Philon's shot looks a lot better this year, shooting 38% on 5.3attempts is a big jump from last year.

It looks like Yaxel had a good game. Moving Mara to the bench helped him a lot I think.
That's not how I would phrase it, at all. In any scenario our most likely draft positioning will be 5+. Trading Lauri increases our odds at a top 3 pick, but far from guarantees it. Trading Lauri should certainly guarantee we get a pick in the 5-8 range though, whereas if we keep Lauri and continue to play it straight there is a real chance we lose the pick altogether.
I also wouldn't consider anyone in this draft generational, at least not yet. I also think it's too early to really say what the next tier is like. It looks very good, but I don't think it's first tier in a normal draft good.
Say we keep Lauri and decide to run it with baby Ace, Bambi Brown, cool hand keynote, and the rest of the band of merry men… our window is 31 - 34 year old Lauri as the youngsters figure it out? Is Lauri good enough to take us to the promised land? I guess it gives us a shot before ace and the 5 - 8 pick decide to leave for the big city lights in 6 years.
Mikel Brown is nice, but he's extremely redundant to Keyonte.
If we trade Lauri now I think we could definitely have a bottom 3 record meaning we would have a 40.1% chance at a top 3 pick and a 100% chance at keeping our pick.
If we don't trade Lauri it's more difficult to predict, but for now I'm going to say we end up with the 7th worst record. That would mean we would have a 23.4% chance at a top 3 pick and an 85.8% chance at keeping our pick.
So by Trading Lauri we can increase our chance at a potentially franchise changing player by 16.7% and increase our chance at a very good player by 14.2%.

If we trade Lauri we going to be tanking for 3 more years. No ****ing thanks.
Cody's lack of confidence in his shot definitely seems to limit his upside to D only. Taylor though, I think its too early yet. Give him time to regain form and then we'll see. It is concerning that he seems to have gone backward on his motor...
I don't think this is necessarily true, it's probably putting a delay on the playoff run though. If we trade Lauri, I think we'd be about where CHO is currently. We don't trade Lauri and we're more similar to where POR is.
