Dunn deal is done

We need a reliable PG and it doesn't necessarily have to be Dunn. But he have shown he can play so sign him? We traded away Mike and naw and bought out westbrick and Sexton is injury prone. We need another guard

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.

Kanter was "guarding" him on most of those points, so it really doesn't count.

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.

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.

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.

I'm 90% sure they asked him on some random bypassing moment something like "what do you think about Kris Dunn?" as a standard peer scouting report type of thing. Only reason I'm 90% sure is because Dunn is on a 10-day contract so its not like they go the extra mile on due diligence on those filler deals.

If they were to consider giving lots of assets for a guy like Zach Lavine, I'm sure Lauri would be consulted in much more detail and they would also ask the question: "Do you want to play with him?". But if they went for Mikal Bridges, Lauri wouldn't know that before the others in that locker room.
 
Yeah, might be an option. But THT isn't playing 40+ minutes, which would mean quite a lot of Dunn-Jackson minutes. And I'm purely guessing Hardy would rather see Dunn-Ochai/Jackson-Ochai.

Or maybe we go with Lauri as the point-forward and he gets 10+ assist. Never know with this team.

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.

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.

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

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).

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.

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.

He's trash.

There's a reason he fell out of the league, and that reason is not "struggling with injuries". Kevin Love is ancient, can't move or guard anyone, has a broken down body, is shooting 34% from the perimeter this season... and he found a new team in 5 seconds after getting bought out. Playing over 22 mpg.

I'm not sure I needed one more reason to dislike Dunn, but I got one nevertheless: he's becoming the personification of this bull*** tank. This guy wouldn't have played a single minute for the Jazz in November. And now he's the floor general. You've got to be ****ing kidding me.

I think I'm done with this season. Have fun with Dunn and his Tank Brigade.
