Lauri's fanbase just needs about 5 more teams and seasons to definitely conclude he's not the 2nd best European player after Luka.

Why the hell is the Lauri Defense Force showing out in this thread right now?

Sham rumor mill has CLE and ATL shopping for upgrades LeVert, Simmons, etc.

I gotta say, Caris is a nice player. Putting him on CLE in exchange for Rubio's expiring and FRPs would make them pretty dangerous.

I'm convinced our **** coaches ruined what might have been with Lauri. Imagine if he had an actual coaching staff that properly developed him. Maybe he still sucks, but maybe he lives up to the potential he so briefly flashed (Februlauri). We will never know unfortunately.

Pistons just beat the Jazz. Bucks lost to the Hornets twice back to back.

Still January. Anyone can beat anyone.

Bucks lost to the hornets so that's nice. Lets see what happens with the nets and cavs.

Also, Detroit beat the Jazz. Better not overlook them tomorrow

Well see Bulls lost after a 9 game winning streak so it's the end times around here... Lauri Defence Force... ! Dogs and cats living together! Mass hysteria...

Somehow I've been convinced that other teams losing to bad teams means the Bulls are worse than we thought...

somebody else came to the bulls as something of a project lauri's rookie year. can't remember his name...coaching must've ruined him too

Problem is Februlauri flashed on more than one occasion and was always followed by a lapse.. At some point it's not totally on the coaching it's on the talent.

This is Laurie's what third (fourth) coach? What none of them know how to use him? Or perhaps the people who spend the most time with him don't see it in him and have to work out a way to make it work...

Hornets have beat the Bucks twice now, B2B. Whatever they're doing against that team is working. Hard fought games too. Though Bucks are missing Holiday and still Lopez of course.

Covington’s defense is really solid. Active hands and making the right rotations. Making his 3s tonight. I feel like he’s all we really need at the 4 this year…basically a more experienced version of PWill

Nets about to lose to a blazers team missing CJ and Dame. Durant and Harden are 2nd and 3rd in MPG, so I don't buy that they're in "cruise control".

Clocian · Post #1374 » by **Clocian** » Tue Jan 11, 2022 5:24 am

Nice, nets lost to portland. Thanks Blazers!

He’d be a very good acquisition for little cost. RoCo showing that he has a little bit left in the tank.

RoCo, Nance Jr & Boucher would probably be my top 3 targets given the cost and not having to give up any rotation players.

I seriously don't understand how you guys still have energy to talk about Lauri.

RoCo's recent offensive uplift seems to correspond to Dame being out. I worry a little about a similar offensive challenge here as a 5th option. Also, we'd need to include Pat or Coby $wise to get either RoCo or Nance in a deal with POR (unless we get a 3rd team involved to take DJJ who can't be traded back to POR).

It was better than taking the guy out in the air. Strange foul but safer than nailing him when he is high up I guess.
