Wait why is Paul saying he won’t be back with the clips. He already knows after 5 minutes that Philly are offering a better deal… how? It would be illegal for them to already have had conversations. Why would the risk a severe tampering penalty?

The coverage is that the Clips aren't welcoming him back but are willing to work on a sign and trade scenario with him.
 
Yeah, can’t say the Lowe clip makes me think a Lauri trade is any more likely. It’s the same “teams are calling, Jazz don’t want to trade him” talk we’ve been hearing for a long time. Like if one of these guys can talk about a Lauri trade without saying it won’t happen in the same 10 second time span, I will start thinking the tone is changing.

Why would Philly work a sign and trade unless the clips give them something… they can just sign him outright. The opt in and trade scenarios are dead.

It was unprompted though. They were talking about Philly.

I think this big plot by Philly only exists in your head.

Look there are things I know and things I don’t know. The things I know could logically extend to the scenario that I’m not sure will or has happened. But it won’t be because nba players can’t relay messages and that GMs are afraid to tamper.

Yep. I agree. If George wants to go anywhere else he may need their help, however. Clips are likely screwed though. You hate to see it. . .

The tone has absolutely changed from say the trade deadline to now. Before it was “they are shutting down all interest” to “keep an eye on this situation and teams are calling”. They have to say the second part so people don’t get wild. I still think it’s very unlikely.

NBA Trade Rumor: No one is untouchable for the Utah Jazz, will take a lot for Lauri Markkanen

The Hoop Collective had a lot to say about the Utah Jazz
www.slcdunk.com www.slcdunk.com

They went on to talk about how no one on the Jazz is untouchable in trade talks. Players like Kelly Olynyk and Kris Dunn were mentioned but the big name they talked about is Lauri Markkanen. MacMahon says the chances are slim that Markkanen gets moved because of how much it would take to get him. If someone gives the Jazz an offer they’d be dumb to turn down is basically what it will take.

This coincides with what we’ve heard with other reports.

This was back in January.
