Does Lauri Get Traded?

[KqWIN]

Eerily reminiscent of TU telling us the same thing regarding Gobert.

I was on the other side of this argument for Don/Rudy. I have the capacity to see how it's a different situation with Lauri.

Podz is bigger and better than both. It’s not really close either.

But not as athletic.

Another interesting Lauri trade. Not that I would do this one (Hawks pick would have to be unprotected to start), but it highlights how easily the Spurs can swing some big trades and become an instant contender.

He's also not that small. He is 6'5 in shoes.

No Podz no deal. I’m not settling for a lesser package and neither is DA.

Paging @Handlogten's Heros the garbage offer police.

Its not a garbage offer. Its not an offer we have to accept of course. I think its in a fair window but towards the bottom. I also don't think adding Podz means we compromise on picks (seconds were reported in the deal they can have those back). Currently the situation is GS offering Moody+1st picks and swaps+seconds according to what Shams said. He says we want all that plus Podz, JK. So that is the middle ground compromise if we really want to make a deal with them. DA might just be like "this is the price... we don't compromise" though. If they added Podz to the package I think that is when DA has a meeting to really decide what to do.

Podz is dynamic

Podz on a tanking team would look like a straight up star (and might prove to legitimately be one). He has some bonkers flashes and special ability. He rebounds like a 4, is a disruptive defender, and shoots the lights out on and off the ball.

DA has even more of the upper hand with Lauri....

Keyonte isn’t particularly athletic and Collier doesn’t have hops.

He’s a substantially better basketball player than both.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

Of course it could be a multi team deal, I'm just saying all the picks + moody is a deal I would accept.

Look... DA is a different dude. Sean Marks also got pressured into sending Harden to Philly for Simmons and picks. DA likely a tougher negotiator and GS might be in a more desperate position.

He should help us be more organized and competent.

He might be the piece that bridges their timelines and make their draft capital meh. I hold the line there, understanding you can’t get all the draft capital as well.
