@okcenthusiasts@ThunderChats I dont see this happening. We don't have the cap to absorb his salary, so we would have to trade Dort and picks or 2 other guys and picks. Even if they could pull that off, then they couldn't afford to resign Markkanen next year with Chet and Jdub extentions looming.
@LRS_Nation_5@ThunderChats My brother in Christ, no offense, but the Celtics just destroyed everyone on their way to an NBA championship with Jason Tatum being their best rebounder. My guess is Sam Presti is a little better at the GM thing than you are.
@don_lytle@DylanBuckingham Believe it or not, his trade value is not that high anymore die to his age and contract. Still don't want him, though. He's not the piece.
@jeremysportsguy @ursofnfunny @JDodgerO@herzog_rocks Fair enough. I feel like Lauri has consistent effort, which goes a long way. IF DM put forth the effort all the time, he has the skillset to be a lock down defender. Big if, though.
@ursofnfunny @JDodgerO@herzog_rocks Lauri is really good in his own right, and the trade definitely favored the Jazz, but DM is a top defender, and Lauri is a liability on defense. That's the big difference.
