lol… actions always louder than words… don’t believe the GM. That said… like a 5% or less chance he gets moved. I think it requires at least the Bridges package. I also think if we can get him to sign the extension he may end up having more value than he does now.

If we pivot to tank it is likely with Lauri and I could see Sexton being moved. I’m sure they have some irons in the fire but I think if they move Lauri it’s because someone gets REALLY aggressive.

If Collier shows out sooner then later, then Sexton IMO is as good as gone
 
Look the jazz won’t trade him now. It will happen though. We have 6 rookies and sophomores. At the earliest I think he gets traded in two years. Who knows, we may draft three more rookies next year in a deep draft. At some point the jazz will realize just how young this team is and realize what they did at the end of the Stockton and Malone era that it’s time to start over again because it’s not getting done with Lauri.
 
Looking around the landscape I think they would need to consider it if Houston is offering a warchest that included the future Phoenix picks, assuming the Rockets don't trade them for Durant.

Short of that OKC is really the only other team with enough draft/prospect ammo to tempt Ainge. Thunder have a ton of incoming picks but none of them really look to become super high lottery picks.

Philadelphia has a few future Clipper picks that could become gold but not sure that's quite enough to tempt Ainge.
 
To the poll, the answer is "No".

DA will not trade him just to make the team worse, and he shouldnt. If we were to land one of the top prospects of next draft, then it accelerates our timeline back to where Lauri fits it pretty well.

If we dont land one of the top prospects, then its not like Lauri should lose a bunch of trade value. I think he will have a better season next year, now that the whole military service thing isnt bothering his offseason work.

Expand that by 1 more year and you see that we actually have 10 players on the full roster with less than 3 years of NBA experience (Preston, Lofton, Kessler and Juzang are all from 2022 class).

So we are going to be bad unless they make big moves... which i doubt at this point.
 
Jazz may not have their own draft pick next year so full tank may not help
Can somebody figure that out Thank you :) :) :)
 
Houston/OKC/GS are the teams that I’m looking at for a Lauri offer. They have to blow us away. I’m also seeing what happens with Collin. Sounds like we have repaired the relationship with Walker but the right offer could come in there too. Lauri also likely wants to sign the extension. It provides generational money and injuries can happen to anyone. $200M should be his first motivation.

I think he also sees the vision with Danny and wants to be part of it.

I see the Jazz's rebuild as a hybrid of New York and OKC

I think so too I just hope they are honest with him and don’t lose that trust. I also think they could be honest extend him and say “if it’s not working out we won’t hold you hostage”. I think he likes being the man… even if we aren’t winning as much as he’d like.

If Lauri gets traded it's because he won't sign an extension. I'm pretty confident that the Jazz want to sign him. I think Lauri wants to sign as well, but not as confident.

I'm pretty sure once he signs he can't be traded for 6 months, correct?

His extension wouldn’t go in effect until August 6th. He would be trade eligible again right before the 2025 trade deadline.
