The Jazz are going to trade for Brandon Ingram and Kawhi Leonard.
The reason we haven't heard any Ingram rumblings is because the Jazz have a trade lines up for Ingram if the Warriors don't give up everything.
The reason Kawhi got pulled from Team USA is because the Clippers want to ensure his trade value for the Jazz, keeping him as healthy as possible. Danny Ainge called some people and pulled some strings to have Leonard pulled off the team. Clippers are able to deny involvement because Danny ordered it. If the trade falls through due to GSW paying the max trade offer, everyone can walk away untarnished by the rumor mill.
To add to the conspiracy, the Jazz have been keeping the Lauri trade rumors in constant rotation to distract from their true master plan. @Tony Jones hinted the reason Lauri isn't upset over the trade talks is because the Jazz have kept him clued in and used the word "plan". *Editors Note: Nothing of what I'm saying is anything anyone has told me and is me just BS'ing in the off-season*
So there is potentially some plan in place that has Lauri happy enough to want to commit to Utah, a place almost no 3rd contract player who is viewed as a Top 30 guy wants to commit to. Of course this could just be him getting paid, but it could also be a master plan to contend immediately.
Windhorst has referenced his classic meme, Lowe is talking about executives floating Ingram to Utah. It may all be happening...
The question does Joe Lacob know this is going on? If he knows, then he knows Utah is about to knock the Warriors down a spot and potentially making the play in game a tough make. Will he lay the extra price to stop the Utah Overlords from dominating the NBA while his golden goose waste away?

Basic outline of the trade before the picks come into play
Jazz Rotation:
Keyonte/Collier
Ingram/Juzang
Kawhi/Williams
Lauri/Filipowski
Kessler/Eubanks
Gordon Hayward is an available vet min player. So is Tyson Jones (probably not minimum). So is Lonnie Walker. Precious Achuwa also available.
