Looks like Lauri Markkanen rumors have resurfaced.



I’m tired boss.

  1. I posted it in the main sub but it’s not really big news

    Like obviously you offer that but there’s no way Ainge accepts. But what’s interesting is the Warriors and Kings not willing to go all in for him either. Doesn’t seem like interest is as high as hoped

    I don’t think anything has changes since last week.

    Ainge just stoking the rumors in the hopes he’ll get one of GSW or SAS to blink before 8/6 and gave to his demands. I think Ainge knows they are going to trade him (because it only makes sense for them to do so), but that his leverage dries up come 8/6 when Lauri doesn’t extend. At that point, the offers only get lower and lower. Ainge is on the clock.

    He’s on his last year of his current contract. Only if it is a resign and trade. No team will give up what they are asking for one year.

    hopefully it happen
    with Lauri as another big (even if he not play like a true classic big)

    w Wemby likely to be more effective or play inside?

    a frontline of Wemby and Lauri on offense is something to see

    Spurs have length at front court finally

    Spurs needed to win all out now or at least be a darkhorse playoff team

    good for Wemby reputation for his 2nd year in the league

    I don’t like how much I’m hearing about shopping Keldon when we’re most likely to keep him. He IS our glue guy after all. He would take the shirt off his back for any teammate. The value he brings to morale is unquantifiable. This is a guy who will fuck up hard and redeem himself 30 seconds later. As long as we don’t put him in the last 2 mins of regulation I am very happy to keep him. I don’t want him to think he doesn’t fit as a Spur because he absolutely does, at least off the bench.

    Oh, good, so people on this sub can go back to pretending they’ve watched any Jazz games for the last two years and therefore have an informed opinion on him.

    The offer has always been on the table. Ainge is just fishing to see if he can get something better.

    I don’t see the Spurs paying Danny Ainge’s price. If the Warriors won’t, the Spurs certainly will not. I don’t think they would have acquired Barnes if they intended to trade for Lauri. Barnes is mostly a PF at this point his his career. It’s been 5 seasons since the played most of his minutes at SF.

  10. Surprised that Legion Hoops would source Brett Siegel. Both he and Evan Sidery just repost other people’s reports like it’s their own
