI for a better big, please do it.
We don't need him. We've got enough offense with Zion, CJ, Trey, Jonas and Hawk.
This has to be Zion's team for good or bad.
Stop pretending a borderline All Star who's fricking high every day is the alpha of the team.
That's like saying fricking Jerami Grant or Kyle Kuzma should be team leaders. That's about the level BI is. Empty stats.
I'll give him the games where he's decisive, passing and shooting 3s he's great. But that's the minority.
Move his arse.

You make a deal with Ingram for Lauri. Mainly because of
BI is a great basketball player, but it will not fit much past this season.

Im not disagreeing but I’ll just state the obvious- as long as Griffin is GM- they will never trade BI.

Then fire griff

I think it will be a gut punch to the team at first, but the team can not afford BI to make more than he does now with his current production.
So Jonas needs an extension and BI will need one soon.
I think you ride CJ until the end of this career as you may get a discount in his twilight.
You have Herb locked up.
You have Dyson and Jordan locked up for awhile.
You will want to keep Larry and it should be affordable.
You will have to pay Trey soon.

If this team makes playoffs Griff probably becomes Mickey Loomis. Im not even joking. The expectations by ownership aren’t high.

Golden State needs some help...give Steve Kerr a call...see if he's interested in Ingram.
Posted on 1/15/24 at 5:12 pm to Dinky Mulberry
Why to golden state? Unless they giving us Curry, I dont want their trash.
Posted on 1/15/24 at 5:12 pm to ghost2most
You can trade him but you still need another guy who can create offense consistently. That’s not going to be a “big”

Isn't Ingram from North Carolina?...So, trade him to Charlotte...for Brandon Miller. Both are named Brandon...so that should be a pretty even trade. We need another Bama player...to replace the "soon to be gone"...Kira Lewis.

Why would Charlotte do that? I'd trade him for him in a heartbeat

OK...Pels have to throw in some other "stuff"...to get the deal done.

Ingram biggest issue is consistency. That's it. He's been incredible this year and these threads are so hot take ridiculous.
Before this game he was literally having his most efficient scoring season ever and has been a big reason why we've been going on this run. He's facilitating very well and until today was playing crazy good.

BI is great for an up and comer team. He's got no place on a potential contender. Neither does Willie...

Eh, but has he?
Incredible would mean playing at an All Star or All Pro level. He won't make either.
He's the epitome of a good not great player.

How are you freeing up minutes for Trey and Hawk when you’re trading Ingram for a guy that will play the same amount of minutes?
Not to fail to mention our ball handling and passing would take a HUGE hit

The passing was way better last game without BI and the entire time he wasn’t playing this game. And that ball handling doesn’t matter much if he is just using it to dribble into a dumbass midrange shot

Jonas comes off the bench.
