Right now. Luckily this team and neither player are finished products right now.
I think Ainge and Zanik will approach the trade deadline with an eye toward the future. I don't think they're worried about trying to make a deep playoff run this season.
Great thing is Kuzma is only 27 so he would not only help this season but the future as well.
True, assuming he'd want to sign here long term.
He does? His TRB% this year is 11.8 and overall 11.1 for his career. I’m addition, his rebounds per 36 are 7.7 this year and 7.4 for his career. Lauri’s TRB% is 13.7 this year and 12.5 for his career, while his per 36 are 9 this year and 8.3 career.
I don’t do it unless he agrees to an extension before hand.

if he didn't want the bag being so old already, and full of self love on his sleave etc. He would fit this roster a bit , but overall cannot see much interest in him even in a s/t

27 is old for this rosters timeline, if they trade the vets considering he wants the bag. I wouldn't bother
I see him as a free agent. We are going to throw money at someone, so why not him. Timeline is a little wonky, but the quality goes up to be competitive. We have a million picks so we can risk things. If he won't sign at a reasonable price then it sets up the Jazz to do another trade. Maybe we could get a 2023 or a 2024 draft pick out of it if it falls apart. If it works out well and the team gets a championship then it would be worth it.
Have your cake and it eat it too. Building, building building is boring seize the moment now, I say.Oh...yeah...one major downside, is that maybe Vando would view him as threat to his job, but I think Vando would still fit. But we get more depth and we get another near top-line weapon on the team.
Ok, I am wrong. But, depending on the composition of the roster maybe he would be available to rebound more. Anyway, the big picture is his diverse wide-ranging skillset would enhance the team.

dont like him never did. He was a nice story as a rookie, but has not done **** since. I think he's a headcase overall, would hate Utah, and want nothing to do with those types of players on this roster.I see him as a free agent. We are going to throw money at someone, so why not him.

You want to throw $$ at somebody it will probably be JC if they don't flip him soon, but if not ,there are better options that will be cheaper like Dosunmu , Lonnie Walker, or Martin, if Houston doesn't pick up his option. Or they can throw $$ at Cam Johnson and hope Suns don't match. I would offer Kuzma a lowball offer and if he takes it fine.

The starting lineup would be:
Kessler
Markannen
Kuzma
Clarkson
Conley
Olynyk and Vanderbilt and Beasley and NAW and Sexton would come off the bench. That's an insanely good team. I think it might turn into the best offensive team with Kessler, Vando, Kuz, and Naw boosting the defense to a top 5 defense. Ah...championship would already be possible this year. Yikes!

Nah Danny wants younger guys for his long-term build
He’s 27.
You really think adding Kyle Kuzma to this roster would boost us all the way up to a top 5 defense AND make us a championship contender?!?! Kuzma's a nice player, but c'mon man.
You are seriously on crack. Kuz isn't nearly the player you think he is and is an average defender at best. That team wouldn't even sniff a championship and Kuz would definitely stunt the growth of Lauri.
There is no upside for him to consider doing that. It would also be completely meaningless if he did since he actually wouldn't be locked into anything.
