Lauri playing really well

yep. Trading him and/or Zach right now would be a mistake imo

 

[wonky73]

Dear god just put this terrible team away...

Why - is this team going to contend for a title within the contract periods for those two?

If not - they gots to go!

A Knicks fan I am guessing.

Keep Zach but I’m not buying Lauri as a top 3 guy on a contender and he’s due a contract. Let someone else overpay for him and trade him while his value is high. Still atrocious defensively and plays extremely soft for a 7 footer

 

[Master Debater]

they did it, they won a home game it is possible

 

[Master Debater]

I think he’s a 60 something from Elgin

37. I know, shocker right? A millennial that isn't a dipshit cum guzzling shit stain. Well actually most born before 1990 arent its almost everyone born after 1990 thats a completely useless tool bag. Exceptions do apply

I clearly did not read the schedule,

so you just recycle players over and over till you draft a Batman type? I’d rather keep the #2 and #3 scoring options to hopefully attract a #1 to want to play here

It's hard for me to believe Lauri is shooting 41% on 3's. Everytime I watch he is jacking up bricks. To me he contributes very little to the team. He doesn't rebound well, is awful on defense, doesn't pass well, can't really create his own shot, is mediocre at best in the post. All he does is shoot 3's pretty well. On nights his shots isn't dropping he is a black hole. He is a guy that would be much better as like a stretch 4 off the bench for a contender. If they can get any value for him, I'd move him in a heartbeat.

did you watch last nights game? Lauri was not just sitting at the 3 point line taking 3’s all game. It was aggressive lauri. Taking it to the rim lauri. When he plays like that, he is a difference maker. And that’s coming from someone who has been extremely critical of him for the same reasons you mentioned.

I didn't turn it on until the second half. I missed his production

Because ZL and LM are not good enough to be 2 of the 3 top players on a title team. They play below-average D which explains their poor +/- stats.

I agree with your premise, I am merely acknowledging those two are assets which should be monetized to best serve the long-term interests of the team.

I get ya. I just don’t find many nba players play much D anymore anyways. So I feel like you’ll always struggle to find stars that actually play defense anymore.

I just don't think Lauri is that much of a difference maker. He's terrible defensively and his effort/aggression/testicular fortitude seems to vary game by game. He's weak in the post, both offensively and defensively and he's not that great at creating his own shot. Against better defenses and defenders, he's not a guy that's going to really do much damage on his own. He's very similar to Niko in that regard. I would rather trade him for a 1st rounder or perhaps a PG or even wing player then have to pay him a contract that probably exceeds his actual on court value.

if that’s his value, then there’s no reason to think bulls would get a 1st rounder for him, though
