It's already pretty late with BI going into the final year of his contract and looking for a max extension.
But Brandon is a good player--maybe just not as good as he thinks he is. I think he can be a second or third option on a contending team. But you can't have two main stars on a contender who don't shoot threes. So, if Pels are serious, either Brandon or Zion has to go.
Brandon, of course, could change. I still wouldn't want to give him a 4-year extension after next year, but if he really is serious about learning from the past year and altering his shot profile to fit with Zion the way CJ did, he could be part of a winning team. I still don't want to pay him though. If you can avoid it, you shouldn't try to teach an elephant to tap dance. Brandon plays the way he plays. Best for Pels to move on to players who naturally fit better around Z.

Someone I won’t name brought up a good point the other day.
If I’m Griff I sit BI down and offer him an extension at 35 million a year, paying him right under Zion. I tell him that is the max we will pay, and he has to fall in line behind Zion because we are establishing a clear hierarchy on this team.
If he buys in and signs it, great, if he doesn’t then he demands a trade and still great.
