Does Lauri Get Traded?

[fishonjazz]

OK, this makes it feel like a trade isn't going to happen, or if it does will be for significantly less than what we are all dreaming of.

To me it makes me feel like how I have always felt. We will extend him and then either trade him or keep him.

This guy isn’t credible.

Is he right though? He is saying that the fact that most teams can't do the extension that we and the spurs can do means he is less valuable.

That is correct information whether the guy is credible or not right?

He is not correct about the Jazz because we could renegotiate and extend due to our cap space. He’s probably correct if we traded Lauri somewhere without sufficient cap space

I'd agree. This is why I've been saying to expect less than Bridges (despite Lauri being a better player IMO). Bridges was seen in similar regard to Lauri IMO, but he has another year on his deal and is as certain as you can get to resign bc all his buddies are on the Knicks. You take on a great deal of risk as a team acquiring Lauri.

A useful reference point to this may be Pascal Siakam. He was traded on an expiring deal. However much better than Siakam you believe Lauri is, we can expect that much more. Siakam was traded for Bruce Brown + OKC 24 (turned into #29) + IND 24 (turned into #19) + IND 26 (top 4 protected)

That's the kind of deal that's interesting

He doesn't have to be credible to have a good point. Why would a team give up a huge package for a player that could leave in free agency next year?

Sorry, I misunderstood what you meant.

It happens all the time. I’m pretty sure San Antonio has enough cap space to take into the season to R&E him if they wanted to.

OK, here's another question - is there a valid reason for postponing R&E with Lauri besides potential trade? Can we do something with that capspace that is better than re-signing Lauri?

My point being - if we don't hear anything about R&E pretty soon... it probably means we are indeed looking to trade him.

Just an example from the recent past - the renegotiate and extend with Clarkson was agreed on July 2nd last year.

The Spurs are one of the only teams that could have enough cap space to take into the season to R&E Lauri.

We can’t officially do it until August 7th

Most teams cannot do a renegotiate and extend. You have to have cap space right now in order to pull that off because you have to increase his current salary before you can extend it at the higher number. Most teams don’t have that cap space and would have to wait out his last year and THEN hope to resign him as an UFA. San Antonio could do it now, but I think the idea is that they have leverage because other teams wont pay as much because he’s possibly a 1 year rental. However, the Jazz can extend and renegotiate, and DA is cold enough to tell them to get lost. Either the Spurs pay a godfather offer, or the Jazz should wait until after they renegotiate and extend his contract themselves.

I ****ing hate extension ****.

Can someone just tell me (and cite, ideally) if Lauri could receive the renegotiated extension if he’s traded to a team with cap room this off-season? Or is there a rule that prevents the receiving team (like tenure of a certain length on the new team) that essentially nixes the possibility outright?

Realistically? No way.
