Does Lauri Get Traded?

Does Lauri Get Dealt Before The Season Starts?

One small conspiracy theory. Lauri's team wasn't enthused about the extension and asking for the full raises yada yada and also maybe voicing displeasure over how the rebuild is going. The rumors will have him nervous about losing the big payday and he will circle back and let them know he wants to be here. We then are able to agree to the extension numbers and stop taking calls.
 
One way to increase the pool of teams would be to offer to take on more salary to help a team get under the cap enough to be able to do the R&E. We would need more picks for us to do this, but might be a way to get a deal done with OKC for example.

If the Jazz were R+E Lauri, this would have been a move to make.

Yeah... there have been a handful of those. I get openly mocked whenever I say "we could have done that" but yeah... they got Green for nothing. Even without Lauri that is still a decent piece of business. Way better than getting Collins for nothing.
 
I do think Lauri will get trade. At the end, i'm pretty sure he want to win and he will get a max extension here or with another team. I also think he may have been quite frustrated since 2 years with our one step forward, 2 step behind strategy. Top players like him play for money but also to win games. Being mediocre for another 2 or 3 years will kill his best years. At that stage, i hope for him he got trade to a good team and that we finally do the tank we should have done 2 years ago.
