Nice listen! Dropped right as I was finding a podcast for the commute home, thought I'd have to do another Duncd On which I only kind of enjoy
 
Great timing to get Andy Larsen for a delayed post-trade deadline breakdown.

Thought the most significant takeaways/insights were that: (SPOILERS)





-Andy was apparently shaking his head to the idea that the Jazz are even considering a quick pivot to winning next year
-Lauri knows that the Jazz are tanking and is basically on board

He also was shaking his head at the thought of the Jazz passing on matching salary and a first for Sexton which means it likely wasn’t on the table.

Based on Andy's reaction and what Tony and Locke are pitching I think its pretty consistent that the tank will go on beyond this year. I still might settle this year on Collin and John if that is indeed the plan but I suppose if the tank is currently pretty secure you can do that biz in the offseason and the players might prefer that too.
 
Had to listen right away with Andy as the guest. I've said this many times, but I'll be extremely surprised if we don't try and be bad again next year. It's going to be rough.

Was there any reference made to the infamous KOC quote about how “sometimes the best move is no move”?

No but I did make a reference to the prior regime not really doing these end of the roster things to which Andy nodded. It was about DL tho (in my mind).

Wait, he's "basically" on board with tanking next season?

I mean... surely it's not news that he knows we're tanking right now? The guy's missed like 25 games with a bogus "back injury".

With regard to Lauri I have had a few thoughts. He clearly likes it here. He has had individual success and feels valued. Its likely a tremendous fit for his family life. I think he wants to be part of what we build more than maybe latching on to a winner elsewhere (at least for now) so has a long term perspective. A lot of this is me guessing/projecting obviously... but we've seen guys bounce around and be unhappy even when having more success. So I think he might be cool with one more tank year. The other guys (Sexton, Collins) should not. They are going to lose money if they are on this roster next year unless we extend them. I am not sure we make offers on either guy... but maybe if the price is right.
 
Having the 3rd voice made the podcast far better. Too bad the jazz haven’t found better players in the draft.
