Potential Trade Targets

I mean if it wasn't for his off court issue, Giddey really should be on top of the list.

I know the THT experiment failed but Hardy definitely had his ideas behind that experiment. Well, Giddey has everything to succeed in what THT failed. His passing ability alone could have opened up a lot of plays that Hardy would like to run but couldn't due to lack of elite passer on the roster. He's also a very cut heavy guy who likes to run at a fast tempo which is tailor made for our system.

Could be right.

Didnt it come out that it happened his rookie year, and she was like 17 vs him being 19?

Either way OKC will have to make a decision soon cuz I think they are very much on board with the SGA/Chet/JDub trio. Giddey is the odd man out who also has his contract negotiation coming up. If they fail to agree to an extension, they might be forced to sell in the coming months.

They got another year before they forced to do anything with Giddey. I'm sure they will wait until next season or this upcoming off-season.

OKC still hastn seen their core in a playoff series, so I think they just hold.

Depends on how much they wanna pay him. They not gonna throw big money on who they consider as their fourth option and I don't think Giddey’s camp would appreciate being low balled by OKC either. I can see them moving him as early as this summer after they realize they would either move him for something now or losing him for nothing when he sign an offer sheet with another team that they are unwilling to match in 2025.
 
Just ran through the numbers real quick. We need to keep 15M clear to re-negotiate and extend Lauri. We have about 40M+. We can retain all the cap holds for KO, Tech, Dunn and still keep the 15M in space needed by about 3M. KO's cap hold is the only big one at 18M... and we could extend him after the deadline and his real salary would be lower than the cap hold.

If we want to do anything with space we likely trade KO or JC. We could move on from both, renegotiate Lauri, keep Tech and Dunn... and have about 35M in space to play with (depending on other moves) this summer.

What's the incentive for Lauri to do this? Wouldn't he get more money from the Jazz if he waits?

He can get a 15M raise next year for nothing. He can lock in a max (the same max he'd get) for the year after and following 4 years. So he'd potentially get $15M more over 5 years... he gets it a year earlier and locks in the generation altering money he would get anyway. Sabonis did this in the offseason. I would almost bet this has been brought up to his people and given some sign of interest on Lauri's part.

Its a no brainer for both.

Jazz need a wing who can facilitate, defend and make some shots. We're leaning heavily on Olynyk to do that stuff, but we're probably going to lose him at some point.

If the Jazz weren't in a hurry to win games this year, I'd like to see what Brice can do in an on-ball role with good players around him.
 
This how streak isn't making things easier for the FO. THT and Clarkson are the only players I'd try to move at this point. I'd keep KO if we can't replace him with another player who can pass the ball. And I'd keep Dunn as well.
