Losing him for nothing in the off-season would devastate this team. The FO better be 100% sure what he is doing and that means we have a plan to win with him. If you are tanking this year like many suggest, then you have to have a big trade, FA pickups, and a lot of other hard to do things next off-season to turn it around. Otherwise you trade him now, which I think is stupid.
A high pick may just become another Taylor Hendricks and good free agents don't exactly look for situations like ours.
Normally I would agree but the Jazz have way too much draft capital for that to happen. I can see them "tanking" (for lack of a better word) this season for a top 5 pick and then using some of those FRP's in the warchest to bring in another impact player next offseason. Ainge has already stated in so many words he ultimately wants to win here and is too damn old and competitive to tank for 5 years.

He’s going to re-sign. 100%. He’s the man here, he’s about to get paid, he just bought a house - after asking Ainge if it was safe to do so, and he loves Salt Lake.
Just as an FYI to save you time in the future, I’m muting you. You’re the Colin Sexton of this forum. Blinders on at all times and you drive into threads without a plan just to see what happens.
Wow.
FWIW from what I could tell they weren't muting you due to a single post in this thread.
Oh. So my lukewarm take was the straw that broke the camel's back. The dude just couldn't take ANY MORE of me. I get it!
weird post to make your last straw. he's a 100% right and it was even kinda funny/clever - those two bums are doing their best to make Lauri a role player. especially clarkson. can't believe i'm saying this, but if clarkson is the only other option, give me THT.
There's no such thing as a high scoring role player. If you are averaging 24 ppg you arent a role player. It was a moronic thing to say like 90% of what he says.
Que?
