How are you arguing this. Yes, we traded our to top players in favor of a rebuild. We luck into an all nba caliber player and what? We going to trade him and start over AGAIN!! One year later?? We’d be the laughingstock of the NBA. Star players don’t exactly grow on trees. We were gifted a franchise player to jump start our rebuild and have assets to add a star or several really good players to add to Markkanen and Kessler. There is zero reason to talk trading Lauri unless a Booker, or Giannis is involved.BTW… it’s not weird to talk trading Lauri… we traded Rudy and Don last year… it’s been a “sports radio” type thing thrown out… it’s simply a what if… it has a low likelihood of happening and if it did I’m somewhat convinced most would agree with the decision. My guess is it would be #3 pick plus some other stuff if Ainge was compelled to complete the deal. I doubt Portland would overpay… but that’s what it would take… and it’s a scenario that could materialize… like a 2-3% type of scenario.
Ideally we could find a way to get #3 without Lauri or Kessler.
