Yeah so….AK is officially a dunce
Lauri was always awful with no signs of not being awful until this year. I'll let that one slide.AK:
Lost the Vuc deal
Picked Williams over Halliburton
Signed a PG with no knees to 20 mil per season
Extended a coach that should be fired
Signed Zach to a max deal without exploring S&T options
Bounced Lauri the GOAT outta town
Traded a 25 top 10 protected first for DeMar DeRozan
That’s about as rough as it gets. Pretty much guaranteed he’s going to stick with this lackluster group of underachievers and the Magic are going to get another top 10 pick for a player that the Bulls shouldn’t even re-sign. Oof
Yeah, not to mention everyone on here was ready to trade him for a basketball. AKME at least got a real asset of some kind in return for Lauri, which at the time everyone here thought was impossible to doLauri was always awful with no signs of not being awful until this year.

I've been tellin y'all, there is no hope for this teamMeet the new boss same as the old boss. Billy should have been fired after the season at the latest. Why would you re-sign him before the season with 2 years left on his deal and after a very poor ending to last season?
This leads me to believe that we are going to re-sign Vuc too ?
Awful is hyperbole. Disappointing based on expectations? Sure….but his last season in Chicago he postedLauri was always awful with no signs of not being awful until this year. I'll let that one slide.
I'm going to stick with terrible. Mostly because I hated him a lot, feel free to take my words as fact.Awful is hyperbole. Disappointing based on expectations? Sure….but his last season in Chicago he posted

That’s not remotely close to awful. Amazing? No…but it wasn’t even his best season in Chicago.

I mean…I hate Lauri the player but he’s def rosterable. He has a role in the league but it’s a very limited one with the right team. Thankfully, it’s not the bulls. Hated watching that guy
That’s fine…I think a lot of people were frustrated too. He also misses consistent time throughout his career. That said, he really flashed his 2nd season and there was always a decent change that AK could regret the move, and right now that’s the case. Utah has a good coach and a good FO and Lauri is flourishing (still only 25 I believe).I'm going to stick with terrible. Mostly because I hated him a lot, feel free to take my words as fact.
if you’re gonna knock AKME for being wrong, gotta knock yourself too then
I refuse to be mad about moving on from lauri. I have no faith in him to sustain his play for multiple seasonsThat’s fine…I think a lot of people were frustrated too.

Basically AKME decided to cut the youth movement short and move on from Lauri/WCJ and push his chips in with vets like Vuc/DeMar. On the surface it made sense, but he hired a weak coach and it probably should have dawned on him that a starting lineup of 3 weak defenders (Vuc, LaVine, DeMar) is going to struggle defensively. Bad perimeter D is bad enough but bad perimeter D and no rim protector or a guy with lateral quickness is a recipe for disaster

No, it has more to do with your acting as though it was some obvious mistake and acting like you knew Lauri would become a good player.Yes, unfortunately I don’t get paid millions of dollars to do this professionally and amazingly am wrong about a lot of things lol One day I’ll be omnipotent though

Trading Lauri isn’t one of AKME’s mistakes. You’re just playing captain hindsight
