@Golden State Warriors

[Charania] Warriors have been the most engaged team for Lauri as league sources tell they have discussed a proposal around Moody, multiple FRPs, multiple swaps & multiple SRPs. Jazz, however, have asked for Moody, Kuminga & Podziemski + picks, which has been a non-starter thus far for Golden State

    That’s a price for a healthy 7’0 floor-spacing monster

  2. InevitableBudget510

    Take the deal Danny. You have no leverage. You need to tank.

  3. roscochicken90

    Danny Ainge can kick rocks, that’s a reasonable offer from MDJ for Lauri (who the Jazz could lose for nothing), I’d laugh so hard if the Jazz ended up like the Clippers where they lose a key player for nothing just because they want to be completely unreasonable with the Warriors in trade talks 😂

  4. Especially for a Mormon, Ainge needs to put down the bottle. I really like Markannen, but this is outlandish.

  5. Spirited-Sea-4047

    JK Podz and Moody ?? PLUS PICKS ??? come on now ainge you know better than that

  6. Yeah they’re not giving up JK and Podz alongside Moody and all those picks. I think at most the middle ground would be that Podz gets added but even then they don’t really have much of a reason to do that since they’re the only ones bidding.

  7. marionettas

    Lmao I’ve been on team Lauri the whole time but Moody + JK + Podz by itself is already wild, plus picks is abhorrent, and I think it’s obvious Ainge just doesn’t want to trade him so he just threw out an absurd asking price

  8. spidermanisthebest

    jeez give me all the picks in the world and they’ll ask for everything. i’m glad mike dunleavy is engaged and not biting on any of the ridiculous asks of ainge. staring contest of death continues

  9. Rambodius

    Word is Ainge has also asked for Steph Curry and our most recent championship.

  10. Competitive-Term-759

    Ainge is completely unserious about actually getting a deal done. Lauri would’ve nice but it might be time to stop wasting breath trying to work with a guy who negotiates in bad faith.

  11. TresBone-

    Moody, Jk, Pods and picks ? Who does Ainge think Laurie is ? Wilt. That’s way too much for a slight 7 footer who don’t rebound much .

  12. You can have a bunch of picks if you take back no young players, and you can have one of Podz and Kuminga if the picks included are significantly reduced. He’s not worth the full everything price.

    At this point I suspect Ainge understands this and intends to extend Markkanen, he’s just seeing if he can get a king’s ransom instead.

  13. heliocentrist510

    Ainge is like that dude in my fantasy football trade who makes the worst offers possible and then says “why does no one wanna trade in this league”

  14. Guess if you’re Ainge, you’re supposed to ask for the most than bargain from there lol

  15. So basically the trade isn’t happening…because there’s no way the Warriors is going to give up that much.

    They need to keep Podz at the very minimum.

  16. pzavlaris

    Walk away, this only makes sense if we keep Podz and Kuminga. Ainge is over-playing his hand.

  17. Altruistic-Twist-379

    Somebody suplex this mf ainge, how you this delusional, At this point just call it off, you wont with this dude and lauri is not prime lbj come on now.

  18. PredictableSandlot

    I love lauri but he is not good enough that you can surround him and steph with Mid and be okay.The Laker had 2 top 10 players last season.Fully healthy and they won one more game then us.Want to know why beacuse they are surrounded by below average players. That is a package for AD.A two way menace.

    He is has his flaws.He is not an on-ball creator or playmaker and at best an okay defender.

  19. notmyusername77

    Trading all your picks for Lauri by itself is already a bit of a stretch and I didn’t feel great about it

    MDJ should stop engaging here. Move forward with the current roster. Maybe trade Moody for another center. Ainge is asking for the trade package you’d put together for prime Kobe.

  20. Silent-Corner-2852

    And yet half this sub has been trying to tell me the last two weeks that the Jazz don’t want Kuminga

  21. WhoNeedsAWholeBagel

    😂 Lauri is not some MVP level talent. He’s a good player getting a ton of usage on a team that can’t even make the play ins.

  22. calartnick

    You know what? Fuck it. Let’s roll with the young guys

  23. Negotiating for beginners would be good for this sub.

  24. I told y’all, never deal with aigne, we will only get fleeced. Downvote done last time but I’ll say it again.

  25. sugarwax1

    The fact that this has become the focus of the off season when the price tag is unrealistic is so lame. Do they think he’s Luka or going to become Luka? We can’t afford him.

  26. comalicious

    Danny Ainge is such a fuckin toad dude you have to respect it 😂

  27. Deusselkerr

    If we lose all of our youth and all of our draft assets for Lauri… I’m all about going all in while Steph is still here, but this team minus Podz, Kuminga, Moody and plus Lauri is not a contender, and not worth sacrificing the next 7+ years

  28. apexrogers

    Ainge is out of his goddamned mind. The Warriors would be insane to entertain even a portion of that haul

  29. gbdarknight77

    Ainge trying to fleece you guys like he did Brooklyn years ago.

    Don’t let him. Lauri is good but this isn’t a perennial all star player.

  30. SCalifornia831

    I’ve been saying this from the very beginning. The cost for Markannen was going to be Kuminga + Moody + Podz + TJD + multiple FRPs. Thats the asking price.

    I agree, that’s an absurd price to pay and why I’ve been saying all along that Lauri isn’t happening.

    Ainge doesn’t want or need to trade him right now, Lauri doesn’t want to be traded because he wants his extension to make more money this year, which means he can’t be dealt until the deadline. The Warriors very very rarely make deadline deals, they like continuity to build throughout the season.

    Ainge is asking for too much and thankfully Dunleavy is smart enough to not panic and get fleeced.

  31. Far-Hospital2925

    I’d be willing to part with a little more than most people here for Lauri, but that’s completely absurd.

  32. n00dle_king

    Dubs are doing their best to put a championship team together but the new salary cap rules make it a mess.

  33. bucketjunky

    FUCK NO ainge might be the worst mfer at the art of the deal ever. Take advantage of dumb fo’s but we win titles with our fo.

    He’s not at our level and just being a dick

  34. Church__Mouse

    haha haha ha ha Ainge is funny. What a joker

  35. Noiserawker

    I mean Jesus, they want a total and complete screw job.

  36. I don’t blame them asking for the moon ahaha reminds me of that one in your fantasy sports league

  37. PayterLobo

    Moody plus picks is a good deal imo. As soon as we get rid of Kuminga with it, I dont think that our team improves by a big enough margin to make the deal anyways.
