Today is the day that a team can be desperate and give away the bag.

Otherwise, Lauri’s team probably prefers to just wait it out 24 hours and sign the R+E tomorrow and lock him in with the Jazz for the foreseeable future.

The interesting move will be what the Jazz do AFTER they lock in Lauri. That will more or less determine what direction DA is planning to go this year.

Yep. This is what I’ve read. Lauri wants to wait past today to resign so he can’t be traded. So if someone is going to offer the bag with the kitchen sink it will be today.

I'm hoping what we have already done or more so not done is a sign that with or without Lauri this year is about getting the youngsters consistent minutes while a having a few vets to help keep them grounded. If there was a market for Clarkson I think he would have already been gone but he played his way out of that last year. The one move I could see us taking is a shot at Okoro and force the cavs to match but that is probably it other than maybe a few minimum contract guys.
 
Well, the extreme moves left would be.

1. Ingram (I like this for tanking if we force Lauri to play center primarily).
2.Steal Okoro from Cleveland using the available cap.
3. Kwahi. Get him cheap. I don't like it but it is an option.
4. Lavine (I want to like this move but the salary is high. If he can sit a year, get picks and can rehab his value, I love it.)
5. Trade Sexton to the Lakers for unprotections of the 2007 LAL.pick and an additional unprotected (I like this for tanking for the ultimate tank move).
