Does Lauri Get Traded?

It makes no sense to me that Lauri gets traded without his extension. His market gets so much deeper after that, and he gets paid more in line with his worth. The value would have to be incredible to pull the trigger today.

Players/Agents/Teams agree to these things before hand man. We just saw Siakim and OG stay with the teams that dealt a lot for them. These arent random events. Agents have power and trust of teams with these handshake deals.

It won’t be because his first year salary won’t be 18M.

What? His salary this year is $18,044,544, if they get a TPE that large or larger then they can absorb his deal. They would then be hoping to re-sign him as a UFA next offseason. No extension is happening there.

A lot less salary to match for the team trading for him. He won’t be trade eligible until next year most likely depending on when the trade deadline is.

How are they going to create a TPE that high?

Front load the contract.

They can always trade Looney and Payton, but I suppose ideally they'd like to keep both if they're actually going for another title. At least Payton.

Front load the contract.

Since it’s a sign-and-trade I guess it’s possible.

Oh, right. Nevermind.

TPE would be a dumb way to go about it even if Dallas had cap space.

I guess since it’s a sign-and-trade they could front load it? I’m not sure actually.

Yes, but unless he gets renegotiated, Lauri will stay at a lower salary slot moving forward. I'd imagine that is important for him.

It would have to match the outgoing salaries from Dallas, must it not?

I'll think he will be fine. He's getting paid next year regardless. I'm sure he would be very excited to join a team trying to contend. Im sure he wants the money, but he's never said it's money over everything.
