I would be offering to take Gabe Vincent into our capspace for unprotecting that 27 pick.
“Thank you, Los Angeles. . . “
He isn't meeting with the Sixers and Clippers until later tonight/early tomorrow.
It's just a pie in the sky scenario. Philly isn't going to tamper their asses off just for the low possibility of having to offer slightly less than a godfather haul for Lauri.
He’s met with the clippers for 6 months. He knows what’s on the table for these teams.
Sounds like you’ve got it all figured out.
If and when the "Lauri demands a trade to Philly" reports start coming out, you can say "I told you so".
The part I’m mocking is that they don’t have back channels to know exactly what’s going on. I don’t know that Lauri will try to force his way to Philly but as Fisher reported the reason we were in on Bridges is because PG was potentially interested in coming… if he signaled interest in coming here I wonder why that would be… would it be because he would like to play with Lauri… I wonder if there are any back channels those guys could communicate things through? Saying Philly can’t communicate to Lauri their interest here is silly.
His reporting never said PG was interested. It was more that we were trying to make our roster look attractive in an attempt to draw PGs interest.
My dude you don’t put a big offer in on a guy unless you know there is interest… there are ways to signal interest and teams tamper like crazy.
