Does Lauri Get Traded?

I dont think we get edgecomb if we keep lauri. I think you need to pencil in 9 - 10th pick

Not, if all of Sexton, Kessler and Collins, and Clarkson on board. Too much upside for Hardy to run overweak eastern teams+ Jazz home games. I see 32-33 wins season ahead, including trade deadline panic sale to lose in the end. Danny either has to sell Lauri or Kessler+ one veteran not Lauri.

So you’re saying when we are trying to lose, we don’t play him?

Nope, Im saying the data needs more context. For instance, lets say lauri misses a game when we are playing guys like luka samanic, and yurtseven, and juzang heavy minutes normally. Well, we probably lose that game with or without him.
But if he misses a game when we are playing conley, KO, and simone as a big part of the rotation and we lose then that would be mean more imo.
Also the quality of the opposition would add further context

...should be enough to put the Jazz on an upward trajectory in a couple years. Obviously, it would be great to get one of Flagg, Dybantsa, Boozer, etc., but no matter what the Jazz do the odds of that happening are pretty slim.

FWIW there is a decent chance that Dybantsa will play college basketball in PROvo utah. Ainge and Ryan would get lots of good chances to really get to know him if thats the case.

I just don't think a deal gets done here. Being the only team able to extend Lauri just changes the value prop so much imo. I would just tell the Warriors its final call next week and then hammer out the details of the extension so its completely ready for August 6th.

I mean just looking at our summer league performance, I'm pretty confident that we will be in the Flagg sweepstakes by the end of the season even if we keep Lauri. That summer league roster plus JC, Lauri and Sexton is not gonna get us over 30 wins in a NBA season.

And I honestly dont think they compete for a ring next year even if they get lauri. Just my opinion.

If I were a professional basketball player, I'd have to at least consider playing with Steph as a life goal. After he's gone? Not so much.

All depends on how the team is coach/managed from a minutes perspective.

You can probably create a solid 8 man rotation if Clarkson has a bounce back year and Collins builds on his 2nd half of the season last year.

I would assume the Jazz will trade Sexton to someone once the Lauri stuff is settled either by trade or the R&E

As a Warriors fan, would you want Dunleavy to pay what DA is trying to squeeze out of him?

As a Jazz fan I hope they do, but wont fault them if they dont.

No, but I would want to know if they’re even serious about contending or just riding out Curry’s golden years.

If its podz and picks... they should pay that. Lauri is basically perfect for them. Outside of like Giannis/KD I think he is the one guy they could get that turns them into a legit contender if things break right for them.

Solves their big depth/lack of shooting from their bigs by being 7 foot Klay Thompson. They could run the same actions and the gravity it would create away from the paint could be devastating alongside the best shooter in history.

The biggest problem will be serious minutes of inexperienced guards and lack of glue players like Simone and KO were. But... Hardy has proved to be a very competent coach, so unless anyone goes out, he just might decide the not-so-ready rookies ain't getting heavy minutes. It's also fairly possible one of them will be earlier than expected to be impactful on the floor. Theres few of them in every draft class

West is stacked, east nit so much, but Jazz is also a really strong home team, so with the current roster build, bottoming in the worst five teams in league won't be a gimme, not at all

That's why my knock-off tone'o'meter shows 27,5% for Lauri getting traded.

And they'd still have some upside with Kuminga. They'd need Dray and Wiggins to lock in and they would be on to something I think. Hield, Melton, Andersen isn't a bad bench group.

I just think we will view Lauri as an AS with a 5/240M contract and another team views him as an AS with a 1 year deal that you can hopefully extend. The offers I hear on podcasts and twitter just aren't enough (not that those are the end all be all). If Podz has a Walker Kessler second year stagnation they will wish they had "sold high".
