Lauri Pulse Check

[Nick]

It’s been a bit since I’ve asked — Lauri Markkanen is still out there as a guy that can be acquired.
How does he fit with KP on the roster?

I would pass on Lauri and focus on Dragic if its
an either or choice. I like the new additions but don’t want to give up a core player to get a injury prone KP lite. I’m ready to stand pat if we get Dragic and go to war with what we got.

I agree with you about Lauri, that there is no room for him.

Disagree that we should concentrate on Dragic in a trade. We would need to give up 2-3 quality role players and a first rounder (probably) to get Toronto to trade him to us. Which makes it not worth it.

Well it does not matter anymore he was traded to Cleveland over the weekend.
