Does Lauri want out?

Interesting stuff from Cowley:

Player breakdowns: Forward Lauri Markkanen and the front-office dilemma

With the NBA season still up in the air, the Sun-Times will look at all the Bulls, the seasons they had and the upcoming seasons they could have, in Chicago or elsewhere. Next up is Markkanen and how the latest front-office news will impact his stay long term.

Lauri was a building block, then they sign Thad Young and Kornet to his position and do not run plays for him when he is in the game.
Eager for new front office guys, no doubt, but what is it gonna be 4 years to turn this roster over?

Thad was signed to help guard on the perimeter. Then they realized he can no longer do that. Kornet was never meant to be a threat to anyone. Lauri has been bad. So I'm not too sure why anyone should really be surprised that he's had minutes taken away from him. Whether it has to do with Boylen or not, the fact of the matter is that Lauri has just played bad.

It's perfectly reasonable to think that Lauri might not get back to where he was his rookie year. It's also perfectly reasonable to think that by the time the Bulls are (hopefully) contending for a championship that Lauri is nowhere near this roster.

What I'm completely floored by is this idea that Lauri holds some kind of leverage over anyone. Who the fuck does he think he is?

I am willing to give Lauri another chance under a new coach. I am not going to judge any player by their performance under LOL Jim Boylen's reign of incompetence.

Yep. And the whole stack of idiots in the FO.

But here's the thing. Lauri has back issues, so IDGAF if we keep him or not. As much as he can shoot, the white channing frye is not a key piece of a championship team at the price tag he is going to demand after all this publicity the Bulls put into him.

Does anyone like Boylen?

 

[dreadpirateroberts]

I’m sure Lauri won’t be the only player who will express their displeasure about Boylen towards Karnisovas.

Who would want to play for a coach who calls a timeout in a losing blowout in the last minute of the game?

Supposed to have a great following with the immigrants, so Laurie should feel right at home. I think the brothers are the ones that should be wanting to leave now.
