I like Lauri, and want him on the Jazz. Never said otherwise.
It's clearly an issue for Lauri, though, because otherwise he'd sign tomorrow, and we wouldn't be talking about this. The obvious answer is that he wants to take away any gray area. Which is what we've been trying to tell you.
It's not a matter of whether you or I or Danny Ainge like Lauri. And it's not a matter of trust, as you tried to argue in the other thread. It's a matter of Lauri covering himself. Which he absolutely should. I would do the same if I were in his shoes.
