I thought the restriction to trade Lauri has passed?

Yes, let the free throw rate propaganda flow.

I guess the only issue I have with that is that Booker was probably not a good comp for who Booker is, I think that's how @SoberasHotRod put it. It's not impossible for him to be Booker, but everyone looks great picture when you just think about the ceiling and upside. So while it's not...

I'm becoming more warm to the idea of another tank+Lauri season, but it is non-negotiable that Sexton and Collins be gone in exchange. It doesn't matter if we give them away for free, being stubborn is a recipe for disaster.

I agree, and that means he's likely staying. He's definitely not going to get better offers than last summer, so he's not going to be blown away.

Only Ace has a lower FTR than Tre in the top 20+ prospects.

The Suggs deal is what I want. It is front loaded and a team option on the 5th year.

I think that’s the flaw in “don’t overthink it”. It is true that you can find flaws in any player. But there isn’t a set of strengths and weaknesses that qualify as overthinking it and ones that do not. Everyone has their preferences and player types they are drawn to and that’s fine. I think...

I have a preference for Kas’s archetype as well. Generally, i’d just say I’m more skeptical of Tre’s archetype. He’s a great shooter/scorer, but I don’t like much else when it comes to scoring, I also prefer the guys who get the efficient shots more than the guys who make a lot of inefficient...

Sorry, it’s 12% and I have no idea what I was looking at before lol

No he’s 6’3, which is the same as Mitchell who is actually 6’1, which is also the height of Mike Conley except that Mike is really only 6 foot barefoot, similar to Chris Paul who obviously isn’t really 6 foot. So Traore is basically 5’11. Tiny.

Why Brooks Why

Jabari Smith Jr is HORRID

Yeah....the Rockets are going to give MIL the king's ransom for Giannis. They're going to be feeling the disappointment and pressure of higher expectations after getting first rounded.

A $30M salary would be 8.3% of the cap in the last year of a 5 year deal. The MLE that season will be $22.7M. With a front loaded deal, we could get him down to $26.7M. The earlier years of his deal are unlikely to matter cap wise in any significant way. I get having sticker shock, but the cap...

I think there's some recency bias that may be causing some overcorrection. If it was level of competition thing like Demin it would cause me more concern, but his play against top 50 opponents is in line with his overall numbers. The main guys I'm comparing him to are Tre and Fears. Out of those...

Shrinkflation hitting Traore. Measured 6'3.75 barefoot with 6'8 wingspan. Everyone is tiny.

I don’t know if it’s “bold” but Kas is taking the lead for the 5th prospect on my board. I think he’s pretty good on paper, but I also like his film. He plays with great effort and energy.

Also should be noted that Kessler’s cap hold would only be $14M. Lauri is the only guy on the books not on a rookie contract in summer 2026. We could be looking at make a cap space play that season. We would be eating at our cap space, not sure how important that is. The ideal path forward...

Zubac isn’t a fair comparison. He was not as good as Kessler is now back then and was also limited to the amount he could get paid.
