Does Danny Ainge address Paul George or Milal Bridges? You are making things up at this point. Teams are rumored for players all the time and don't address them.

Lol. Ok so now GS and Utah fishbowls are comparable? And apparently guys like Woj and Windy are spreading flimsy rumors that you dont need to be addressed?

The reporters are gonna keep asking them about it constantly as long as they are not giving some kind of resolution.

And Utah is the one leaking as they are the ones with a vested interest in creating the appearance of a competitive bidding market

Woj was the first to mention it and said "Warriors are gonna go for him aggressively" and Monte Poole was the one who said Lauri is their #1 target.

Neither would do that based on Jazz feeding them. Poole seems like a water carrying guy.

But sure, keep digging.

I still maintain that the Spurs package is the prize and everything Utah does with GSW is to put pressure on the Spurs.

Could be. If we're negotiating in the media, we're playing it right.

I probably value Kuminga more than most living here in the Bay Area. He made a hell of a leap last season and is still just scratching the surface. IMO, he's an immediate 20+ ppg guy for us next year, and the athletic prototype for a modern-day wing. All-NBA potential if the shooting improves.

Keyonte, Cody, and Kuminga with a tidal wave of future draft capital is a fun core to build around.

The Heat have apparently entered the chat, according to Lowe.

This is how you know the reporting of trade rumors is highly questionable. Most likely this gets reported as Miami, along with reportedly 20 other teams inquired about Lauri. A team can report that they picked up the phone even if the conversation was never going to go anywhere to assuage their fanbase and look like they are trying to do something.

This is modus operandi for any GM worth his weight in 4th of July Nathan's Hot Dogs. It's about driving up value on existing offers, and does make think we're looking to deal Lauri sooner rather than later if Danny-boy is indeed pushing this.

My post was suggesting that this is being pushed by the Heat, not DA. This rumor specifically does more for the Heat in PR, than it does for DA, since leaking the Heat are interested with minimal assets does nothing to push the price up for us.
