I hope we get to see them scapegoat someone and then all this buying off everyone philosophy crumbles.
BI looks like he’s getting ready to bolt New Orleans and take a Mega Max deal with Charlotte this offseason
Yeah, unfortunately they’ll match any offer. He’s too valuable, even as a trade asset. If BI wants Charlotte or NY his best bet is to sign a QO and become unrestricted next season. But I would laugh at NOLA fans if their organization screwed this one up. _________________ “You have to dance beautifully in the box that you are comfortable dancing in.” - Kobe Bryant
I feel bad for whoever gets BI at the Mega Max deal.
A 22 year old All Star who’s averaging 25 ppg, 6 rpg, 4 apg, with a high defensive rating?
Did I just jump into a time machine or something?

BI would be a huge star on the Knicks. Ewing never accomplished anything and his name was always up there with Admiral, Hakeem, and Shaq. _________________ “You have to dance beautifully in the box that you are comfortable dancing in.” - Kobe Bryant

Where did the high defensive rating come from? I thought it fell off noticeably this season, which may be more of a symptom of how Gentry's teams usually fare on that end in favor of increased pace and scoring.
I love BI and he's likely gonna be worth his next contract, but he's also gonna have the good stats/bad team label until proven otherwise. I think he's developed into a good to great scorer, which is enhanced even more by his unique physical profile (hard to stop a guy who can move, dribble and shoot like he does with his length), but I'm still not sure how much he contributes to winning. That's not to say he doesn't or that he can't, it's just kind of an open question right now exactly how far he can take a team as its star.
Though with Zion, depending on his health, it's not like BI will have to carry the load himself anyway.

Okay maybe not a high defensive rating this season but BI has always had clamps.
Blocking Rudy Gobert and then locking down Donovan Mitchell the next play type of defense that’s always been evident.
Definitely not thriving well in Gentry’s system but if you followed him his whole career you already know he brings it’s on the defensive end.
As for big numbers on bad teams not translating to wins , pretty much the story of a lot of the current NBA superstars in our league.
Denver moves to 2, clippers fall to 3. Thunder overtake Rox.
Clippers dance with Houston Rd 1.
Houston takes on Denver in Rd 2.
Lakers route: Memphis -> Thunder -> Rox -> Bucks
Memphis wont qualify. it will be blazers.
Could be.
After yesterday's game, I dont think the Clippers fall out of #2. Especially since Denver has so many injuries. _________________ 💜💛 🏆 👀 🍖 #18!!!
