Does Lauri Get Traded?

[hgb]

Lol. You’re basing this off of what DA precedence?

Well, I'm certainly hoping I'm wrong.

Silicon Valley Tech Boom happened. It might not be LA/Miami, but it's probably in the running for third most appealing city for NBA players.

SF kinda sucks right now. Especially for families.

I'll take the firsts. Kuminga is interesting but nah... he's still to theoretical to me.

Is Kuminga more valuable than "untradable" Barrett? Or "untradable"(read - "traded 3 times in a year") Grimes?

Does that change the weather? San Francisco/Oakland is slightly miserable, IMO. State taxes are also extremely high.

All’s I’m saying is that with a salary cap (and salary floor), being a willing spender is the difference between good and great, not bad and good.

We used to visit every summer. It always had its issues but they have gotten worse.

Kuminga is the equivalent of like... Sexton or Lauri in the Mitchell trade. Meaning... good things to have as salaries coming your way... but don't fool yourself that you won't need to give up tons of picks too...

Kuminga has wayyyy higher value than Sexton/Lauri at the time they were traded imo.

I think it’s ok to say, “we’d rather have the picks than Kuminga”….but we’re not getting everything.

That’s fine…I’m just saying that if he was in the deal, he would substitute for a heavy chunk of draft capital. People listing out every single GSW asset and still pondering if it’s worth it would not like the deal that may happen.

I’m not pondering if it’s worth it but I think that’s the type of deal that would need to happen to get it done.

NBA players seem to like it.

If he’s such a nice/valuable player, why wouldn’t they just want to keep Kuminga if they’re going all in for a championship? Seems in the interest of all parties that he stays in GSW and the Jazz get better draft capital.

Kuminga is 21 years old and still developing. They may choose to keep him, but there’s also a chance UTA really wants him. Kuminga fits better on a young, developing team than a team that’s competing for the championship. They already had issues with his role/playing time.

I really hope the GSW news is just us leaking it to get leverage over the Spurs offer...

Couple of rando Sacto insiders speculating that Lauri might be nice for the Kings.

I wouldn’t be shaken at all at the prospect of conveying the GSW pick to Washington 21-30. The Jazz are gonna have future-facing assets coming out of their ears, the risk of losing one mid-asset six years down the road is practically a non-issue.
