I kind of debated making a "Should we stick with Collins and trade Lauri" thread. Wrote it all out and everything, but then deleted it.

Lauri is having a bad year, but his value is just undeniable and unique. A 7 foot Klay Thompson just changes the court in a way that few other players can.

I also dont really want a slew of questionable young talent to go with our slew of questionable young talent. If you can get a true blue chip rookie contract player for Lauri, then I would think about it, but that isnt Jabari Smith/Reed Sheppard (IMO).

I think teams should do more competitions for money for half-time shows. Take the money you would pay a performer, and grab people from the stands and have them do some basketball related competition for cash prize.

Agree... that stuff is fun. Just need a good in arena host tho.

I've legit had the thought that if you got something for Lauri and got Collins at 50% of the cost of Lauri... that might be something. Rather than offloading John for basically nothing.

If they really think this is year one of the rebuild they should shop Lauri pretty hard. I think that is a BS line to justify their half assed tanks but whatevs.

The problem is nobody is trading us a blue chip prospect for Lauri. Unfortunate but this is coming from the optimism king.
 
Haven’t finished but already have a lot of comments. The first one is if we’re going for it next year, the Jazz should really try to get their pick from OKC back before the season starts (or at the deadline if things are going very well).

Then we should just keep him.

Ya I still believe in Lauri.
Seems like many jazz fans now think he isn't very good anymore because of his performance this season.
I think his performance this season is part of tanking and when we aren't tanking we will be very glad to have him on the roster.

When you were taking about Harper you reminded me of a dream I had recently. We got the 2nd pick in the lottery and on draft night when we selected Harper they zoomed in to his face he looked so disappointed.

It was both a good and bad dream.
