If the Jazz trade Lauri, the team that's probably more desperate is Golden State. Their dynasty has ended. They might be able to drag out one or two competitive seasons with Lauri, but after that they're going to be pretty sad for a while.
I think its capped at 140% for first year of the new deal and 105% for consecutive years. So that wont happen.What are the rules on extend-and-trade these days? Didn't Cleveland just do this when they traded us Sexton?
That was a sign and trade. Sexton was a restricted free agent.What are the rules on extend-and-trade these days? Didn't Cleveland just do this when they traded us Sexton?
I assume the rules are hard because you rarely see them executed.What are the rules on extend-and-trade these days? Didn't Cleveland just do this when they traded us Sexton?
This is what is so fun about owning other teams picks.I'm on the other side of that fence. I want all West teams to stockpile all the aging veterans they can, as long as those teams arent Utah Jazz and Minnesota Timberwolves.
Clippers core of dinosaurs was about to go extinct soon anyways.
On the plus side, maybe Sixers will drop down Cavs in the standings as a result.

Joking I thinkHow does that help with a tank?
**** that noise. Glad it isn't usTobias to Detroit for 25 milly a year for 2 years.
The best time to do it is now though, the picks become way overpriced close to the draft.This Jazz rebuild isn't going to be 1 or 2 years. It's going to be 5 years. I can see the Jazz moving Lauri in that context, but that doesn't mean they need to do it this summer.
Like, is he so special so as to eat up all the other opportunities they lose? I get he’s a nice player with good passing, but finding true bigs is one of the easiest things a team can do. Want a nice one? Maybe get Walker thrown in with Lauri.I’d be pretty upset as a Thunder fan that after all of their diligent work to build the team smart, their big cap move is *checks notes* paying Hartenstein $30 million? Jesus Christ.
GSW have nothing to offer us though.If the Jazz trade Lauri, the team that's probably more desperate is Golden State. Their dynasty has ended. They might be able to drag out one or two competitive seasons with Lauri, but after that they're going to be pretty sad for a while.
If you're feeling really saturated you can often kick the can down the road on draft night like the Spurs did with Minnesota. Teams often talk themselves into players on the board and a dollar today can be more valuable for teams than a dollar tomorrowLike, is he so special so as to eat up all the other opportunities they lose?

It is just so uncharacteristic of Presti. Maybe he has a gear he hasn’t shown?
Also, what the **** are OKC supposed to do with all of their picks? At a certain talent saturation, the best thing you can do with picks is to trade them at the right time for the right player(s). Even if it’s a lot. Hell, especially if it’s for a player worthy of a haul.
To what end, though? Is the point to win championships? Cuz that’s hard and you kinda have to do some perilous stuff to get to the mountain top. Also, there’s only so many development opportunities with your own roster. In other words, to stack the deck of actual players, to some degree you probably have to acquire developed players from other teams.If you're feeling really saturated you can often kick the can down the road on draft night like the Spurs did with Minnesota.

Wow, if true they really did go big game hunting.If this has been posted someplace else I apologize. If we trade Lauri this will be used as the reason. https://bleacherreport.com/articles...ridges-trade-to-entice-star-to-leave-clippers
To my knowledge the jazz in Utah have never done a 5 year rebuild. It’s needed.This Jazz rebuild isn't going to be 1 or 2 years. It's going to be 5 years. I can see the Jazz moving Lauri in that context, but that doesn't mean they need to do it this summer.
No we extended Sexton.What are the rules on extend-and-trade these days? Didn't Cleveland just do this when they traded us Sexton?
Again: The Jazz did not extend Sexton. He was a restricted free agent then signed and traded to the Jazz.No we extended Sexton.
Danny Ainge held Paul Pierce throughout the Celtics tank years before trading for Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen using the other assets he'd accumulated.To my knowledge the jazz in Utah have never done a 5 year rebuild. It’s needed.
