We don't have to worry Lauri ain't gonna play, if he hurts something. Good for the future playoffs. But Lauri has family and should rest now. No need to play hero, when the season already was given away

There will undoubtedly be debate about whether we should extend Lauri or not this summer. I hope we can extend him. Because it’s so damn hard to find a player of his caliber with draft picks we would get for him.

Well, some people even on this board say we should trade him and build from there.
I can see the appeal. First, trade Lauri for a bunch of picks in 2031 and 2035. Then, draft a bunch of players, and then trade them for some more picks in 2042 and 2046. Finally, those players and future picks can be traded for more future picks in 2178 and 2573, and by then, the Jazz will be ready to compete. Hopefully I'll be reincarnated into a Jazz fan by then to see it.

Even if the plan is to trade him the jazz should extend him first.

The worst thing Jazz could do, would trade him to OKC, bc they are not going to get Chet iany imaginable package. Their core with addition of Lauri would seal their decade of dynasty. For sure, they are going to add another pieces some point, but there's no many such ideal bigs on market for them, than Lauri is.

There is logic in trading him. He may not fit our time line and keeping him may waste his career and by the time the young guys are ready to go he could be slowing down. So it’s possible we could benefit more by trading him. I’m not opposed to extending him but there’s risk either way you go.
