Does Lauri Get Traded?

[hgb]

I'm totally out on trading him, really, but I think I'm going to be disappointed.

A GSW picks package isn't gonna do anything for me. Keep Lauri

Just kind of funny to me people think there is this big blockbuster deal that hinges on the Warriors getting the Wizards to agree to something. What's preventing the Wizards from demanding such a big price on that were it becomes unattainable? It's going to be hard enough to get two teams to agree to such a big deal.

Woj just went on ESPN and said the Warriors have switched gears and are aggressively targeting Markannen.

But seriously... we know what's going to happen right? Ainge will ask for... *checks notes* EVERYTHING! And GSW will be like #WeGotAllLeverage... then Ainge is like... cool... Spurs give me a few ATL picks and some other stuff and you got it...

It shouldn’t be hard to get the Wizards to bite. They can play a little hard ball, but ultimately it is in their best interest to make that pick better for them. As it stand right now, they can only have that pick if it’s a late first. Can switch it to a swap/give them a protect first….many ways to skin a cat.

29/31 outright is a lot better than 29/31 swaps.

Owning the draft of a young team like Minny or Cleveland is nothing compared to owning the draft of an old team like Golden State.

That being said, Spurs still have better assets which DA could get in the next draft.

Golden State is a destination franchise with a lot of money. I would like their unprotected picks, but I think they have a much better shot at being a solid team for years rather than the Hawks picks we could get from the Spurs. I appreciate Golden State for being a team that raises the bidding offers, but I dont see them as being a serious team for Lauri.

It will be interesting to see how big of a destination they will be going forward with Curry entering his twilight years. Right now I would put money on them fading as a destination franchise over the next few years.

Egg on my face….but I’m happy about it. I think this is the right direction. All we need now is a bidding war.

Pretty major hitch to rely on that 3rd party if they are being greedy/crazy. If they are being reasonable, then replacing the value of a top-20 protected pick or 2nd shouldn’t be difficult. But it is nonetheless a big swing variable.

Brother, if they don’t play ball we get swaps in 25/27/29/31 and picks in 26/28/30. The 2030 pick would just be protected 21-30.

Windy reporting on these talks is a big deal. He is very adverse to being tied to specific deal unless serious conversations are happening. We'll see what Ainge does.

Unless San Francisco has teleported to Nebraska I think they are safe.
