Does Lauri Get Traded?

Does Lauri Get Dealt Before The Season Starts?

I was trying to work through a GSW deal and comparing it to the Bridges packages, let me know if I'm totally off base here.

The Warriors can trade these first round picks:

25 swap
26 unprotected
27 unprotected
28 unprotected
29 swap
31 swap

Packaging 26 and 28 makes a lot of sense, otherwise you only get one of those picks. I would say 26 and 28 are fairly equivalent to NYK 25 and 27....you could argue they are a bit better. 29 and 31 swaps are obviously not full picks, but you could argue they are as valuable as NYK 29 and 31 unprotected because GSW is a much older team and in a worse spot for those years.

Is it fair to say these two packages are roughly equivalent?

GSW
26 unprotected
28 unprotected
29 swap
31 swap

NYK
25 unprotected
27 unprotected
29 unprotected
31 unprotected

BKN also got MIL's 2025 first rounder (protected 1-4). Not the greatest pick, but it's something. They also got a 2028 swap with NYK....which might be something. IMO, while Lauri is a better player than Bridges I do not think he has the same trade value being on a 1 year deal. Also, Bridges was overrated. Let's cautiously say these two picks are the difference between Lauri and Bridges.

Would you trade Lauri for the 2 GSW picks and 2 GSW swaps?

Now lets talk about Kuminga, Moody, Podz, and TJD. Kuminga I think is easily worth 2 FRP if Avdija was. Podz is probably worth at least a good 1st rounder, Moody and TJD a bit less but probably at least a first. Would you want to substitute any picks? I would want Kuminga, but GSW might want to keep him through all of this. Let's assume they are willing to toss him in for Lauri....

1) Is this package totally off base (using Bridges as a reference point), if not what is needed to balance.
2) Would you trade Lauri for this package, if not what is needed to balance.

Kuminga
Payton
29 swap
31 swap

There's zero chance I'd even consider an offer from GS without Kuminga.

Give me:
Kuminga
Pods
Moody
2026 1st
2028 1st
2029 swap

Mikal was overrated AF around the league (which increased his trade value) and is on a long term deal. I agree that Lauri is a better player, does not mean he has more trade value.

Bridges has two years left, Markkanen has one. A year absolutely makes a difference, but not that much.

This picks coming back in a possible Markkanen trade will with 97% certainty be far from as valuable as our own picks the next two years without him on the team will be. The picks the Nets got from the Knicks pale in comparison to the ones they got back from Houston.

If we trade Lauri, we will get some nice stuff back. I will be extremely surprised though if what we get back turn out to be even close to as valuable as our 2025 and 2026 picks.

It makes a significant difference, and even if they were on the exact same contract Bridges is probably on par with Lauri as far as his league wide perception. Like I said, I personally believe Lauri is a better player. But people were acting as if Bridges was the greatest thing singed sliced bread.

The Knicks also will have more confidence in eventually resigning Bridges than any other team for Lauri. He wanted to be there, they are in NYC, and all his former teammates are there.

The other stuff is a different conversation entirely. I’m just saying, don’t expect more from a Lauri trade than a Bridges trade. My post wasn’t discussing if we should Lauri, it’s discussing what we would get in trade if we did.

Kind of off the trade wagon currently, but Spurs could be spicy

Getting the 2025 unprotected Hawks picks could be spicy if we're going full force for the Flagg/Bailey/Harper sweepstakes. Beyond that they have some protected Bulls/Hornets picks next year (probably won't convey), their own picks, and some decent young prospects
 
Spur 2025 from Atlanta is pure gold.

2025 from Chicago top 10 protected kind of gold too since they are known for being in the middle, so you will probably get a pick 11-18 in the next year or three.

2027 from Atlanta is again gold.

The Minnesota 2031 is gold.

The only thing that makes me hesitate on a strong Spurs offer is that we are giving the Spurs a super team.
 
If I was someone who still bet, I would bet money on the Spurs.

They want to win with Pop and Pop might not be around for more than 4 years.
 
Guys!!! Nothing has changed!!!! Lolz
 
I love Lauri and Sexton, but the right call is to turn them over into young players / picks. We have a bright future as this young group develops, but that is 3-5 years out.
 
I think the Minnesota deal w/ SAS was a clear signal SAS is loading up for a Lauri (or some other dude) trade.
