Keeping Lauri seems increasingly pointless

[Coach Ellis]

I sure hope he didn’t feel like getting ~2 picks, 2 swaps, Kuminga, and Moody is LOSING a trade. I think it’s more the case that if he doesn’t embarrass the other team then it’s not worth it which is a really stupid way to go about business and was a criticism of his methodology before he was even here.

IF that actually was the deal - he should’ve taken it. For sure. It’s what I eventually came around to last year and why I think they should have traded him. Oh well. We’ll never truly know.

If I'm Lauri i'd request a trade. Secretly

...and then he launches back into All-Star mode next year when the team pivots to trying to win again.

Do you actually believe this?

The Jazz aren't pivoting anywhere for several years.
