Does Lauri Get Traded?

[Elizah Huge]

All these teams calling the Jazz and no deal has been done. Feels like if it doesnt happen within the next 48 hours it's not going to happen.

It takes time, Golden State has been in Klay trade talks in the meantime.

And we are talking about being on the fence for a full load from the Warriors. They probably arent offering the full load.

Say you are the Wizards... you own a top 20 protected pick in 2030 that will turn into a second if it doesn't convey. Someone comes to you and offers 2-3 seconds that you like better... do you say no to something that is better for you because you think you have a team by the balls? Especially when the teams can work around by simply changing the picks and swaps around... fine... we will take picks in 26/28/31 with swap rights in 25/27/29/30 or 31 if we have to.

They can take seconds from Golden State since Danny doesn’t want those anyways.

This might turn into a Don Saga all over again. At this point think, I think Ainge has come around to embracing it.

That's not how Danny operates. He can hold for ages to get what he wants. We saw that with Mitchell's trade.

Sure, but that's a bit of a different scenario. The Jazz want to extend Lauri.

The market may dictate this one though. If GS can't get it done then they move on to other things. We then turn our attention to re-negotiation. I think there is a window here.

They definitely are not. If Kuminga is in the deal, we might only be seeing 1-2 picks if we’re being honest.

Yeah, because he isnt coming back. The idea is that Utah wants to extend Lauri, so if the deals arent there I dont think they are just going to keep Lauri waiting.

Sir... respectfully... you have heard of Danny Ainge right?

They can't extend him before August 7th(per @Elizah Huge )... so the Jazz HAVE TO wait if they want to renegotiate and extend Lauri. And teams can try to change Ainge's mind in the meantime.

I see a deal with Kuminga, Moody, 1 unprotected first and a swap or so coming. And we'll all be pissed off. And probably the Warriors fans too.

Kuminga is a good player but will be in the final year of his rookie deal, are we offering him a rookie max extension?
