Lauri is like the 100th %ile outcome of an off the ball big forward that can cut, shoot, come off screens, and score in post against mismatches.
He’s very good.
Trading away a walking top-5 defense with an insane ceiling for a non-star, non self-creator, while also paying him 46/49/53 million dollars, while also completely pivoting away from defensive identity to run a Lauri/Duren frontcourt (bottom 10 defense incoming) would be catastrophic.
@MCB_johnverburg@OPSenheimer Everyone you mentioned and possibly Moises Rodriguez? It concerns me how few arms in the system are even worth considering protecting.
Win or lose for the Pistons I hope the @NBA addresses the flopping problem…
Not only is it the Cavaliers but the Thunder make a living off of it.
It will be hard to continue watching the playoffs after my team is out because of it… 🤷🏼♂️
@MCB_johnverburg Yes - anticipating another season of dominating the MWL. Have to think Callahan, Penney, Strong, Hadeen return initially plus Rainer. Guys like Warwick and Rucker arriving midsummer. Will be another fun roster!
