I’ve said this even before any trade talks for this team, Lauri Markkanen would be perfect for this roster. We’ve all seen the rumors, it’s been going on for a while now, but it never actually happened, which was frustrating. We’ve blown our chances at getting Lauri multiple times.
If we end up losing this series, I think this offseason we finally make a real move to add the right piece. I don’t think we make that same mistake again.
And we don’t need a superstar like Booker or Giannis on this roster, that’s not what this team needs. I’ve been saying it and I’ll keep saying it, go get Lauri.
I like Lauri more than Trey. He’s in his prime, a floor spacer, elite shooter, and a true second scorer who can take pressure off Cade. He’s also really good off ball.
It’s just the right fit both ways. You guys don't understand what he can do to this team and the dynamic of Cade and Lauri.
However, I wouldn't want Ausar included in any trade.
