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?

Yes if they take the cap space into the regular season which they then could extend him after 6 months.

They can, but only 6 months after the trade. So they have to take a risk either way.

Unimportant detail: in his RFA year, he was getting no serious offers and just flapping in the wind for a month. I was one of the only (if not THE only) people here being loud about how the Jazz should get him on a maybe/probably weird sign-and-trade (probably ultimately using Bogey in some fashion and if necessary).

Ultimately, he was acquired through - you guessed it - a weird sign and trade. One of the pieces of the deal was a weak 1st rounder and the Jazz had just sent a protected 1st to dump Favors.

TLDR; we probably could’ve had Lauri with Gobert and Mitchell and I get bragging rights for believing in him and recognizing the opportunity.

Okay, so that’s basically a non-starter because a team needs to be at or above the salary floor by the start of the regular season to receive the LT disbursement which is like $20 million in cash or some ****.

Bummer.

I really don’t understand all the restrictions with extensions.

That isn’t true. They could be above but still have 14.1M to use on Lauri. Which is enough to get him close to a 30% max.

Nice call, I still wonder what that team could’ve been if we would’ve changed the supporting cast around one more time
 
Now we’re back to where I thought we were: Given that the Jazz probably won’t get the package needed to pry him away largely due to his contract status, he’s probably just getting the R&E and heading into the season shopping him for a trade deadline move.

If there really was a package of Dort and at least 3 firsts at the deadline… prrrobably should’ve just taken it.
 
All this F5 button whacking, I'll be doing tonight will be for nothing. I know it. I'm never ,"there" when something big happens.
