Does Lauri Get Traded?

[Saint Cy of JFC]

I'm completely fine with keeping Lauri too. I just think SAS is the only team who can put together a package I'm truly enthused by.

Get SAS and GSW in a bidding war for Laurie

Absolutely. HOU and OKC should get in here too.

If we end up getting in a legit conversation with the spurs I would expect the rockets and thunder to step in with a big offer to try and block. I still prefer the clippers pick/swaps and suns picks over anything the spurs have.

That's why SAS has to come in with an offer so strong Utah doesnt want to shop it around. An offer you have to take upon being receiving.

Now I definitely feel like the tone is changing. SAS picks are interesting, I think GSW might still be more interesting.

lol now that it’s a 2x4 to the dome you think it’s a tone change? It had already changed and this is the natural progression.

He was a massive part of it brother. I doubt Lauri becomes an all-star if the Jazz dont have that winning stretch to start the year and that stretch doesnt happen without Conley, so you are wrong

Wasn’t Rudy Gay on that team too? Guess we go build him a statue. Yes, Conley does help winning which is why saving Minnesota was a mistake. But, Lauri’s breakout is because of Lauri.

Ok now you're just being a dumbass. Congrats.

We wouldn't be hurting Lauri with the trade. He gets his money sooner and he goes where he can win. Plus we get some high quality shots with those picks too.

It's basically impossible to hurt Lauri with a trade. Anywhere he goes will be a contender and he will get paid by someone either this year or next. His feelings are safe.

The tone even during February DL was that if you make offer big enough, DA will take it.

The best argument you could make here would be that DA pushed the Bridges offer up to actually get the Lauri offer he wanted to receive all along. I would probably buy that.

I didn't think it had. Like I said before, if the media would stop mentioning a Lauri trade without the caveat of "it's not gonna happen", I would feel like something has changed. We had heard that teams were calling, but the Jazz were not interested and it was not happening for a long, long time.

Quin has never won without Rudy Gobert and they passed on getting the closest proximity to Gobert in the draft. They are a play in team at best again and the East is powering up.

But while a play-in team pick is fine and all, I don't see it as enough to tempt me to move Lauri. I don't really see any way Atlanta are really bad.
