The 76ers only want to give Utah a 2028 1st round pick for taking George. Yeah, good luck with that LOL. Give us VJ AND 2 1st picks.

Walter
VJ
Ace
Flip/Hendricks
Walker

Lose and then get Peterson/Boozer

Now that looks great.
 
Well except they didn't all even have the same trade idea, all 3 of those just said "this is an idea that Grant Hughes guy published, and this is what I think about it". They're just reaction videos in print form. They all point back to the same single source.
 
Lauri's future value is considerably higher than Paul George's at this point in their career. Taking on PG's contract for a single FRP is simply not worth it. Can't imagine that's the deal that gets struck, if indeed there is one.
 
It's not clear to me whether NBA "reporters" (term used very loosely) just make this shiite up for clicks or are actually reporting something they've heard that someone else heard some shiite someone pulled out of their backside. This thread is evidence that someone is paying attention to this shiite, which is, I suppose, why this shiite exists in the first place.

There's so much chaff in the social media sphere these days that one is justified wondering at times whether there's any wheat in there.
 
Why Austin Ainge would trade Lauri for Paul George
Yeah i do understand that Jazz have to decide some point what to do with Lauri because he doesn't fit Jazz timeline but still lets get real in here.

If VJ Egdecombe is not included this trade it won't happen.
Also don't forget that 76ers are already paying big bucks for Embiid who's injured most of the season per year so does 76ers have even cap space for Lauri's contract and salary.

You might find your life improved, if you were to take a media literacy class. You'd have to apply yourself, though.
 
Once teams draft a player the fanbase and coaching staff get attached quick. They are not moving VJ anytime soon.
That's exactly what i meant.
VJ basically is only quality prospect what 76ers have and who Jazz would want in a trade so that's why trading Lauri for Paul George will not happen.
 
Only way getting Lauri makes sense for the Sixers is if they have the gift of foresight and can see that Embiid will be fully healthy for a playoff run.
