I feel like he is too good to be playing for the Jazz, he has now finally shown everyone what hes about and what hes capable of. What team would make the most sense for him and why
Like for free?
Uuuh yeah
Yes, he’s my dream trade option for the Pels right now.
Yes
He’s only 26. Jazz can tank a few years and keep him no problem. Then they can compete while still getting picks from Wolves and Cavs
that’s almost as old as franchise cornerstone Terance Mann
He’ll be a free agent in 2025 and having never gotten a max contract he’s definitely going to be big game hunting. I doubt Utah would be ready to contend by then simply because Markkanen makes them too good to truly tank but not good enough for a playoff spot. It makes way more sense for them to trade him before his last year of his current deal starts.
if they’re still tanking by 2025 something’s gone wrong. Ainge cant just kick the can down the road forever
Would trade Randle for him in a heartbeat
Yes, obviously.
The only way Utah trades Lauri is if Lauri asks to be traded.
Utah has a shit ton of picks. Utah is more likely to make a trade for a disgruntled star to pair with Lauri than the other way around.
Utah was a Cinderella story early last season. What happened to that magic?
The winning role players were traded give more minutes to tank commanders.
Kings please and thank you.
Fox Lauri Domas
There is not a single team in the universe that woud not like to have lauri
I don’t see a spot for him on the Wolves, except as a 6th man, which would be quite the waste. Technically everyone would want him, but not every team could use him?
Mpj for Lauri???
Probably not for us since we’re already paying a lot out for bigs, and the team needs a great backup point guard (preferably someone young to develop and eventually take over the reigns from Conley after this or next season) much more than a star PF (KAT already fills that role).
He’s an incredible player though, I think the Kings, Thunder or Pacers could be really fun with him on the team though. I think he’d fit really nicely with Tyrese.
Feels somewhat same for the magic. Lauri is great, but doesn’t fit the current roster construction.
Obviously
sigh
Yes.
looks outside the window, wondering what could have been
I am glad you think my team exists just to be feed your team all stars for second round picks and a bag of chips.
Jazz and Timberwolves have more than Rudy in common. Though the “when will Ant ask to leave” talk has been quited this year so far.
If okc somehow keeps Chet sga and jdub they’re contenders.
