It was probably leaked, a rumor, it doesn’t matter who said it. It’s already out there and it’s buzzing. Jazz FO phone should be getting calls as we speak. Even if da told Lauri to buy a house would you trust him? We are in the era of lying doesn’t matter, trophy does.
Compared to start of the season His first step looked a lot quicker last night. Was able to get to his spots at ease and had one very explosive dunk.
The ************ said 5 first. That's a ******** of confidence
No he isnt, but Danny isnt looking for that many either. Five picks is the manufacturers reference price, not the market price.
He's not
OKC would pay 4. One of them might be our own but I’m very confident that if we asked for like Dieng, our own pick back and 3 additional firsts it would be a done deal.
If Danny or someone in the org said 5 firsts that is a call to OKC basically. I don’t know that they care about volume as much as quantity. The GS deal I outlined earlier would technically be 2 firsts and 2 swaps but the quality is good enough imo to make a move if you want. Some folks count swaps as picks too… so the accounting can vary a bit.
Lauri's been playing well again this season. He got injured and was out for a while and then on limited minutes but looked good last night. Compared to the last season, we haven't seen him cut through the paint for dunks nearly as much because our guards can't read these plays and can't make the passes. If you go back and look how Conley did it (often with bounce passes), you see where we are lacking at the moment. Also, Lauri has to run around much more because there's always someone on him and chasing him. But he seems to be handling it pretty well as he's fast enough to shake his defenders off. We just don't have guards who can find him. If Danny ends up keeping Lauri, I'm pretty sure finding a more experienced and capable point guard will be on top of his list. I have high hopes with Key, but it will take more time with him.
