Does Lauri Get Traded?
- Thread starter Saint Cy of JFC
- Start date
I feel like if Keyonte and Kessler make meaningful leaps and they sign Bridges (who becomes better in a more serious organization) then a sneaky playoff run is very possible
Probably 35-40 wins. I highly doubt Bridges is in play though. The hornets already took the PR hit bringing him back last year so I would be surprised if they don't throw a big contract at him.
I think they pull the trigger on something in the realm of the Bridges package. I don’t think anyone’s offering that right now.
Yeah but if we aren't trading him now it feels like the window is over. The Jazz roster of young players will start pushing the team to be pretty good just on the merits of their own talent (fingers crossed). I don't see another year if tanking after this season.
This post got me bricked up
Fischer put out an article just now with a section about Utah. Honestly nothing to glean from it over than just another source saying Utah is looking to add another talent next to Markkanen opportunistically. Said if they cant other teams hope they will deal Lauri
Danny has never traded a player for a cent less than what the market would suggest (usually gets significantly better), even to the organization’s detriment (holding out on Conley/Lakers then saving the Wolves). That is all I know for sure, so if the package isn’t there (which is hard to believe under his current contract status), it isn’t happening (yet?).
We were in on Mikal Bridges and Dejounte Murray trade talks last trade deadline. We’re obviously looking to improve the roster.
He also walked on both.
The key in Fischer’s intel is Danny is interested in opportunistically getting stars. Good luck in a market that fetches a super role player 5 picks and a swap.
My belief is Danny is praying that an offer like that drops from the heavens for Lauri in part so that he can save face. But it’s not going to if he goes out and starts shopping him (nor would Ryan let him).
