Per trillbrodude on his you know ball podcast… OKC offered Dort/3 picks/and a swap for Lauri at the deadline. We said no. No detail on which picks. It was from a Twitter source he has that has given him intel before. Makes sense but take it with a grain of salt.

Seems like an insulting offer to me unless they were the 3 best picks they had

Do you think we should have done that trade if it was real?

It depends on if that was the whole deal. I’d also want Dieng. I’d also want to know what we could flip Dort for… I’d also want to know what picks. If it was the clips picks and one of the far out swaps and we got something good for Dort… the. It’s close-ish enough to counter offer… not quite enough to pull the trigger.
 
If there is actually truth to this then I would guess that Presti takes another shot at Lauri this offseason with a different offer. He has clearly envisioned Lauri with SGA, Jalen and Chet so I would guess losing to the mavs because of a lack of another good big has to peak his interest even more.

If we are trading Lauri then we should get the pick back but it only counts as half a first. I bet the offer was centered on the Clips picks… if it was a thing.

I think he’s a tad overrated, but Dort is held in super high regard. He might in the Caruso/OG role player territory where it takes 3 FRP to get him.

It’s tough to judge without knowing the picks….but that’s a decent amount of stuff. Let’s say Dort is only worth 2 FRP. 5 FRP and a swap? I feel like that’s close. The only difference is that instead of getting Dort from OKC I would have them pay me in premium picks. I’m sure they would like to keep Dort around for their playoff runs.
