Does Lauri Get Traded?

[Handlogten's Heros]

I love Podz and think we should be demanding him right now....but when August 6th comes around, I think I'd be OK taking all the picks + Moody.

I would understand it. I would probably prefer an alternate tank route though and extend Lauri. I think Podz is the pivot point in the deal and GS gotta decide if they want to let that get in the way of competing in Steph's golden years.

I don’t see a deal happening neither.

Also Lauri could be the perfect mentor to Cody, cause of that I put the chance at him being traded at less than 10%.

Also we have no use for Podz, we’ve got Collier and Keynote who are already diminutive guards.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

Unless they are moving Kuminga to a 3rd team with an overpay package coming back to the Jazz, there is no deal without Podz.

No one will want to pay for Kuminga. You see teams balking at paying guys already this summer. No one wants to guess on an extension right now and he could still be a mystery box next year that gets an offer that makes you queasy. I'm guessing the offer would be like 1 first straight up.

Then nothing is going to happen. I think there is probably a better offer out there than just a first.

Maybe the Spurs have some interest? That would be the team that makes the most sense to me. Maybe the Hornets? I'm thinking of the bad/young teams who have been tanking for a while and might want to push the team forward with more mature young talent. The Raptors (he has Masai Guy written all over him)?

If we go the trade Lauri route then fit wouldn't matter at that point. I like Keyonte and Collier but neither is confidently the starting piece of the future. Get all the best players you can and see who makes the jump

I saw this trade on Fanspo and I think this is what would probably be the basement of what they would accept.

Jazz get 3 first, Moody/Podz/Boucher, and two swaps. Two first from Warriors in 26/28 and the Indiana first in 26.

I just think we need to be realistic about how much Lauri can yield through trade. He's not worth Wemby + 10 FRP. The Warriors "all the picks" is already right there with what the Knicks traded for Bridges. Then you add in Moody on top of that who is not worth nothing. Of course you ask for everything, but expecting more than Bridges "godfather" offer seems unrealistic. Moody+all the picks already meets/exceeds the Bridges package. We're not getting Podz+Moody+all the picks. So any trade with Podz you're also losing pick value.

Unless the Jazz already have deals for Sexton/Kessler lined up, I'm really not to excited about entering the season as is. And I'm the one saying we're still likely going to suck.

We don't have to trade Lauri.

We don't have to trade Lauri.

And not once did I say that. We're picking between two paths, you choose the best one.

The best one is almost certainly not trading him for an underwhelming package just because that's the best offer on the table. A package without Podz really isn't worth discussing unless we're in a position where we have to trade him.

Well, everyone can have their own opinion on that. If Podz is in the deal, we’re certainly getting less picks. I don’t think Lauri is worth significantly more than Bridges nor do I think he will yield that through trade. To me, all the picks + Moody is not underwhelming. OTOH, going into the season as we are isn’t this incredible option that I’m in love with.

To me, all the picks + Moody is not underwhelming.

If the Jazz were willing to trade Lauri for that garbage offer, he'd be long gone by now.
