It's funny though how many fans are against it. I look at it like this...

If Lauri and KP don't fit, but Lauri is better at a reasonable contract? That makes trading KP much easier.

I agree. Hell I’m fine with signing Lauri and using him as a trade piece if needed. We just need good players that can get us great players when they become available. We know KP is going to miss time. Prob Lauri too. Hopefully it just wouldn’t be at the same time if we can get him.

Signing Lauri for $11m a year is a no brainer. Send Bulls a 2nd to facilitate. They should do it because that exception could add a nice role player in a playoff push. Alternatively, Lauri is bleeding leverage and may ultimately end up signing that QO. Bulls may feel they're better off just keeping him.

Yeah, I don't see why the Bulls do it unless we sweeten the pot. They could just keep him with the QO and trade him for a better asset down the line.
