[NUMBERICA]

Cause Austin said we aren't tanking anymore. Gotta get to 30 wins and give up teh pick!!! So we basically have to run Lauri into the ground to get that almost play in worthy hallowed ground.

In no scenario should Lauri be playing back-to-backs, but especially if they’re riding him this hard.

We're probably going to move Lauri to the Heat for like Wiggins, Rozier's contract, 1 pick, 1 swap, and Ware (who will we probably dump elsewhere). This trade is an absolute fantasy. Ausar has more value by himself than Lauri.

(Lauri needing such a very motion heavy offense also limits his trade value a bit. I don't know if Detroit's nonstop Cade offense would fit him at all)

Is Miami Heat officially mentioned in possible trade destination for Lauri and has any Jazz inside reporter seen Heat management scouting Lauri in delta center.
Does Heat even have cap space for Lauri's contract and does they have assets to make a trade.

So far only ''young players'' what Heat has are
Kasparas Jakucionis ( Lithuanian PG )
Pelle Larsson ( Swedish guard )
Nikola Jovic ( Serbian guard )
Vladislav Goldin ( Russian center )
Kel'el Ware
Jaime Jaques jr.

Is heat ready to get rid any of those guys just to get another allstar next to Bam Adebayo.
Heat will have big problems to rid of Roziers contract now when he's involved that gambling scandal investigation and where Jazz need his contract? yeah nowhere.

Heat may be playoff team in eastern conference but they aren't championship contender yet.
So if Heat really wants Lauri they better be sure of that Lauri and Bam are good first two piece to build championship winning team otherwise trade doesn't make sense neither ( Jazz and Heat ).
