Trade ideas

Saint Cy of JFC said:
Honestly in any potential Lauri trade I think I would prioritize young talent over picks. So I dont think the Thunder can get me there.

Maybe if the Pistons get the Jazz on the phone and offer Ausuar w/ two picks.....

But even then, even with how special AUsuar looks, the dude is an awful awful awfull awful awful shooter. I saw a highlight where he airballed by like 5 feet in a way that I've never seen from a NBA player

On the top of my head, here’s the list of young(is) talent that are not untouchable from potential suitors:

DET:
Ausar (probably untouchable)
Ivey
Hayes
Stewart

OKC:
Giddey
Dieng
Wallace
Joe

ATL:
Hunter (not young)
Okongwu
Johnson
Griffin
Bey
Bufkin

IND:
Mathurin
Walker
Nesmith
Nembhard
Sheppard
Smith
Jackson

Kings:
Murray
Huerter

What teams/players am I missing?

Houston: Amen, Whitmore and Eason

Fit, contract size, and age... I think he is every bit as valuable as a trade chip as Rudy was.

Eh…I don’t know about that. We were talking about like a top 10-15 player in the league, and he was for the Jazz. On top of that, everyone thought it was an overpay the instant it happened so I’m not sure that is the reference point we should be looking at and the trade package we would be expecting.

I don’t think the media guys are correct in their trade value assessment of Lauri….but he’s definitely somewhere in between the two extremes.
 
Warriors just need to trade Klay + 1 first or 2 seconds for Lavine and call it a day.

It just makes too much sense for both teams. Bulls save money and get the cap space with Klay’s expiring and GSW is one of the only teams that are OK with Lavines contract cuz Steph/Draymind/Wiggins are also locked through 26/27 as well. They can't really blow it up until then. Lavine fits their timeline

We are. Hou is ranked bottom half in terms of 3pt shooting. Adding one of the leagues best shooters definitely makes sense for them. Plus it's not like there are that many teams willing to sell their biggest star at the moment. And I think teams will most definitely prioritze Lauri over the likes of Lavine and Vuce.

I meant that the other way around. We don't want Whitmore and I'm not sure Amen is a good fit either. What picks do they own that we would value?

He is... we found someone that overpaid for Rudy... if there is a bidding war because a guy's market is much wider then why wouldn't an overpay happen?

Why wouldn't we want Whitmore. He's one of the leagues premium prospects who have been dominating the G league and summer league. If we trade Lauri we are most definitely gonna want a guy like Whitmore who's worth developing. Amen is a good fit in terms of being a ballhandling PG renowned for his athleticism, defense and playmaking. All of which are currently lacking in our backcourt. And Eason is already a very good player who can help us now and future.

I personally would love Whitmore, but the Jazz don't. If we think Kessler is a keeper, and maybe we don't anymore, then I don't think we would pair him with a total non shooter.

I actually like both players a lot, but just not sure the Jazz would.

You can look through my post history, I'm a fan of Whitmore, and I agree with your point that he should be getting NBA minutes.

The Jazz don't like him, I'm not sure why. I doubt Gleage games are changing their mind.

I guess we’ll just have to wait and see. I don’t think one overpay means another will happen. There were several teams after Jrue, I don’t think Boston overpaid.

I don’t think Lauri gets traded, but I also wonder how long Ainge can keep cruising. At some point a big decision will have to be made. There’s only so many years you can win 30-40 games.

We were in on Dame and Jrue conversations. I think we’re trying.

There is no evidence that the jazz don't like him. People are claiming that because we passed on him but that could just mean that we liked Hendricks and George more.

Tony Jones and other beat reporters indicated that he was not an option for us. I'm not sure how credible you think these beat reporters are, but for a guy with his talent to be passed on twice is a really good indication that we didn't like him.
 
If the Lakers removed protection on 2027. Gave us the unprotected 2029 FRP and added 3 swaps then I would move Lauri.

Jazz beat reporters don't know **** most of the time. Also like I said maybe we just liked Hendricks and George more than Whitmore. There is nothing wrong with that and it definitely doesn't mean that we disliked Whitmore.

I think it’s fairly obvious Whitmore was off our board entirely.
