I'd rather have Satoransky and a 2nd than feel pressured to overpay Markennan because the Pels "gave up Lonzo" to get him.


Why would be pressured to overpay him? Are the bulls going to overpay him? He had no market this year. Seems like the Bulls will get him on the one year QO for a pretty good value while our options were an overpaid bad contract Ball, or an expiring Sato and overpaid Temple.

Think I’d rather see how Lauri would have fit this year on the QO or on a Hart like deal…..

Because the reason people are upset about the Lonzo trade is they think the Pels should have gotten a 1st for him. So trading Lonzo for Lauri would be like trading a 1st for him. That sunk cost makes the team feel it needs to keep him and gives the player leverage. We see it all the time in the NBA.
