Steal now- Lauri Markkanen

The roster should always be fluid to some degree. If Bojan is 3rd best player you aren’t winning anything. He is a average at best rebounder defender but good shooter.

Also can’t associate Denver beating LAC that Jazz automatically would have as well. Joker is elite and it’s a different match up .

Best teams steal talent jazz should be no different.

And it's not like being young and being competitive don't go together. Boston is in ECF while being one of the leagues youngest team. A 20 yr old Tyler Herro just dropped 37 last night... Its pointless being old and experienced if you can't even stay on the floor or are unavailable for most of the games. If the legend of Ed Davis hasn't taught us enough

I'm not on board with this current "timeline". We need to add young players who can play and grow with DM. So that way if we come up empty again next season and Rudy leaves in the summber it's not the end of the world. Right now its almost like we are preparing to let both Rudy AND Donovan walk in 2021 and start rebuild. Timeline is now for Rudy, yes. But DM still got many years left in his prime. We got lucky the last time around by getting Donovan from the draft after Haywood walk. But as a franchise you gotta always plan for the worst.

Jom, step away from the cliff.

To me it looks like we have all but locked up Mitchell with an extension, plus we added 2 semi-all stars to a team with 2 all stars.

Rebuild is not the tone.

A year ago OKC was still trying to compete for a chip under Westbrook/PG, and now look where they are. Rebuild may not be the tone now, but what about next year? 2022? We have an old roster with full of question marks. DM is the only known factor on this team. And that is the problem. We don't have any other players who we can fully trust to contribute at a high level beyond 2022. We've put everything on the line for season 2020 and 2021 with little flexibility going forward.

I think there’s a diamond in the rough here. I think the bulls prior coaching, team systems and Selfish teammates were failure for him.
However he should have some skin in the game for not developing individually enough. That being said he’s very young and it’s still coming.

Would love the jazz to figure out a way to steal him now before he blossoms. Will at least get to the Porzingis level if put in the right environment.
I have no problem with a pick and Bogdanovic or something like it.

Agreed. Said this month’s ago. Not sure we have the assets though.
 
Lauri is interesting... The Bulls are in a weird middle ground and I wonder what they will do. I think they want to compete now, but I think they may want to have space for the FA derby next year. If they extend Lauri then they likely won't have space.

If the draft a guard are they bringing Dunn back? Coby gonna be a bench player long term? If they draft a big are they shipping out Carter or Lauri?

They have a lot of parts but not enough foundation... couple guys could grow into foundation pieces.

In any case I don't think Lauri would come cheap and I'm guessing they aren't in a big hurry to move him. Had a rough go last season after a very promising 2nd season.

Lauri's ceiling is what Bojan did this year lmfao.

Potential is there. I don’t think I am alone with that opinion . We will see.
However you are way overvalued on Bojan’s impact. He is a poor man’s Kevin Love.

Yeah, I'm not a huge Bogey fan at all, but I dont see Lauri having a better season than what Bogey had this past year on a good playoff team.

Im not calling Lauri bad, but I do think his ceiling is about what Bogey did this year.
