Even with Lauri I think it's going to be hard to bottom out in 2025 and then flip a switch and be good in 2026. Not that we're a free agent destination anyway, but we won't have any space to sign anyone. We would be reliant on the trade market where Ainge often strikes out in adding talent because he won't overpay.

I think if we go the tank with Lauri route, we're probably giving up a pretty good pick to OKC in 2026 plus not have any other picks.

I just wonder if a flawed win now guy is available at the right price. Like if you wanted Brandon Ingram right now it wouldn’t cost much. The market seems to have gone completely frigid on guys like that. More likely we don’t get the guy and then pivot away from Lauri in the offseason I suppose. I haven’t done a tone check lately but feel like 12% is right now.
 
Lauri is a no doubt full max guy right now....what is the percentage chance he falls towards the Ingram-ish territory where that full max gets iffy? I feel as though the standard for a max contract guy has risen considerably with the new CBA. It's something I've overlooked and will need to adjust to. In the old CBA, guys like Ingram, George, Buter ect would have most teams begging them to sign a full max despite their flaws/old age.

5%? 10%?

There’s a lot to it. Guys that play well with others and are in their 20s will still get paid. See OG Anunoby.
 
I said few days ago already but Podz deal is not gonna include all the picks.

If you guys put some thought into it you will realize that if they trade Podz they need to retain assets to get a solid replacement for a starting guard who can also lead their 2nd unit. Melton, Hield or GP2 aint it.

Now Anthony Slater said the same thing. He doesnt think they will trade him at all because he is so beloved in the organization, but if they did they would need to leave themselves assets for another significant trade.

It's extremely hard to say... I like Collier from current rookies more rn than Flip, but Flip has the size and shooting potential that modern NBA needs.

This is crazy. You value Collier over Filip?

Philip is going to be the guy that takes this team to another level. I feel like he’s more skilled than both joker and Sabonis. Hes way more fluid of an athlete. He has much better handles, his passing looks top notch. He may just need to get to their level in strength. He has that high of a potential. Im predicting he could be a triple double machine.

IMO he’s the rookie with the highest ceiling. Hell, I wish Cody had the handles Filip has. Last nights game was an eye opener. What center or 4 is going to be able to guard him? Centers mostly can’t guard on the perimeter with his ball skills and fluidity, smaller 4’s won’t be able to keep him from getting to where he needs to go

How he fell to the second round is crazy and tells me scouts just don’t have a clue. He looks like a top of the lottery prospect to me.

Sky’s the limit for him as long as he wants it.

It really isn’t. How many bigs do you think are out there that move, handle the ball, pass, and shoot like him? Hell Sabonis isn’t nearly the 3pt shooter Filip is.

Joker, Sabonis, Porzingis, Chet Holmgren, Lopez thes bigs that playmaker, and stretch the floor play for the top offenses in the league right now. If you want to be a contender, get ya one of these. And the way he moves, handles and passes and shoots. He’s going to be as good as he wants to be. He’ll just think if Markkanen moved and handled the ball like filip. I’ll admit I’m completely letting myself go with him but the talent is all there. He just needs to want it and go for it. And I hope coach gives him an opportunity to take it.
