No you're not. Lauri is.

Yes and we can offer him a renegotiate and extend deal that pays him max money a year earlier than he can get anywhere else… literally can cut him a check for 25M more than his contract pays him that year on top of it. I’m sure he will turn that down in the spot he became an all star cuz he’s mad about 20 games at the end of a season…. I mean if he did it means he’s a moron and we’d trade him for a bunch of stuff… he’s in control and unlike most the whiners on this board he’s not a moron… so since we are in a position to make him an offer no sane person should refuse… please tell me how we aren’t in the drivers seat?

Some of y’all can’t see past your noses

What does that have to do with Ainge making a mockery of his career season?

He played his way into the AS game. DA didn't get him there.

Just saying all this **** can end up biting the Jazz in the *** in surprising ways.

If we don't hit the jackpot in the draft, Ainge better make some moves in the offseason to seriously improve this team. A full tanking season would almost guarantee Lauri declining an extension and hence ending up on the block, where Ainge would't get anywhere close to equal value back.

his career season?
oh i see why you are confused now, you think this is the last season of Markennan career. Its not. He has more, even better, seasons in his future.

Thank you. People are acting like Lauri has been on nothing but contenders his whole career and he just can’t handle being on a bad team for 20 games. He’s been underutilized and been on **** teams until this year. I’m sure he is going to leave a place he’s thriving because we have a rough last 20 games.

Wait… I haven’t followed most of this thread but are people trying to say Markkanen is going to ask out of Utah or something? If so that seems like a monumental overreaction. Lol.

I will give all my nuts away if there’s any rumors Lauri is unhappy or whatever. Lol

Is this coming from Lauri only fans that followed him here that weren’t jazz fans before he got here, I mean I can understand their thinking I guess but they aren’t thinking practically

Btw I have done this… you can play through but it sucks.

I had a teammate in high school do it as well. I think as a precautionary measure Clarkson should sit out the rest of the season. Doesn’t need to injure it even more with a new contract on the horizon.

They are going to be special if Chet comes even somewhat close to reaching his potential.

I'm interested to see if Chet can hold up to the grind of the NBA. He's going to have to put on some muscle. I see the same problem with Wemby, but we shall see. Gobert has done well but definitely strengthened himself those first couple of years.

The theory I would’ve put out right after the trade deadline is that one of the PRIMARY reasons the Jazz snagged all that cap space was specifically to renegotiate and extend Lauri.

The thing that sets up the Jazz for a great build is committing to being absolute dog **** for the rest of the season. They already have three players on long contracts that are keepers. Nail two picks this year and the window is open for maybe an inordinately long period.

Anyone arguing Lauri is not happy here doesnt pay attention to his interviews. He is not smiling, he is glowing. The dude is on top the world right now. He also knows we are headed in the right direction even if we are not gonna cause any ripples this year.

I'm also pretty sure he has more confidence in our FO and coach than he has ever had anywhere in his career. Thats not something that just disappears all of a sudden. Plus he was probably less fazed than anyone about the LA trade in the inverviews immediately after the fact.
