Yeah I was thinking about starting a thread about this. I'm guessing they have some sort of plan in place but I have no clue what it is. This team has some nice pieces but still needs a lot of work.

If we are going to make any trades we would have to trade LM while his value is sky high
It was the ball boy lmao.

Let’s see. I think Chicago is a paper tiger. Next 4 should tell us a lot.

There is likely nobody that has anything that could give us value enough for Lauri at this point. I mean if the prices are low, maybe we make a play for Sabonis and screw that draft pick entirely.
Yeah, I'm not saying Morant but if someone like his star power is available, maybe it's time to take a look.
My memory sucks dude
this. we're ****ed
We're making the play in as the 10, winning the first game, losing the second game, winning the lottery.
Trading for Sabonis seems like a really bad idea, but I don't know, maybe I've unfairly categorized him as a losing player.
But Im also kind of not joking about Sabonis.
I think Sabonis/Lauri could be the best offensive duo in the NBA. Yes, the defense would likely suck, but it'd be a fun team.
Hell maybe even Sabonis/Walker could play together in the same way Houston plays Sengun/Adams.
If the price is dirt cheap, I wouldnt rule it out. Contract wise you can get to Sabonis's number with Nurkic/Anderson/Hendricks.
I guess my devil's advocate position would be: Would we rather give OKC the 9th-13th pick, or just try to be good and give them like 16th-20th.
IDK, I'm kind of torn now. If Lauri is going to average 30+ that probably puts him in the "too good to tank with" category of star player. I mean, we are even playing Cody Williams 10-20 MPG that last 4 games and he isnt totally wrecking us. We might be in trouble. I might turn into @NUMBERICA
