Lauri Markkanen is Not With the Spurs Because He Reportedly “Wanted So Much Money”

[knoxville7]

Please take him. MJ, the gift that keeps on giving

I wonder who we would get in a sign and trade from them? Pj Washington?

I'm fine with a roll of garbage bags

lol right, I just would have to imagine they would want a big man in return for lauri. I don’t really see a good match in a S&T for the bulls with the hornets. I doubt they would give up pj for lauri, but if AKME pull that off, I’ll be stoked. Always liked Washington

I feel bad for Lauri cause he showed so much more that was never honed. Having him bulk up then regulating him to a spot up shooter was just terrible development.

I think Otto Porter was misused. I think Lauri just has no real skill other than jacking up 3s

I said it was “meh”

you now call it ”not bad”

not sure what the difference is between “meh” and “not bad”

you seem to be agreeing with this assessment now

I called it not bad the entire time lol…you responded that in “reality” it is meh

Under Boylen everyone was misused.

I think there is a bballbreakdown video that shows how Special person our offense was under him.

What could Charlotte offer us in a S+T for Lauri?

 

[Master Debater]

Rather try to trade him to Washington. Yeah they got Dinwiddie(sp) but they could use a PG him and White for Deni and a throw in.

Some, okay maybe everyone would hate it on the surface. Im just looking at getting a guy that can play the 3 or 4 and has ball skills in case one of Williams or DeRo misses a period of games and if they dont miss a chunk of games you can use him off your bench.

To be fair, he was pushed into a spot up 3 point shooting role because he’s not very good at creating his own shot. If he has to put the ball down or work in the post, it’s spotty at best. He plays no defense and is generally aloof on the court. You have it deep down or you don’t

Maybe we could bring in a third team with something they want, or just get a protected first.

 

[JoJoBoxer]

its pretty “meh” actually in reality.

He did say "not bad". "Meh" is meh, not bad.

Or a protected third? Or that box of garbage bags if they are two-ply?

 

[Axl Rose]

Spurs would have been a good spot for him. I feel they are one of the few teams that could save his career. Not so sure about Hornets and definitely not the Pelicans.

 

[knoxville7]

He did say "not bad". "Meh" is meh, not bad.

he also said, “certainly better than meh.” But it’s not that important to dwell upon

100% this

If Finnisher isn’t hitting threes he’s useless.

If AK really wants a first for him, good luck.

I think San Antonio is the ultimate fit for him, or Utah but he would be bench mob in Utah.

he may have cost himself tens of millions by not auditioning in San Antonio.

put him next to Bam or Gobert and his flaws disappear.

Let’s not get crazy. He’d still be ridiculously flawed but I guess his flaws would be more tolerated as a one dimensional, soft, spot up shooting stretch 4/5.

Realistically there is no reason anyone should want him on their roster. The only thing he is is a decent shooter. I'm sure most clubs can find a big than can shoot and also has some other good quality.
