Can’t you agree in principle to the trade and have them pick the guy we want?

I cant see that happening that far out. Would take a lot of trust between the two GMs

I thought the restriction to trade Lauri has passed?

I'm pretty sure Lauri can be traded as soon as the season is over.

No, it has to be a year since his sign date.

I thought it was 6 months, which is why there was an opportunity to extend and get traded this year before the deadline. But Lauri decided to sign a day later. That made him ineligible through the trade deadline, but not necessarily the summer.

It's was Locke said a podcast or two ago and what I remember being reported when he signed it. Could be wrong.

I'm 99% sure it's 6 months, hence the big deal about him signing a day later to make sure he couldn't be traded by the deadline.

According to this if a player signs a super max they can't be traded for a year, so maybe that is how Locke got confused.

Seems you are right.

MIL playing without a point guard and finally took Kuzma out of the starting lineup. All of a sudden they can play defense.

That was such a a horrendous trade

Yes it was. I'm not sure what they were thinking.

I still don’t know how WAS was able to get picks for quality (albeit washed) players in Middleton and Smart. Helped us get the number one tank spot, so I’m not complaining.

Man, it would be soooo funny if Detroit beat this star studded NY team.

Goes to show you don't actually need stars to win in the NBA.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

So Jokic can't be MVP anymore after that game, right?

It was mostly in jest, but just a reminder game that Jamal Murray can play like an elite player at times.

Denver actually has an amazing starting 4 outside of Jokic. Their depth is just the pitts.

And to be fair, it was about as bad of a triple double performance as there is.
You made a good retort to the SGA criticisms from early in the OKC series and I should have just kept my mouth shut.

Postseason doesn't count towards MVP voting.

Surprised you don't already know that.

Funny thing is, Detroit proved that once before in winning a ring with a cast of solid players and no superstars.
