Jazz don’t want to trade him unless you give them a lot. It’s like you showing up at my door and saying, “I want to buy your house.” I say, “not really interested, but if you want to pay me a ridiculous amount, I’ll do it. Why do people get upset with what the jazz are asking?
Well, because they are only look stands as a Warriors. They all think the small market team needs to do favor to the big market team. The offer they offered is not even close to the value of a good player, not to say it is far away from Markkanen's value!
Lauri Markkanen would be a great #2 for Steph because all of the space Steph creates. LM was scoring efficiently as the only option on his team he's gonna average 30 with Steph Draymond and Buddy
they don't actually want Kuminga for financial reasons, they only want PODz. Kuminga will command 30 mil next year on a rebuilding Jazz team - that's likely a no thanks from them (same reason they are dealing Lauri). They 're likely asking for Kuminga for leverage reasons knowing dubs wish to keep him, hence more likely to give em more picks and PODz.
We just drafted a younger, albeit much less proven, Markkanen in Quinten Post. Unless Steph wants Markypoo that badly or the Jazz decide to play fair, the team seems set. Side note: Moody is going to be a great 3&D player and we’re all too quick to offer him up.
Your take makes no sense, here Ainge take Moody and some picks we will even throw in Looney and GP. LM is a huge upgrade over what Ainge wants back player wise.
