The Non-Jazz NBA Thread in the Jazz Section

Who is worth more, Bane or Lauri? Bane is cheaper by about $8 - $10 million per year. Lauri is a way more unique archetype.

I don't know. Lauri has zero postseason basketball experience, no one knows how he will fare there. Besides, as @Saint Cy of JFC already posted, money is a thing.

I don't think Bane has performed all that notably in the playoffs.

Windy mentioned that a pick and a half was to get off the KCP contract. So Bane’s value should be looked at as more in the 2-3 FRP range.

I didnt watch Magic a lot last year. Is KCP really that cooked?

Its weird that a dude who has been a starter and key role player for two different championship teams in the past 5 years is suddenly toxic at 22M per year with such a short deal.

KCP just had a down year in Orlando, he was supposed to fix all the shooting problems they were having and complement the core players. I am of the belief that Orlando needed to fundamentally shift what they were doing offensively. They had one of the worst offenses in the league last year. But trading for Bane is doubling down on Paolo/Franz ballhandling and playmaking. Now more than ever, the team goes as far as Paolo develops. Its an all in bet.

It's wild how long the Thunder have Aaron Wiggins under contract for poverty wages

RIP NBA. The Lakers now have ownership with unlimited pockets and smart/analytically inclined.

Luck the Fakers man.

The conspiracy theories on Luka and the draft are on meth now. If ever there was a conspiracy theory that was true... this is what it would look like.

I'm being totally serious. Was the Luka trade a +$1 Billion move for the Buss fam?
