He feels very much like an Ainge guy as well....I'm fine with either. I want the picks and I want as good of a chance as possible at the next two drafts.

Didn’t Kuminga say he wasn’t happy with Kerr back in like January?
It's not a secret that both Kuminga and Moody were unhappy with their roles.
Here's what you're likely referring to:
Warriors' Jonathan Kuminga reportedly 'losing faith' in Steve Kerr, and he's not the only unhappy young player
Kuminga had 16 points Thursday night, but stayed on the bench as the Warriors blew a big lead vs. Denver

Lauri isnt getting traded to GSW. He's going to SAS or he is staying in Utah.

Why would that be? To put to rest the "will we trade you" boogeyman for the whole season?
I'm all for Lauri's peace of mind, but leaving open the desperation god father trade deadline deal is hard to pass up
They may be Lauris camp in that quote
To clarify, "They" is Lauri's camp, not the Jazz. Besides that....the podcast was kind of a nothing burger.
Yeah… guess the way I worded it isn’t the best.

I mean they doubled the number of LeBron Jameses they have this off-season, what more do you need?

That would be smart of Lauri if he really wants to have some stability. On the other hand the team that trades for him at the deadline would likely be in a position to go to the playoffs, and at that point he would already have a bag.
It's a unique situation, can't remember anything like this. I can see him wanting some stability, but he might also lock himself into a tanktastic team instead of having the opportunity to get traded to a winning team. Does he want that? The Jazz haven't made an effort to get better, so I'd imagine that if he does wait to sign, he is doing so with full knowledge of the Jazz upcoming plans.

Yes, I would fully expect him to be on board with getting slimy. To some degree he already had gotten on board the last two years and still wants to extend, so we might really get the both of best worlds (Lauri + top 5 pick).
