Warriors working on the fringes makes sense. The roster had holes if they gave us 2 or 3 of Moody, Podz and JK.

Their 3pt shooting with Steph, Buddy and Lauri would be such a fireworks.

I have been thinking that, in case of Lauri ending traded into Warriors, Jazz might have in late 2020s a good chance getting him back for his last few good seasons when Steph retires. In that point, Jazz might be ready to contend, Lauri loves being in Utah etc. I already see it. Do you?

The defense with those 3 would also be fireworks. I mean on fire and in the works.

To the other question, yes. Everything Ive read indicates Lauri loves SLC. Makes sense him being from Jyväskylä.
 
Kuminga is pretty meh for me. Dude could have greater success 20 years ago but as the game evolves, you have to either pass or shoot the 3s at a very high level to become a real star in this league.

As things stand, Kuminga is just way too one dimensional to be anything more than an above average starter/role player.

We could do better.
 
I kinda liked the Kings Pelicans three teamer. Grab a couple picks from the Kings… some from NO… not sure if Carter or Hawkins could be involved there. I like the idea of landing Barnes as an adult in the room… he’s a great locker room guy to be the babysitter.
 
This was posted into several Finnish sports forums too :D

If the name in the tweet goes amiss, then opening it and seeing zero comments should reveal the fakeness.

And if we’re being honest, Kings and Pelicans draft capital is a better bet anyway.
 
Also FWIW if a deal happens, my money is on Warriors being the ones who overpay more than others.

Just based on desperation levels of the candidates. If Kings FO believes in Murray as much as rumors indicate then thats their mental safety net.

Spurs are my 2nd favourite because they may value the fit/opportunity too great to pass up on.

Spurs know they can't waste any more Wemby seasons. You never know about his health or longevity. They're going hard at the playoffs next season. Lauri would be an ideal fit.

Yeah to me its about building the best possible team around Wemby.

Traditional bigs whose main traits are to protect the rim and rebound are horrible fits with a 7'4 guy who probably rebounds and protects the rim better than they do. So if you add another big, he needs to be able to play on the perimeter or inside on both ends of the court. In addition to that, Lauri draws a defender who needs to be pretty tall and fast with a great reach, which is also what you'd want to put on Wemby. So what teams are out there who can match up with both of them defensively?

So I think there are very strong reasons for Spurs to win this bidding race. However I still think GS is the leading horse, because you cannot underestimate the impact of desperation.
