Well, I don't like pickles on my burgers. I don't really care if anyone else does. But based on our last conversations if you like pickles on your burgers you as the almighty decider of what people enjoy, it must mean I do not enjoy burgers at all.

Not really at all man but go on and live your life and do what you want. Not sure why you are trying to rekindle this nonsense.

I think there was a lot of potential to get him at different times....maybe he wouldn't have blossomed the same way, but I think he would have been great next to Mitchell. He's a second action type of guy. Just based on his interviews and past (Boylen victim) I think what he needed most was the confidence.

I dont even think it was confidence. I think he has always had that.. and that has helped him overcome Boylen etc.

My theory is that he was just too quiet and humble of a personality type. He lacked the swagger and blended into the crowd of mediocrity.

Weren't we thinking Sexton was the larger (player) acquisition in the trade?

I doubt there was consensus one way or another. I wasn't sure what to think of Lauri and may have trended that way but can't recall.

I'm really trying to decide on what I want for lunch. You decided whether or not I enjoy basketball, so I thought you might also decide what I might enjoy for lunch. But if you got no recommendations I guess I'll just have to decide for myself what kind of food I enjoy.

He's pretty open about Boylen ruining his confidence. I also think he was capable of doing more in CLE, but he was sort of resigned to a role as that team was already set in place. He did get a lot better in other aspects of his game in CLE, however.

I think being on a team with no expectations has helped him....but I also think a lot of credit has to go to Hardy and how he's using him. It's a great partnership. If Quin was coaching Lauri on the old team, he could have very well been planted in a corner and not moving off the ball.

If you told us you hate burgers and fries we are going to assume you don’t like In-N-Out or Whataburger or Five Guys.
 
This LM appreciation thread, it would be nicer to appreciate him without random pillow boxing on burger taste and other likings, you know.

With all respect.

Whatever you pick I know you will whine dramatically about how ****** it is... then go back for a second order.
