frustrated the way the jazz have always been treated by some media. the jazz are not a minor league team. every trade proposal i hear suggest the jazz should just give players away to other teams, or take back bad contracts or just do whatever the can to assist other teams.

just heard a KO trade proposal to the knicks for a second round pick. Hell why would do that? Also seen a lot of lauri trade proposals.
First never, ever trade a 26 year old NBA allstar player that has publically just said he loves Utah, wants to stay in Utah and believes we are on the right track. If we are going to trade lauri it has to be a huge offer. i listened to a podcast over the weekend and these 2 yahwhos kept throwing out trade ideas. each offer had utah getting a ****** player with a bad contract or 1 or 2 protected picks. why even discuss it if you are not serious.
i just pisses me off that former players, the press and just about everyone else just thinks we suck and only exist to make other teams better.
 
Everybody has lopsided fake trade proposals. Lakers fans and some Knicks fans are also pretty notorious for proposing lopsided trades. I highly doubt that the Jazz are going to trade Lauri. There's no reason or urgency to do so.

At this point I’d take anything to get rid of him. Yes he’s a good player but we suck and won’t be good for at least a couple more years. All he’s doing is blocking Hendricks. I don’t see a team giving prospects or first rounders for him. Unless it’s someone like Boston or Philly or some other contender. contender.

you can develop hendricks without giving away KO. KO has been playing really well this year. his 3pt percentage is up. his assists are up and he never bitches about being on the bench. you dont have to get a 1st round pick back but you definitely need a young player with potential. you cant give KO away for a 2nd round pick.
 
This has got nothing to do with the Jazz being the Jazz and everything to do with the Jazz being stuck in mediocrity right now.

Every team’s fan base fantasizes about lopsided trades.

I have to agree with this.
Lauri's possible trade to OKC or anywhere-else will open more minutes for Hendricks and that's good for him.

To me this jazz ''rebuild'' is not a real rebuild it is more a retool.
So why not Jazz won't go real rebuild especially now when they are stuck on mediocrity.

Even a jackass knows that when Jazz will be officially ready to compete for playoffs and championship titles Lauri will be over 30 yrs old.
So cash-in Lauri's trade value now when it is high and go full rebuild and tank hard next 2-3 yrs to find franchise talents which can help Jazz to win a titles.

Screw everything to do with that. 5 year rebuilds are just as likely to turn into 10 year rebuilds as much as to put a team into contention. We have enough picks and assets, trading Lauri is for morons who prefer mock drafts over actual basketball.
 
The NBA is just hard to make trades in. First rounders are incredibly valuable and second rounders have barely any value. Kelly isn't good enough to get a first so yeah, you're going to have to settle for 2nds if you trade him

Well I did start by saying he’s a good player, but you either don’t understand or you didn’t really bother to read. We are a rebuilding team. Maybe Hendricks can develop for a year sitting on the bench watching KO, but he has to be out there for sure next season but preferably the second half of the season. Just like last year the jazz Will finally pull out all the stops and again out right full on tank. So why do we need him. We will be able to pull an asset out of a contending team at the deadline.

He absolutely should be traded, and I believe he will be unless the jazz make a trade for a star, and I don’t see it happening. He’s not going to help us make the playoffs or even win more than a game if even that. Lol
