To clarify, "They" is Lauri's camp, not the Jazz. Besides that....the podcast was kind of a nothing burger.

That would be smart of Lauri if he really wants to have some stability. On the other hand the team that trades for him at the deadline would likely be in a position to go to the playoffs, and at that point he would already have a bag.
 
Fisher did say the Kings were close. Keegan and their version of "all the picks" would be a good offer. Having control of the Kings draft is compelling. I'm guess the Kings did not want to trade Keegan though and it was a holdup.

It's a unique situation, can't remember anything like this. I can see him wanting some stability, but he might also lock himself into a tanktastic team instead of having the opportunity to get traded to a winning team. Does he want that? The Jazz haven't made an effort to get better, so I'd imagine that if he does wait to sign, he is doing so with full knowledge of the Jazz upcoming plans.

Yes, I would fully expect him to be on board with getting slimy. To some degree he already had gotten on board the last two years and still wants to extend, so we might really get the both of best worlds (Lauri + top 5 pick).

I don’t think it’s a stretch to say that winning might not be at the very top of his priority list for the here and now. He seems to like Utah, and has kids that are theoretically entering school age. I’d pretty easily settle for $40M+ a year and some stability if I were him at this point in life, with the very real possibility of winning in the next 3-5 years

And how exactly did you calculate this "very real possibility of winning in the next 3-5 years"? At the moment the Jazz have absolutely nobody on the team (besides Lauri) who could be one of three players on not even a contender but simply a perennial playoff team. And none of the young players shows clear promise that they can become this player in 3-5 year.

Or did you mean that in 3-5 years the Jazz can conceivably make playoffs and simply making playoffs would count for winning? Again, based on what?

Speaking of teams that are desperate, are the Lakers just not going to do anything to improve?

Lmao and what cap or assets do they have to use to make the team better exactly. Yes they have been rumored or linked to every allstar guard there is but let’s be real, nothing on those fronts were ever going to happen.
