They need to consolidate.
Agree. I actually am fine letting the string play out on this season and just seeing where this group goes, but any pelicans trade should be a consolidation.
It will be really interesting if the lakers get knocked out in the playin or just miss it. I think you defer the laker pick till next year unless by some miracle it’s in the top 5 and you think you could be a getting an elite talent.
This team really doesn’t need another rookie off the bench next year.

You seen him play? You see him try to close out a game? You see him in the playoffs?
Agreed he isnt the best closer.
In playoffs, BI averages 27ppg ..40.7 3pt% ..6rbs..6asst
Perm, you’re gonna need a better argument here partner
Edit: i think most are mad that he stumbles as our #1 aka our closer (which is fair), but BI is a top 30-40 NBA player.

BI is perfect for a team aiming for the play in. He's not a 1...isn't alpha enough to even be a 2.

Detroit isn’t given up picks for a guy like Ingram. The only picks you are getting back for Ingram are picks from a team expecting to go deep in the playoffs.
We’d get at worst 2 picks and a young player

For Brandon Ingram? A 4 win team is trading multiple picks for Brandon Ingram?
Those picks would be heavily protected or way out on the future. If they aren’t, we should make that trade yesterday.

To be fair for Ingram id be asking for Ivey Duren and Bogo. No picks.
Also its the only way the money works out without taking someone like Burks and then Bogo is an amazing expiring next year that we could get another piece for.

Stop with the trade BI bullshite already. he’s playing his best all around basketball in his career. He might sacrifice a few points but he’s rebounding, passing and playing D at a high level. He’s actually a formidable shot blocker with his wingspan. He’s also not getting the foul calls he should. He takes the ball to the rim a lot and gets whacked but rarely gets the call while so many other players flop if you breathe on them and get the whistle. Same with Zion. He needs to play angry more. When Z is mad he plays with a different level of energy and we need that from him as well as be more selfish with the ball. He should average 8-10 free throw attempts a game.

Someone averaging less than a half a block per game is not a formidable shot blocker

CJ averages twice as many blocks per game as BI
BI's blocks have also trended downward for his career, getting slightly worse over the years.

For sure, I hear you. It's too bad, but you really can't have a rational conversation with a few folks on this board who are stuck in their fantasies. The team shoots 10-42 from 3, Booker goes nuclear, while BI is three rebounds short of a consecutive triple Dub = Gotta get rid of BI so Zion can shine. They've had the same agenda for years.

No and when we pay him 40+ million a year you can thank that moment as the time where the Pelicans started leaving New Orleans.

Ok lets accept that. Despite all this, he probably won’t make the all-star game, all-nba team or be in MVP consideration. I think this poster has made a great argument to trade him now. Even at his best season- BI doesn’t deserve 40 plus million.

Hell the smallest guy on the team in Jose averages the same amount of blocks and plays half the minutes.
I guess Jose is a formidable shot blocker also.

Some of you folks are guilty of the exact thing you're blaming others for.

Dude, BI Stans are the absolute worst.
They’re becoming worse than Lonzo Stans.
Those BI stans may be a large part of the reason I want to trade him so they can go away

3 reasons to trade BI:
1. He's about to make $40 Million +
2. He's a ball stopper. We play with better ball movement when he's not on the court.
3. He's not a clutch player in the 4th under 5 minutes. Missed shots, turnovers, tunnel vision, etc.
50 Tiger is right. If we pay BI a max we are fricked.
The main problem is David Griffin sleeps in BI PJ's. He is not trading him so we are fricked.

Actually, I think any max contact is a worthy discussion, not my point. Its the irrationals that a) have a narrative that they illogically use to pin things on when the team falls short and b) don’t believe you can have two players on the Pels succeed at a high level over the course of a season.
I told you last year, you’re better than that. For the rest, it’s like I said … no point in trying to have a rational basketball discussion.
