It's just a guess but the Jazz have been signaling to other GM's that their extra cap is not available for dumps. So we have been guessing what their scheme has been and this has been one of the guesses.

Just numbers. If we just had 11 million in cap I think the Cavs would match him but at 15 million they would have serious cap issues.

So that is 15 million available in cap money this year. Looks like it is Okoro that is the next move or an unforeseen dump.

A well rested Lauri at his peak and soft early schedule versus all the worn-out past their peak all stars doesn't mean more losses for the Jazz. The Jazz could start fast and then slowly fade back in the standings.

Lauri is well rested unlike many other all-stars in the Olympics. Technically he could get us some wins early on.

And, I think most will hate this....but I love the unconventional. In a trade with the Pels I would offer Collins and the Pels the 2025 Utah pick if the Jazz fall in the 8 or 9 position only. That is just outside the all-star range and we save all the other picks and it would be super...

Marketing for their own fans. They knew they would never get him. The only risk is that Steph may I overreact.

The West is overloaded. You just have to be very weak at a couple spots to tank. Trade Sexton, Walker, Collins, JC and the tank is on. Regardless if we have Ingram or not. We get the high pick this year and then start the transition the next year and just hope the swaps help us for 2026.

I am sorry Kessler, Collins...it is time we play Lauri center full time this season. It would drain his effectiveness so we lose more games.

Well, the extreme moves left would be. 1. Ingram (I like this for tanking if we force Lauri to play center primarily). 2.Steal Okoro from Cleveland using the available cap. 3. Kwahi. Get him cheap. I don't like it but it is an option. 4. Lavine (I want to like this move but the salary is high...

Does the R&E get treated like a signing for trade purposes? If he extends do we get the magical 24hrs window to trade him to another team before it solidifies? If so, could we see Wiggins in Utah?

Guess away. Something for sure is being schemed.

I read a scrub twitter article saying Collins + Clarkson for Ingram but would be done after the Lauri extension. Not sure I believe but I am a Ingram fan especially if we make sure we can temporarily lower our defensive abilities. But ... I don't know what the FO wants to do, we just may be...

I want the Jazz to stink for two years but still acquire talent.

Cough, cough Zach Lavine..cough I would do a John Collins + Space for Zach and picks. And then a Walker, Sexton, Scrub for Ingram. Embrace the high offense, low defense suckage. Unrelated point, Cooper Flag's strong suit is defense (natural pivot point as we can add defense with him with all...

Hmm..hmmm...so we keep him around. Tank commander at the 5. If Kessler isn't starting then his stats are not as impactful. I would do this if we trade Kessler AND we felt we couldn't trade Collins. But I do think we could trade him next year

Well the excellent shot is still there and his great timing on cuts. But yeah maybe it diminishes his impact on offense. The dude has had a whole summer to gear up and prepare for this season. He might surprise us. I give it a low possibility but it could happen.

Not a sure thing that it happens. I am just saying Lauri and Hardy could surprise us this season. It is not a strong possibility but if he could be decent defensively at the 5 (not likely) then the tank could be in trouble.

Just a FYI. If Kessler and Collins are traded to help the tank then Hardy may hurt the tank by having Lauri play center full time and Taylor helping on weak side defense. It may backfire and Lauri has bulked up heavily and might be able to handle the pounding and would punish centers with his...

the Jazz can only get "the guy" through the draft or a great trade. Trading for Ingram is a great value trade and I wouldn't pass it up. I would however trade all our high level experienced competitors except Lauri once we obtain Ingram. Kessler, Sexton, etc. I would trade them away.
