Does Lauri Get Traded?

[Thee Jazz Fan]

Yes, sounds great for us. That’s why they should do it.

Oh ya

 

[MTS]

Well that was a letdown. I saw that and was super excited for a couple seconds.

Thank God you're not the GM.

By the time this stuff gets leaked, a lot of times the discussion is already dead. It feels like this could be one of those times.

Eh... it kind of makes sense that they would wait a day or two... filling out the roster for the Warriors and we had the rookie press conference. The Warriors were the main team out doing stuff... having Lauri slow or hold up the market could also be us doing them a solid to make sure we get the deal we want. After yesterdays moves I think they are more likely to do something of a consolidation/slight money saving deal... whether its with us or someone else.

The reporting for the Jazz Lauri makes me think that the moment an offer happens they love, they will say yes on the spot. It has to blow them away. I doubt anything currently on the table is acceptable

Maybe and who knows, but it's also possible that this was discussed, they couldn't agree on a price and is now dead.

If Sip was the GM you'd tank every year and after 3 years you'd trade the players you tanked for cuz they are now too good to tank.

If you are referring to the Lauri stuff then wasn't it just yesterday when Tony Jones confirmed the Jazz have at least 2 offers on the table they are seriously considering?

I doubt the conversations died since then as there are no leaks from any of the potential suitors. I havent heard anyone say they are backing away.

The trade ultimately has to get signed off by Ryan as well. So there are more layers to this than we think.

Could be two offers that have already been declined. My real point is that a lot of this stuff isn't happening in real time.

Also due to Lauris contract year, I'd imagine any of the teams who have made serious offers want assurances from Lauri that he wants to go there and re-sign. That would be even mroe paramount, if DA is trying to get the price up.

I don't think its dead but it is possible for sure. Until something happens that takes them out of the running I think GS can put it all on the table and it is enough. Kuminga is not my cup of tea but maybe Ainge loves him. IDK

I think what is clear is we are headed for a tank of some sort for the next year or two.

Has the tone changed?
