It seems like they should at a minimum sign Dunn for the rest of this year and next and guarantee the contract.

No you're not. Lauri is.

Yes and we can offer him a renegotiate and extend deal that pays him max money a year earlier than he can get anywhere else… literally can cut him a check for 25M more than his contract pays him that year on top of it. I’m sure he will turn that down in the spot he became an all star cuz he’s mad about 20 games at the end of a season…. I mean if he did it means he’s a moron and we’d trade him for a bunch of stuff… he’s in control and unlike most the whiners on this board he’s not a moron… so since we are in a position to make him an offer no sane person should refuse… please tell me how we aren’t in the drivers seat?

Some of y’all can’t see past your noses

What does that have to do with Ainge making a mockery of his career season?

He played his way into the AS game. DA didn't get him there.

Just saying all this **** can end up biting the Jazz in the *** in surprising ways.

If we don't hit the jackpot in the draft, Ainge better make some moves in the offseason to seriously improve this team. A full tanking season would almost guarantee Lauri declining an extension and hence ending up on the block, where Ainge would't get anywhere close to equal value back.

his career season?
oh i see why you are confused now, you think this is the last season of Markennan career. Its not. He has more, even better, seasons in his future.

Thank you. People are acting like Lauri has been on nothing but contenders his whole career and he just can’t handle being on a bad team for 20 games. He’s been underutilized and been on **** teams until this year. I’m sure he is going to leave a place he’s thriving because we have a rough last 20 games.

I enjoyed Dunn’s game tonight. He plays hard and looked very much in control of his game other than two careless turnovers but no one not named Markkanen is perfect. He also went 3-4 from three. Had a nice floater game

Wait… I haven’t followed most of this thread but are people trying to say Markkanen is going to ask out of Utah or something? If so that seems like a monumental overreaction. Lol.

I will give all my nuts away if there’s any rumors Lauri is unhappy or whatever. Lol

Can we wave THT?

No, he is our tank commander.

Is this coming from Lauri only fans that followed him here that weren’t jazz fans before he got here, I mean I can understand their thinking I guess but they aren’t thinking practically
