@andyblarsen@Tjonesonthenba I agree, but do you think they did completely tank last year because the draft was so weak? In 2023 it was weak other than Wemby and Miller as well.
@hansenjames What if Lauri has surgery on his shoulder and is out most of the year? Think of Shai and OKC 2 years ago. I think Flagg and Ace will both be better than Lauri, but that isn't a for sure thing. Also, Lauri is still getting better. We both want the same thing...~0-82.

@hansenjames I agree with most of your takes, but I think we can keep Lauri, and hopefully have him sit out most of the year like the thunder did with Shae. I think Lauri is around a top 20 player, and those are really hard to come by. I also think that he hasn't hit his ceiling yet.
@BatmanBYU@MarkW_E01 And with pick 32 he probably won't even end up being a rotation player, but you can find Fontecchios on the open market all the time. Filipowski in borderline lottery talent, and the unknown is more valuable than a Fontecchio.
