The Lauri Thread

[Rubashov]

Sending random people to @Rubashov is rude, but in this case, appropriate.

Having ones decency impugned by you two is like being lectured on human rights by Pol Pot.

If the package is everything as Lowe says, then that’s a lot years of picks. A lot can happen over that time. Not sure all the picks would be low first rounders.

Also, can’t we get a third team involved if we want something else but of similar value?

Yes the first thing you would think of is poles and pot.

GSW picks >>>>>> DET picks

I agree in general, but Golden State does seem to have the management and pockets to field a decent team. Detroit has mostly been a bottom feeder for two decades (they've been over .500 twice in the last 18 seasons).

I think I'd still prefer the Golden State picks, but betting against an upstart (but recently **** show) team feels like a good move. Not quite the same, but Beam Team Kings were looking exciting two years ago but are back to being the Kings. Not sold that Detroit is a powerhouse for the next 8 years.

Pockets yes, management no. The Warriors FO members that put together their dynasty run are gone and I think they've completely mismanaged the twilight of Steph's career. The true magic of the Warriors is/was Steph (37) / Draymond (35) / Klay. The Pistons FO has actually been doing a good job recently, and I'd bet on their young talent + Lauri over GSW's core which will retire during the pick window.
