Nah.
If Lauri was 22 years old and playing like he is then literally not one single person would consider trading Lauri.
I know you were joking but there is a big difference in Key or Ace or sensabaugh or whoever playing like an all star and Lauri playing like an all star.

No **** lol. If Lauri was 22 and playing like this we'd be talking about him being one of the greatest offensive players of all time.

The good thing about trying to win games is that we can see where our true gaps are. If we are going to try and be good next year it is important to understand what holes we need to try and fill in the offseason.

- I love Keyonte, but he's a guy you have to try and hide on defense, and we don't have enough good defenders to do that. We need to put +++ defenders around him and Lauri or we're going to struggle against good offensive teams.
- I love Collier, but if teams scout him at all they'll just play off him. The offense is super rough when he's not surrounded by shooters.
- I love Cody, but the dude clearly needs some more time in the G-League to practice getting shots up. He needs to be taking 18fga/game without any fear of consequences.

I'm shocked that you love Cody.

Exactly. No one wants to trade key after looking like a star. Quite the opposite.

It is about the little things. Cody closing out without fouling. Cody proper rotating on D.

Ya those would be some things that I see that are encouraging which is a nice, but a long way from making him a player that I love.
