Trade ideas

I agree on Houston, they need to consolidate. I'm not sure we are the best partner for them.
We are. Hou is ranked bottom half in terms of 3pt shooting. Adding one of the leagues best shooters definitely makes sense for them. Plus it's not like there are that many teams willing to sell their biggest star at the moment. And I think teams will most definitely prioritze Lauri over the likes of Lavine and Vuce.
 
Well, I guess the other option is that we have to have a better plan to proceed with Lauri. And maybe we do…but I don’t think we will get the same price as those two guys if we decide to trade him. They were much better players imo.

A bidding war could drive the price up quite a bit though.
Fit, contract size, and age... I think he is every bit as valuable as a trade chip as Rudy was.
 
I am listening... and I love these guys... but the offers have been full trash thus far. Protected picks and ****.
they suggest Bertans, Dieng, Giddey, plus 3 firsts for Lauri and KO. They are OKC guys just an FYI.
 
Honestly in any potential Lauri trade I think I would prioritize young talent over picks. So I dont think the Thunder can get me there.

Maybe if the Pistons get the Jazz on the phone and offer Ausuar w/ two picks.....

But even then, even with how special AUsuar looks, the dude is an awful awful awfull awful awful shooter. I saw a highlight where he airballed by like 5 feet in a way that I've never seen from a NBA player

On the top of my head, here’s the list of young(is) talent that are not untouchable from potential suitors:

DET:
Ausar (probably untouchable)
Ivey
Hayes
Stewart

OKC:
Giddey
Dieng
Wallace
Joe

ATL:
Hunter (not young)
Okongwu
Johnson
Griffin
Bey
Bufkin

IND:
Mathurin
Walker
Nesmith
Nembhard
Sheppard
Smith
Jackson

Kings:
Murray
Huerter

What teams/players am I missing?

Eh…I don’t know about that. We were talking about like a top 10-15 player in the league, and he was for the Jazz. On top of that, everyone thought it was an overpay the instant it happened so I’m not sure that is the reference point we should be looking at and the trade package we would be expecting.

I don’t think the media guys are correct in their trade value assessment of Lauri….but he’s definitely somewhere in between the two extremes.
 
Warriors just need to trade Klay + 1 first or 2 seconds for Lavine and call it a day.

It just makes too much sense for both teams. Bulls save money and get the cap space with Klay’s expiring and GSW is one of the only teams that are OK with Lavines contract cuz Steph/Draymind/Wiggins are also locked through 26/27 as well. They can't really blow it up until then. Lavine fits their timeline

I meant that the other way around. We don't want Whitmore and I'm not sure Amen is a good fit either. What picks do they own that we would value?

He is... we found someone that overpaid for Rudy... if there is a bidding war because a guy's market is much wider then why wouldn't an overpay happen?
