Ainge running ass first into Lauri rebuilding stock

FERFreak731 | Jazz

372 | 11 days ago

I can imagine Austin, and Danny harassing teams GM’s like the Hornets, and Pistons, saying “you want him, give us 5 firsts”, then them responding “we didn’t even ask if he’s available for trade in the first place”

They must be drooling at the idea to request 5 first round picks.

[deleted]

142 | 11 days ago

Cade with a stretch 4 of Lauri’s caliber sounds great but what’s the point of giving up 5 firsts and good trade pieces for a guy who is earning ~45 million dollar, hasn’t played more than 55 games a season in the last two years and has no playoff experience.

legend023 | Pelicans

85 | 11 days ago

There isn’t.

Proof-Umpire-7718 | Lakers

69 | 11 days ago

I agree that they shouldn’t trade 5 firsts for him because of his contract.

Tbf to Lauri though, the amount of games played is low partially because the Jazz would sit him out at times to tank.

Even if they get 5 picks, i highly doubt any of those picks would be as good as Lauri or want to stay in Utah past their rookie contract. Maybe if they trade him to the Lakers for a second round pick, Silver would gift them the 1st pick in next year’s draft

I mean Lauri is an awesome player, and it’s pretty hard to judge his true value on a team that’s very actively tanking

He was good even in his first 2 years on the Bulls. Had some crazy pop off games.

Then Boylen the clown turned him into Steve Novak in terms of role and scheme.

DRose career altering ACL and the fumbling of Lauri… it’s been a tough decade and a half as a bulls fan

Starts at the top and ownership are a bunch of careless dickheads so that permeates throughout.

We’re an absolute poverty franchise that can hope for the play-in at best.

he was hesitatin in the first half but went 2024 Curry in the end

MrBuckBuck | Trail Blazers

214 | 11 days ago

By the way, Lauri Markkanen went ⁸⁄₂₄ from the field, but he made one big clutch off-balance long mid-range over Nikola Jokic.

They went on Jokic again and again, and it worked out for Finland.

A1_PunisherPipkins

141 | 11 days ago

Im a Jokic glazer but ngl they had him stumbling every possession 😭

cancercureall | Supersonics

9 | 11 days ago

His one weakness is no quickness. Truly if he somehow got to league average in that one physical skill he would be the goat (not close) but if he gets pulled into an iso away from the paint he is COOOOOKED. His hands are elite, he reads plays, he rotates perfectly, but he gets fucking dogwalked if he has to try and stay in front of a fast player.

I didn’t watch this game but I assume that was prevalent here.

sanchopanza84 | UTA

48 | 11 days ago

Also got a tip-in off a Lauri missed layup that should have been Jokic’s 5th foul

Akkepake | Trail Blazers

7 | 11 days ago

Nikola ”Sga” Jokic. This was the basketball game Ive watched. This mf torching Blazers/Bron for years and years only for my country to win them in Eurobasket knockouts.

I hate Jokic more than I like to admit in the court (best player in the world ofc) but this is so insane. Im so proud for our team and everything they did on the court. They were everything and even better

EDIT: Man I made people big mad with this, lmao.

Gash7

47 | 11 days ago

Why, because they’re tanking or because they’re a small market team? I’m a Jazz hater but they’ve been competitive team for most of my lifetime so I don’t know why you’d say that.

Because hes 12 and just started watching NBA

the_dolomite | Trail Blazers

39 | 11 days ago

If you started watching basketball 3 years ago this might seem true. They have been rebuilding but historically speaking they have been one of the most consistently successful teams.

https://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/UTA/

Take a look at all those years of winning records, the 20 year streak of making the playoffs. I grew up hating the Stockton/Malone Jazz but I have to admit they are a winning franchise and I have no doubt they will be again, Ainge is playing the long game and I wouldn’t bet against him.

You’re talking about the Jazz like they are the Wizards historically.

Technically nothing, you are correct. My point was that he will go higher (top5 etc) and while those are lottery picks they are more often described as top5/top3 instead of lottery picks that go all the way to 15th +

AcanthocephalaSad541 | Heat

It’s a shame their timelines are so different, if they were 5 years apart instead of 10 Finland could seriously compete

Dragic and Doncic were 13 years apart. Won Eurobasket gold.

nonlavta

44 | 11 days ago

Well, Doncic was 18 when that happened and made the all tournament team selection that eurobasket. Muurinen is 18 this eurobasket, he’s not sniffing any of that. Different calibre of prospects.

But next eurobasket Muurinen will be 22 and Markkanen will be 32, that’s their best alignment.

MayBakerfield

40 | 11 days ago

Finland could seriously compete

They just beat the 2nd best bball team in the world. Serious enough?

Pontus_Pilates

42 | 11 days ago

Finland is pretty deep in the front court (in European context), it’s the guards that is the real problem. If there was a real PG to play with Lauri, it would be so much easier for him.

Not beating Portugal by more than 11 should’ve been the first warning

Barely surviving Latvia with the talent disparity should’ve raised some flags

Losing to Turkey the way they lost should’ve been blaring alarms

They played with like 60% effort throughout the entire group stage then when it’s time to play up to 100% they find out 60 * 5 does a lot more damage than 100 * 1

RomuloMalkon68

43 | 11 days ago

Correction the whole Serbian team except Jokic, Jovic and Avramovic (until he got injured) played like that.

cloudberrylive | Hawks

58 | 11 days ago

Little had the game of his life, Valtonen had the best 4th quarter of his life, and almost everyone on the team gets to have a highlight for their grandchildren someday against Jokic. Really happy for them all

EDIT to share Little’s stats: 13 points, 8 rebounds (most on team tied with Markkanen), 6 assists (most on team), 3 steals, 1 block with EFF at 25 to Markkanen’s 26

Pontus_Pilates

38 | 11 days ago

Jantunen carried early scoring, then defended Jokic for most of the game. Not the flashiest player but a goddamned professional. Finland doesn’t win this without Jantunen.

cloudberrylive | Hawks

11 | 11 days ago

Yeah I guess the distinction here is that he’s not having the game of his life as he’s been already playing well this FIBA tourney + in eurobasketball past season. Really great player

incredible postgame scenes on the court

what a moment for Team Finland

also i love the 18 year old Muurinen talking shit to everyone over the slightest things. got the best of him when Guduric came back and hit a 3 the next trip, and when he was stuck complaining to the refs while his teammate got a steal. but the talent is undeniable

he moves so fluid, even smoother than Chet tbh

maybe a bit temperamental but id take that with talent any day over lack of emotion

I’ve seen him projected way higher than late first round, and considering how European players see their stock rise during the Euro or the World Cup, I’m sure he’ll be a consensus top ⁵⁄₇ going forward.

Pesic is senile at this point. No apparent game plan from Serbia and for some reason they forgot they have Jokic in the team and let Guduric set bricks all game long. Jokic probably hit a lefuckyou 3 to his team at the end.

they forgot they have Jokic in the team

Sheesh, what an upset. Too bad Lauri has to go back to prison in Utah after this.

In a stunning turn of events, the Finnish team takes off their jerseys and reveals Italian jerseys underneath.

Miika Muurinen should be top 5 in everyones draft board for next years draft. He’s a Finnish Trey Murphy

Peak finnish attitude. We never have the best team at anything. Not even hockey, even tho at that we come close. But we sure as hell have the sisu and know how to work as a team.

Time for pešić to go. The rotations and decisions from him have been garbage. Everyone outside of Jokic has been garbage. Occasional showing from Jovic and Avramovic.

Not giving Jokic the ball until the game was already over was definitely a decision… he did instantly hit a 3 pointer tho’, but man the point guard’s hero ball to take a early 3 two times in a row when you have Jokic on your team.

They had 20 fucking offensive rebounds, 0 effort from Serbia in D and box out just ball watching and pass Jokic ans stand watch him play

Lauri Markkanen and Finland pull off the SHOCKING upset and beat Jokic and Serbia 92 - 86 as Lauri scores 29 & 7 against Jokic’s 33 points & 8 Rebs
