It's worth a lot to have a friend in team that is one of the guards to feed the ball. Here is the highlights from Lauri in his rookie season debut in MSG. Had season high 33. Dunn assisted almost all of them buckets.

When he had the charge to move the ball, things were ok. Their other guards and wings were horrible chuckers back then. Grant, Holiday, Lavine, Valentine... taking idiotic shots instead of the right pass to make.
You must be crazy if you think Jazz would want to piss off Lauri at this point. He sure doesn't have leverage to tell the Jazz "Hire this and this player", but I think it is pretty damn safe to believe you won't see Jazz hiring WCJ just to make Lauri feel unhappy.You must be crazy if you think Lauri has any say in personnel decisions at this point. He'll need a max deal for that.
Ok so first of all, I'm pretty sure they don't consult Lauri on who they should trade for or ask him to green light a trade in general. I'm pretty sure Lauri wouldn't want to be asked that for a guy he hasn't played with. However whenever you recruit a player who is a former teammate of someone in your roster.. of course you ask them. Its the best way to get insight on what type of guy he is in the locker room.You must be crazy if you think Jazz would want to piss off Lauri at this point.

Dunn will be starting tomorrow and Jackson's sure to get some run off the bench as well.

Sounds like Frank Jackson goes back to the Stars.
This is usually what happens with tanking teams. How do you expect the jazz to lose games if we have a tone of good shooting off ball players. Why do you think the jazz are tanking… so they can get them some. Lol.Our spacing is one of the worst in the league as it is. Hoarding these dribble-happy, non-shooting guards and wings doesn't make any sense.
I heard Andy on the radio talking about how Kris playing well kinda makes him mad because he’s wanted to sign him for 2 years and he’s way better than Trent Forrest… he really is one of us“Sign this guy for the rest of the season.”

I may be a little off of the timing, but wasn't that the season Dunn barely played in the NBA because of injuries (after missing 30+ games due to injury in each of the prior 3 seasons)? I think for Dunn, getting back to the NBA has been as much about overcoming the injuries as teams not trusting his game (though of course there have been shooting concerns).I heard Andy on the radio talking about how Kris playing well kinda makes him mad because he’s wanted to sign him for 2 years and he’s way better than Trent Forrest… he really is one of us
He was playing for the Wiz GLeague team and the Wiz did not appear to be interested in him. He was coming off the bench in the GLeague and not putting up boxcar stats either.I may be a little off of the timing, but wasn't that the season Dunn barely played in the NBA because of injuries (after missing 30+ games due to injury in each of the prior 3 seasons)?

Ummm he’s actually played well and has been our most consistent pg since he’s been here. Im not sure why you’d say that.OK, now I really believe we're tanking.
