Yeah, I remember him on the Iowa Wolves. I originally thought this was an old post when it popped up on my feed lol

The thing I don't get is why would we trade our remaining assets in the draft if we really wanted Lauri. Now we're down to Jaden as the only asset we could trade to Utah. It just doesn't make sense.

Maybe Markennen's agent is the person who started the rumor. There was interest in him previously

The Wolves' big trade this offseason was for Rob Dillingham. I believe the Jazz started this rumor to drum up a big market. If we were looking for a big trade, rumors would've started weeks before the draft, not during free agency

Also, Lauri is about to be a FA, so any team who gets him would only have a year before he goes and gets a max deal

I think it'll be more like 22/23. Where there were a couple of really good teams, and then everyone else bar the bottom 3 are around .500. I think the East will be better, so the West can't beat up on them again. We're most likely not gonna have five 50-win teams and ten with 46 or more wins

For the first time in a while, the West is weaker than the year before (going into the season). Denver, LAC, and GSW seem to be weaker. Of course, Memphis and Houston want to be better, but I don't think the West will have 11 teams at least .500 or better

Vladdy is appointment viewing at this point. So fun when he's on like this

His 3-point shooting fluctuated too much. I really liked Nowell's game, but he got cold at the worst time. I think he's an NBA player, but there are limited spots in the league. Got to take your chance when you get them
