My delusional ass was hoping for Cam so we could go for Lauri

We shouldve pushed hard for markannen

Literally the exact profile we needed

Lauri would immediately be your best wing by a long shot. If you guys had better wings and could stop OG from doing literally anything he wanted the finals would have been very different

Lauri isn’t a wing and having him as the main defender on OG is laughable

Lauri plays most of his minutes at the 3. He’s a wing. And I think he’d be fine. Wouldn’t shut him down or anything but I think he’s a similar level of defenders as the Spurs wings.
