Does Lauri Get Traded?

[Saint Cy of JFC]

But while a play-in team pick is fine and all, I don't see it as enough to tempt me to move Lauri. I don't really see any way Atlanta are really bad.

Brother I said play-in AT BEST

Ok now you're just being a dumbass. Congrats.

Not sure it’s possible for anyone else to be a dumbass on this board with you hogging it all up.

For a few days now you insult anyone who doesn’t agree with you. And this time, by your logic we should never of traded Conley because keeping him makes other people All Stars. Lauri broke out the summer before he joined the Jazz and kept it rolling with his new team. Lauri is all star level with or without Conley.

Yeah, and I think that's a very likely outcome. They still have very solid players and won't be tanking, so a bottom 7-8 feels very unlikely to me.

OKC signing Hartenstein means they probably arent offering anything for Lauri.

No my logic was we kept Conley and Conley boosted his own value along with everyone else by making the Jazz look like winners. It's a fact. You just sound like a dumbass, I'm sorry. You fail to understand some pretty clear logic and are getting weird about Lauri's improvement being just him? I dont care how good Lauri's stats are, if the team isnt winning he isnt an All-Star (like this past season). Being an all-star matters. Winning matters. It raises value. It's common sense.

Im rather surprised even though Hartenstein fits in very well. I just thought based on a lot of analyst comments that OKC is very committed to playing 5 out.

Where did the Collier and Flip picks come from? Were they part of the Rudy or Donovan trade?

Simone and the KO/Ochai trades.

Yep

Lauri definitely struggled and was a bit frustrated post ASB/Conley trade, he definitely made it easier for him. But Lauri did have his Euro breakout before talking into training camp with the Jazz.

I think it's also fair that Conley was uniquely set to help Lauri pop off even more. Lauri is a shot finisher at heart, Conley wouldn't "make" many other players elevate their stats as much

San Antonio has a very good collection of juicy picks that aren’t theirs. I think I like their potential package the best at the moment unless Houston is willing to trade a blue chip prospect with a bunch of future picks.

I didn't think it had. Like I said before, if the media would stop mentioning a Lauri trade without the caveat of "it's not gonna happen", I would feel like something has changed. We had heard that teams were calling, but the Jazz were not interested and it was not happening for a long, long time.

Lowe mentioning it unprompted is a lot different than McMahon talking about it on a pod when asked what’s going on in Utah and him saying “he’s available if the Thunder want to give J dub and 5 picks”. That’s essentially a **** off… listening was a tone change. Lowe isn’t a rumor monger… him mentioning it how and when he did was an absolute change.

It changed when Bridges was moved for likely a variety of reasons.
