Zach Lowe on the Detroit Pistons acquiring Lauri Markkanen: “It’s going to cost everything.” Lists the following package as the perceived cost: Tobias Harris, Jaden Ivey, Ron Holland, 4 first-round picks, and 4 first-round pick swaps.

I still doubt Lauri gets moved tbh, this seems like speculation at best.
I do think the price would be extremely high though, partly the reason I expect him to stay with the Jazz.
Zach Lowe is my fav bball podcaster.
I hope we don’t move Lauri I am now attached lol
No Ausar = non starter.
I’m a huge Lauri fan and would hate to see him go, but for this haul, you absolutely pull the trigger. It’s a win-win. Lauri would go to a title contender and we get another King’s ransom to further fuel the rebuild.
Why did they get rid of fontecchio?
That’s a big haul. The picks would be presumably pretty bad with a Cade and Lauri team. 4 of them plus the swaps though…. That’s quite a bit. Obviously, this is what Lowe believes it would take to get Lauri and not necessarily the actual price. Anyway, interesting to read. Would I do this deal if I were in charge? Most certainly.
