Does Lauri Get Traded?

Does Lauri Get Dealt Before The Season Starts?


  • Total voters
    134
  • Poll closed .
Here's how I would rank the teams most likely to have Lauri to start the season (only including teams that have had a legitimate source name them as interested)

  1. Utah
  2. New Orleans
  3. Houston
  4. San Antonio
  5. Sacramento
  6. Golden State
  7. Minnesota

I would give him the max this year if it meant taking some off the later years.
To what end? We're going to ask for the moon because Lauri's the best player on earth but we're going to pay him less than that? I don't see the upside.

Just pay the dude (unless the matter of "savings" is tangibly important).

We’re asking for the moon because we absolutely have all the leverage and don’t have to trade him. Plus look what Mikal Bridges who is a worse player just went for.
 
Per sources, Keegan, Kuminga, and Vassell are off the table at the moment.
Yeah, I should probably move the Kings down my list of suitors, but I do have a weird feeling they might get desperate.

The Locked On Kings guy said the same thing about Murray. He said that he thinks Keegan is going to be better than Lauri and that he has heard that from certain people within the organization too.

He also said he doesnt think the Kings would put all their picks in. So basically, from what I can guess through the host comments, the Kings probably offered 2 unprotected first, Barnes or Huerter, and maybe Devin Carter.

To me the Pelicans are the dark horse team. They have enough draft capital to make a great offer without having any player talent come back. They have enough reason to be desperate. Lauri is a great fit next to Zion.

They got the following draft capital:

  • 2025 Lakers Pick
  • 2025 Bucks pick top 4 protected
  • 2026 swap with Bucks
  • 2027 first from Milwaukee
  • They have complete control of their own draft capital (first rounders)

That might be a really good situation for Lauri as well. If Zion could ****ing stay healthy.
