What's new

Game Thread Oct 13, 2025 07:00PM MT: Dallas Mavericks @ Utah Jazz (Preseason)

Added to Calendar: 10-13-25

Let's assume Lauri starts, even if his minutes are limited tonight. Presumably, the good news is that this should take Svi out of the starting lineup.

I just get this nagging feeling that there might be a Walker trade brewing, and that's why he's not playing. I believe he can be extended up until opening day, so maybe a team takes a chance and does a trade/extend in the next couple of days?

There hasn't been a lot of trade noise around Walker. There's been some noise and speculation around Lauri. I suppose if there's a team that wants to extend Walker at a number his camp likes, and the Jazz and he are really far apart, then that might make some sense. One team I could see making a push would be the Warriors, since Horford is 39 and undersized. Plus they're intent on trading Kuminga. Of course, that would reunite Walker with Steve Kerr. Not sure how that works. Maybe Charlotte or Orlando are other relevant teams. If the Jazz send him to Washington, that helps take the Wizards out of the tank race.
