Does Lauri Get Traded?

[mhindy]

It doesn't always help the jazz that much, but it does make this kind of deal a lot more costly for whoever trades with us. Being locked into back end of the first round alternating with no pick at all for six or seven years is going to make it TOUGH to add talent.

Basically reduces a lot of the variance of the swap, that normally benefits the team trading them.

It's somewhat more valuable, but in certain situations (that the Jazz could be in) it doesn't move the needle all that much.

Say the Jazz have 6th pick, the 22nd pick (Cavs), 25th pick (Wolves) and then get to superswap with with Warriors (who with Curry and Markkennen are at 21). The superswap helps a small bit, but it's really kind of meh.

All of this is a dice roll. You do what you can to weigh the dice.

This Golden State chatter has been going on for like three days. That's a long time in the trade-discussion business.

We went down this road with the Knicks. Then, a rando team jumped the shark. Just watch the Hornets come out with Lauri.

All your firsts and swaps feels like it gets anyone awfully close.

That’s part of the magic, if there’s a serious downturn, they are in danger of perpetually sending better and better picks. Super swaps basically guarantee that they’re stuck in the back of the 1st round whether they’re decent or terrible.

But yeah, even with Super swaps, 2025 might only marginally improve one of the picks, if at all. That is one year of seven.

Furthermore, the Jazz have plenty of dice rolls. Weighing the ones they have is probably as good or better than more rolls.

Wish I had the skills to make a image/meme out of this typo.

But seriously, yeah the superswap makes more sense in some situations than others. I wouldn't say it makes all that much sense for the Jazz until after 2027 (though it is good for unforseen downfalls).

Salt City Hoops is a clown show. I expect better from Andy Larsen.

Hes doing some math now and doing better.

And sometimes you end up swapping 27 for 1 and trade back for another valuable pick and end up with jayson tatum and win a title.

Warriors have drafted in the lottery 3 of the last 7 years. This is with prime Steph, Klay, Green, and KD for a few years. Yeah when it goes from 25 to 21 whatevs. Sometime in that 7 years you are getting a lottery pick or two.

So a swap would be sufficient here, yeah?
