I don’t hate him, but he’s not the guy to build your team around. Pretty sure it would take Lauri to get him, and I’d rather hold out for a great draft asset or just keep him at that point.

Ya I wouldn't build my team around a guy that barely played either lol.
And if I was trading Lauri for kuminga the trade would look like the one discussed last year where they get Lauri and we get kuminga, moody and like 5 picks.

I was just saying I like him like I like tay Henny. He interests me and I could see him turning into something someday. There is possibly some potential.

I would love to have those Warriors picks in a post Steph era. Those are the great picks I’d be looking for. Kuminga can be the matching salary. It can be a short term, high money deal. He can be the tank commander and get his money opportunity with us. With our luck, he will turn into a good player like Lauri and ruin the tank. Restarting the cycle.

No rule that you have to build your team around him. I like him as a flier and salary matching.

I don’t disagree. I just think the Golden State trade for Lauri ship sailed away when they went out and got Jimmy Butler. I’m not confident that they’ll be that bad once Curry retires either. I fully expect them to be able to reload pretty quickly.

I’d much rather wait to see if there’s better offers for Lauri now that his contract situation is clear. I still think he’ll command a better trade package than what the Warriors can put together if the Jazz are patient.
