Lauri an all-star

It's nice that MTJK stopped by because this is an opportune time to say how glad I am that New York screwed up the Donovan deal and how wrong I was about the Cleveland deal. I figured there was a low chance we would be getting an All Star quality player back from that deal and here we are half a season later and we already have one.

Lauri has completely blown away all of my expectations for him. The scary thing is I think he still might have another level he can get to.
 
Lauri is well deserving and great to see him rewarded. I have a feeling next year we dont have to wait this long to see him selected.
 
Charity.

Markinnen making the All Stars over Jalen Brunson is a joke…and it ain’t funny. We know the only reason Lauri made the team is because the game is in that little village called Utah.

I am sending Adam Silver a text demanding that he remove the charity case Markinnen and replace him with the deserving Brunson.
I think you have Lauri, a west frontcourt player confused with someone. Its probably Demar DeRozan and Chicago boards you were looking for.

However now that you are here, I think we all can agree the two biggest snubs from east backcourt were definitely Harden and Young.

Harden - absolutely. Young - nah. Hopefully, their struggles this year cause them to overreact and the Jazz can Ainge them into trading John Collins and their pick at the deadline.
 
I think the only picks they can even trade are 2023/2029
2023 is the one I’d want. I’d take on the rest of Collins contract, plus give them real value back - like Beasley/Vando - and the cap relief that comes with it. I want the pick though. Push comes to shove and I’d be willing to swap with the 76ers pick. . . but ideally we can get it outright with minimal protections.

Their 2023 pick would be nice because we could offload some of our draft capital this summer to have a pick or two next year.
