We know that's not true because they were never capable of trading 3+ picks and 3+ swaps.The Kings almost surely offered it before they did the Derozan deal.

Sorry that being objective hurts you. I'm also trying to understand how I sneaky hate on Lauri. He's a number 2 and I don't think anyone on here will claim otherwise.That dudes shtick is the young players on any team other than the Jazz. Also loves to throw shade and sneaky hate on Lauri and Hardy.
Jerami Grant is their best player, so yeah saying they will be better than us is just him projecting development there and not here.
Sure they were… just have to have some work around language.We know that's not true because they were never capable of trading 3+ picks and 3+ swaps.
No they weren't 3+ means more than 3 picks and more than 3 swaps. Not possible. Unless you want to add in 2nd rd picks which we obviously are not talking about.Sure they were… just have to have some work around language.
They could add other stuff. Like players. Their pick based package isn’t as good as GS pick based package. They knew it so they moved on. GS is still very much holding out hope. They have at least that much on the table. Lauri is extremely valuable. He will command a big return.No they weren't 3+ means more than 3 picks and more than 3 swaps. Not possible. Unless you want to add in 2nd rd picks which we obviously are not talking about.
Exactly.We won 31 games last year while getting absolutely disgusting after the break. We will not be able to cram any harder than we did last year.
I believe it was @silesian that said that the worst record is guaranteed a top-5 pick and that has stuck with me.I think it's possible that's exactly what happens next year. I think you have to ask yourself would you prefer really good odds at a top 5 pick and no Lauri or a really good odds at a top 7 pick and have Lauri. That's kind of what it comes down to for me.
He's correct. We must suck.I believe it was @silesian that said that the worst record is guaranteed a top-5 pick and that has stuck with me.
I want us to be despicable.
It MIGHT be if we get rid of Walker (without a comparable player coming back) and knee-cap the defense, but we gotta get going on getting rid of him, then.If we are actually a 7-10 team and not a 3-6 team, then there's no question. Have to trade Lauri. Lauri + tank isn't viable.
Sure, but if Keyonte and/or Hendricks take a step we might kinda be back where we were at last year.We're going through our team worrying about Bazley and Eubanks ruining the tank. Have that same optimistic eye towards every team and suddenly no one can tank. Vets+depth is what wins games during the RS, that is the difference between this year and 22. 22 roster was littered with vets and depth, this roster is filled with inexperienced kids. Biggest case against the Jazz is Lauri and Sexton, both of which can be solved with divine intervention. That's all I'm saying.
Sure, but if Keyonte and/or Hendricks take a step we might kinda be back where we were at last year.
There are no comparable players. They can all shoot free throws and have basic post moves. Any big coming back in a Walker trade would help the offense more than they would hurt the defense.It MIGHT be if we get rid of Walker (without a comparable player coming back) and knee-cap the defense
Well ya, pretty much every team has a package that would exceed the bridges benchmark but if they aren't offering that package then it doesn't really matter.I'm not a Keegan guy, and it also seems like the Kings did not want to trade him, but I think the Kings definitely had a package that meets or exceeds the Bridges benchmark.
That has the jazz finishing 4th worst?He's correct. We must suck.
