Moves are definitely more rare at this time of year, but I'd expect that DA is making sure to hold his cards closely until Aug 6th. Once that day comes, other moves could happen. We're working on a different schedule than the other teams.
 
My guy said this offseason could be an anomaly and we will likely see trades go down in August/September. Lauri is clogging up the situation for several teams but overall GM's are still digesting the CBA and new trade rules. There are players across the league that want to get traded off their current teams.

Maybe things will open up after Aug 6th when the Lauri situation is settled?

This. Say they are trying to get Lauri to sign on 8/6 you don't want to trade Walker or Sexton prior to that. You may bring up in that convo that "hey we will give you 200M but we may have to make roster moves after you do so as part of a long term strategy". So its part of the understanding that bearing with us is part of "what the money's for".

If GS or SA ponies up for Lauri by the extension date then you can do whatever. I still think Lauri would sign even if we made moves before 8/6 because $200M but I think you want to be clear and not rock the boat too hard. Once the extension is done it may trigger a handful of other transactions that may lead to us trading someone as well.

I think its clear we deal with the most important thing first and it has a definitive deadline/trigger date.

That and maybe the Olympics? Maybe teams want to make sure their stars come out healthy before making any deals.
 
Maybe not this off season but I don't see him as part of the future. He's what an 7th 8th guy on a contender?

This is a good point and has been in the back of my mind. Can you imagine GS pulling off a Lauri trade and then Steph breaks his leg like PG? Disaster potential.
