What should we ask from Spurs for Lauri?

[Luca Pacioli]

because the jazz (and every team in the league) need guards who can score.

If we’re trading Lauri, do we really need a guy that can score?? Isn’t that something the Jazz staff can develop? Isn’t that what we’re talking about and why you draft imperfect players, to develop them? Seems like a good fit for this year’s team!!

I don't get why we are trading him all of the sudden?

Windy said rival execs are getting the sense Danny is listening. Said Spurs and Warriors are two teams who could make a big offer.

So essentially, the godfather offer could come. Even last DL the reports were that we could trade him for such an offer.

I feel we are already flooded with picks and young players. But only have one solid building block. Unless Lauri wants this, I'm not a fan.

But then I'll see the return and be excited, so whatever I guess.

NOTHING. We should ask for nothing and accept nothing from the Spurs for Laurie. Why would we create a champion level competitor for the next decade in an org that we know wont fumble the ball? We need to get to the championship level ourselves but can’t creat the biggest barrier to our own championship in our own division.

I still think the Jazz entertaining offers makes teams think they are set on trading him and they have a chance. I think it will still be a king's ransom to get Lauri.

IMO Lauri doesn’t fit the time line. By the time all these prospects we are adding are ready to win Lauri might be finished being ready to win. A Lauri trade would lengthen our window for building this team into a championship contender.

The way to look at this positively (which I always try to do), is if Spurs are the trade partner there is a fair chance Jazz could get 2 top 10 picks in 2025 (one from that trade and their own).

And based on preliminary hype... the 2025 draft has like 6-7 player who are all better than anyone drafted in 2024 including multiple possible superstar level guys.

DA and Jazz must finally be getting legit offers for him

 

[jom2003]

If we trade Lauri, it won't be because of the picks(wont mind if we get a few more, but we also kinda have too many of those already), but because one team offer us an exciting young player who has the potential to become the "new Lauri". Let's say, Jalen Williams or Cam Whitmore

27 year old 7” unicorn. They’d better get an absolute haul for him. Bigger than Bridges. If that isn’t happening, then I’d rather keep him and take my chances.

 

[SoberasHotRod]

I like Keldon Johnson and so I would want him. I would also not be opposed to loading up on 2025 draft picks. Obviously we're not going to be able to pick them all, but we can package them to move up or move them for future picks or players. I think those picks end up extremely valuable.

I would also ask for Sidy Cissoko.

I would also ask for Sidy Cissoko.

The Jazz have like 1 roster spot open atm, so at most I believe it would be a 2 for 1 deal.

Gotta think that if the Jazz trade Lauri that Collins, Clarkson and Sexton aren’t far behind. That feels like the start of a fire sale.

 

[The Midnight]

2025 Atlanta
2025 Chicago
2027 Atlanta
2030 Dallas Swap
2031 Minnesota
Devontae Graham

So three extremely high quality first, a high quality swap, and a mid quality first. Graham is matching salary, allowing Spurs to keep all their players.

I’m salivating at those picks man.. lol.. 2025 is gonna be a good year too.

1. Not everything deserves its own thread. We already had at least two threads dedicated to the prospect of a Lauri trade

2. What is “Banned McMahon”?

You don’t know who Banned McMahon is?

Do you follow the NbA?

I get that, but you kind of need to actually be building around something and have some kind of established player, veteran, culture, etc. to grow as a team.

Short of getting a Wemby like prospect we're just gonna have a bunch of kids fighting at the table with no adult in the room. Lauri would really bring a sense of hierarchy and respect to a young team.

 

[whatthe]

I don't want Castle. He can not shoot and he limits the Spurs for the next two to three years because his other qualities make it hard to give up on him quickly.

Is that different than the NBA? If so, no. Does Banned McMahon play in the “NbA”?
