The Hawks pick is valuable, but not that valuable. The Hawks as construed are an easy play in team, and may make the playoffs. So if they lose in the play in you have a 10% chance you get lucky in the lottery and even without that the 9th pick or so is good in 2025. If SA wanted Lauri, they would need to give up both Atlanta picks, probably 2 SA first, AND players. Honestly trying to make a deal with Danny Ainge is insane. I'd fire my GM if he told me h was making a deal with Danny, because you now you are going to lose any trade badly as Danny has no interest in making fair deals
Lauri to the spurs has always made a ton of sense. The only question is what goes back to Utah. Imho, Utah will want, at least, one young player with upside, in addition to a large amount of draft assets. Also, Lauri has ALOT more trade value around the league than Ingram, and it’s not particularly close.
The Spurs would be nice. And I think Jazz don't want players back. Danny ainge wants Larry Bird 2.0 aka Cooper flagg. ATL pick + tanking= two chances at the #1 pick
@@riccardo_7973 DARK HORSE, BUT I LOVE IT! they have young players to trade away, but they really have all their picks. very nice move for them to make
its a little bit sad that americans covering the sport in the media are not capable of saying what the problem with the fouls is - when the offensive player is searching the contact its not a defense foul - that easy
@@hardywoodaway9912 Honestly? Really? Honestly, I think you do know that I'm saying it doesn't matter where they go, because they can't beat a healthy Grizzlies team, unless it's Boston maybe
@@HyugaVault Why teddy bear fans so delusional when they haven't proved any sht, mavs w/o klay or the nuggets w/o jamal are sweeping the memphis teddies🧸💇🔫🔫🧹🧹
@@user-go1dchain I can't take you seriously. Give me any evidence says the Mavs or Nuggets are better than the Grizzlies. Because they're healthy? And did you just say without Klay like he's gonna do something??? 🤣🤣🤣
What is OKC waiting for?!? They have so many picks. Enough to fill up 2 more teams. They can’t keep them all. Time to cash in some chips and make a run.
And then they blow up the team in 2 years because they can't afford anyone. Lauri would be good in OKC, but not a 45 million a year good. Put Markkenen in OKC and he is basically the player he was in Cleveland/Chicago, because he becomes the 4th option, basically just hanging outside and shooting 3s
@@mikesteinkrauss9773 Markkenan is better than Jdub and Chet right now. Jdub is all theoretical potential. Chet is inconsistent scoring the ball. Markkenan can come in and be the 2nd scorer immediately and there would be no debate
@@derekbrown3447 Markkenen has already shown that when on a team with other competent NBA players around him he is a 15-16 PPG guy. In Utah with no one around him, and the entire offense geared to go to him as the #1 option he has been a 24 PPG guy. JDub put up 19 a game last year and probably gets up to 22 a night this year. Chet put up 16.5 as a rookie, and might get to around 20 this year. Which of Chet or JDug are you willing to lose in 2 seasons if you are paying Lauri 45 million plus?
@@mikesteinkrauss9773 Markkenan has proven he can put up 25 against the best defender each night. Jdub has proven that he lacks an offensive game that translates to the playoffs as of now. You are projecting improvement, which makes sense, but is still unproven. Markkenan raises the ceiling for OKC's offense and gives them another big that can next to Chet or Hartenstein. All they have to do is give up 5 of their 20 1st rd picks and maybe Wiggins and big Jdub to match salary
@@derekbrown3447 Sp you are criticizing JDub for an Age 22 playoff season where he averaged 18.7 pts, 6.8 rebounds, 5.4 assists, and 1.7 steals. While 27 year old Lauri Markkenen has never played in a postseason game.
