Lauri Markkanen, no longer considered untouchable?

But your basically saying Markkanen is more valuable than Mitchell?

To the Jazz? Yes. To other teams? Maybe.

If Mitchell wanted to stay with the Jazz and liked it here we would not trade him.

We got more than 3 picks for Mitchell. Are you really this stupid? 3 late round 1st is not even close to enough for Lauri. Keep in mind we got Lauri for Mitchell along with 3 1st, 2 swaps, 1 more 1st from the previous draft in Agbaji, and Sexton.

You've been a Lauri hater since day 1. At this point I think you might be a Jazz hater now. That's what you sound like. Maybe just self loathing.
 
I have no interest in trading Lauri. The whole timeline excuse is dumb. He’s not 28.5 or 29.5 years old. He’s 26.5. He should have another six+ peak years in him. And if we trade him we don’t have one top 2-3 player on a title contending team. Not one. He’s clearly one. We have that. We just need to develop the rookies and turn Keyonte into player 2 on a title contending team.

If I’m trading anyone it’s John Collins and if he starts playing better, possibly, Walker Kessler.

Trading away a guy guarantees nothing. What might it net us? The 9th pick? How does that guarantee anything? How amazing has Hendricks been? The 3rd pick? How was Kanter? The 5th pick? How was Exum?

We have a legit stud now. We just need to exhibit patience and not so simply develop the young guys and nail drafts.

He had that combover for like 20 years.
 
If you trade Lauri for a haul of draft capital, then every single year for the next six years you can package assets and move up. Potentially quality or even a potential all-star is in the mix every year. It could be an insane return (not Lauri by himself but the collective effect).

I'm extremely bipolar when it comes to Lauri.

At any given point in time I'm like... why would you trade 6-8 years of Lauri for 3-4 great picks and to truly tank for a few years... then a few minutes later I'm like... yeah what are we even building here... how do we get a better player than Lauri to pair with Lauri while in his prime?

This **** is hard.
