    It will be a huge mistake to add any of these player to delay any kind of development of our rookies.

    They are both proving losers.

    Lauri M. Would allow us to have another big to stretch the floor.

    Theis and usman are more like dirty work players
    And Sengun hasn’t developed a 3pt shot yet

    We could be more versatile with Lauri

    Very underrated add for the Jazz.

    Bottom line is the Rockets had a problem accurately shooting from 3 last year.

    I actually think Lauri and Tate would fit together quite well and Lauri could be the go to guy on the second unit.

    With this said, I dont like Bigs that play soft. Pass, Give me KO.

    Are we sure Luka is happy and committed to being there? I wonder if there is some nervousness on that from other players.

    Not really because they don’t have cap room. Riding with LeBron and AD gets you a lot closer to a ring than Luka and Tim Hardaway Jr.

    Besides that franchise is pretty dysfunctional right now.

    What a few years it will have been, going from so many smaller "bigs" to real bigs like Wood, Sengun, Theis, & Garuba.

    I’m not gonna lie, I’d love to take a stab at Markkanen. He’s young and his size and shooting are appealing. I feel like after 3-teams Oubre is much more risky though I have to confess I thought he was gonna be a star when he was drafted.

    This and really gives us versatility and allows to always have a stretch big at all times.

    Especially when Wood is unavailable due to a sprained ankle.

    If you can get Markkanen you do it. Period. The guy would be an excellent addition.
