Jackpotting Around Podcast: Episode 38 - Fake Trade Ideas - Lauri Markkanen

[Saint Cy of JFC]

I think a Lauri trade is more likely after that Austin Ainge presser. Surely we're not trying to tank w/Lauri without some manipulation.

One must be true:

1) We trade Lauri
2) We trade for another star to add to Lauri
3) Cold blooded liar (respect)

If we played Lauri all 82 games this past season how many more games do you think the Jazz win? The West is still stacked. They can lose enough games to keep their pick without tanking as aggresively as they did. Or they can figure out how to trade Sexton/Collins and be fine just playing a ton of rookie contract players w/ Lauri.

If he maintained the lower level of play that's probably 4-6 wins. Somebody needs to be traded if you want to tank, that's for sure. Would be malpractice to keep the vets and not tank.
