We extend Lauri Markannen to 2025 with a huge contract that will hopefully play well for us in the long run. Lauri can easily be our best player on the floor in a year or two and I was desperate to lock him down unless we lose him to free agency. This does leave us with some money questions as we do have money tied to some pretty poor bench players and Felicio! Lavine is another question mark, but I'm confident that if I can't keep him, I'll flip him for picks. With the money we would have given Dunn if I was more foolish still in our hands, I had my eyes on the class of next year for free agency.
