Does Lauri Get Traded?

[Handlogten's Heros]

Warriors may end up playing the part of the Knicks in this negotiation.

 

[Elizah Huge]

We can pay him $42 million and are nowhere near the salary floor so we should just pay him. No point in being misers about this.

Sorry I misunderstood the wording you used.

Sorry I misunderstood the wording you used.

Yeah, I’m emphasizing the renegotiate part.

 

[TheStormofWar]

Apparently the Pelicans have entered the chat.

I would give him the max this year if it meant taking some off the later years.

I don’t think GSW will include Kuminga. I think the owner loves him like a son or something weird…

Include Jordan Clarkson then, an owner's love for an owner's love.

Warriors won 46 games in a season that saw Green go crazy and Steph stay healthy. If the lose CP3, Klay, Podz, Moody and add Lauri and Melton how many games do they win assuming Steph only misses 5-10 games and Green the same. If they are healthy they are firmly 50 wins... if Steph or Lauri miss 25 games... then what.

If Steph goes down for any significant amount of time they are in the bottom 5 of the west. If they are offering Podz, Moody and 4 unprotected 1sts then we need to make it happen before they second guess themselves.

Exactly... and he's at a point in his career where a big injury means he might be done as a top 5-10 player. I get that there are other picks that might be better... I think the Warriors picks are a very solid bet on father time.

Far greater shot at getting Lauri than Golden State if they actually want him.

They arent offering that.

 

[Coach Ellis]

Are Jazz going to have enough roster spots for Podz, Moody, Kuminga

Yes. Its easy to get there.

^that's how you do it, right?

There is absolutely no way that they are/aren’t including that in the trade right now though.

Here's how I would rank the teams most likely to have Lauri to start the season (only including teams that have had a legitimate source name them as interested)

1. Utah
2. New Orleans
3. Houston
4. San Antonio
5. Sacramento
6. Golden State
7. Minnesota

To what end? We're going to ask for the moon because Lauri's the best player on earth but we're going to pay him less than that? I don't see the upside.

Just pay the dude (unless the matter of "savings" is tangibly important).

Locked on Kings host says he knows for a fact that San Antonio, Sacramento, and Golden State have all submitted offers for Lauri.

We’re asking for the moon because we absolutely have all the leverage and don’t have to trade him. Plus look what Mikal Bridges who is a worse player just went for.

Per sources, Keegan, Kuminga, and Vassell are off the table at the moment.

Are we there yet?
