Does Lauri Get Traded?

[Coach Ellis]

Unless you figure that the bottom falls out of GSW in the next few years even after trading them Lauri.

I feel like even after they bottom out, they’ll have the green light to spend what it takes to build it back up again. 99% sure Minnesota and Atlanta do not have that mandate. Those picks are more valuable - if SAS is willing to spend that much. I’m not sure I’m buying that they will pull the trigger on that type of deal tbh.

I’m not sure why we would make that assumption at this point; they almost landed PG yesterday, and have an owner that is willing to spend more than basically anyone else in the league

I'll reiterate my belief that the 2025 draft is extremely deep with all star level talent, but maybe not MVP level talent whereas the 2026 draft has the MVP level guys, but I'm not sure how deep it is.

Having multiple picks in 2025 could result in multiple all star level players.

 

[Elizah Huge]

I'm fine turning that down. That level of package isn't going anywhere.

lol ok those later Warriors picks will be gold. 4 firsts and 3 swaps plus a good young player or two is enough. Y’all wilding.

I don't think they can trade 25 or 31 unprotected, those must be swaps.

What is wilding? Is the price for a star 'missing piece' player league wide going to go down in the near future?

If they get the pick back from Washington they could trade the 2031 unprotected.

In 2025 we could just say they get the lesser of the four picks we will own.

A big piece of trading Lauri is our own pick in 2025 and 2026 improving. If we’re going to trade him now is the time to do so.

But how are they getting their pick back from WAS? The 2030 pick makes 2029 and 2031 untradeable, only in swaps. 2025 can only be swapped bc they already traded 2024.

In a few years Paul George will be 37 and Steph will be 39. Draymond’s always been a ceiling raiser not a floor raiser, and he’s been declining for years.

I’m frankly surprised you think GSW will be good in 3-5 years.

It’s literally a terrible pick it’s top-20 protected that turns into a second. It wouldn’t be that hard.

That’s why their picks in 2028/2029/2030/2031 are extremely enticing to me.
