"Hey Lauri, how about we give you way more money than anyone else can?"

Seems fixable. . .

Also, “hey, we all know what’s happening here. How about we get you paid, then play you only at home games so you can scorch the nets and stay in peak shape, and we’ll find you a suitable home in six months where you can start winning AND be appreciated for the special talent that you are.”
 
I know the Kings arent pushing in for Lauri. They are going to go for the smaller priced Ingram if they want to make a "big splash"

I never said it wouldn't be fixable... just a little awkward.

And I like Keegan but they really value him. He is said to be a no-go and their picks are less interesting to me than what Spurs or GS or Phoenix can offer.

I do love Carter but this is bigger than him.
 
I don't know if the Kings have enough, but they are likely in desperation mode. Fox turned down an extension because he's eerie about the future and they've basketball done nothing this summer. I love Lauri, but Kangz gonna Kangz. If they trade for him, he might walk with Fox shortly after. Their distant picks have to be considered some of the most enticing.

It's too bad Keegan is such a meh prospect.

Yeah, he might not want to sign an extension deal when he knows he could be traded six months later to a team where he wouldn't like to play. I mean with Danny shopping him now, he knows that the situation has changed from what it was earlier. Idk, I’d be disappointed to see Lauri go. He likely hasn’t even reached his peak yet.
 
I felt really good about the Rudy and Don trade values before they happened. They were elite players locked into long term deals....I was the one saying the haul was going to be better than expected but we shouldn't settle. This time with Lauri, as amazing as he is he is not quite as good as those two and he is on a one year deal. I think we will get a good deal, but maybe underwhelming compared to some expectations I've been seeing. Some of these packages are significantly more than Bridges, I think he will yield a little bit less if traded.

I'm totally in for the tank because at this point the best options to execute other plans have dried up. If they had other plans and whiffed, time to pivot is now and not in the middle of the season for the third time.
