I'm going to miss Lauri if we trade him :(

Honestly, I dont want to trade lauri. He should be the primary building block for the future. He is my favorite player since Joe Ingles.

I just worry that the Jazz will not be able to put a team around him fast enough.

Ideally building a championship roster has to remain the priority and if that means tanking for a while longer and trading away some of the "older" players I will tray to understand.
 
They arent going to trade Lauri in the nearby future. Few reasons why:
  • His value is not descending, but ascending. Last year was great but showing that you can do it consistently while having a target on your back is better.
  • Even though Lauri is probably in his prime or close to it, the trade age clock isnt ticking yet. They have time to try and build up the current iteration and hunt for that "big missing piece" this team still needs.
  • I'm 96% sure Lauri would sign a new deal with the Jazz.
The idea that they want to hit the panic button and go full tank is the only real motivation they could have to trade Lauri right now. In any "smart value" scenario its better to trade his next contract, whch also gives you time to see what you got with this group.
 
Another buy low opportunity here for Tre Jones, who's been playing off the bench for the Spurs this season. Pop for some weird reason prefered Sochan who wasn't even a PG coming into the league.

I mean Jones surely isn't perfect but he does have the pefect profile of a floor general(5.7ast/1.4TO last season) that fits into what the Jazz is looking for and he only has just under 2 years left on his contract and soon needs to get paid. If the Spurs is locked in onto Sochan as their future starting point, Jones can probably be had at a very reasonable price

I like Tre Jones. Plays good defense on the perimeter despite his size hurting him on most matchups.

However he cant play with Sexton due to both being small, and he cant play with THT due to both being bad 3P shooters.. with Ochai there isnt enough off-the-dribble creation in that backcourt.

So he would have to play with JC most of the time. I think that would be a great pair, but the flexibility issues make me say no.
 
People nuts this site. Always want trade. Trade best player to get future best player to trade again. Nutcake fruits.

I think the Jazz would prefer to keep Lauri. They would move him, however, if they thought this were another Gordon Hayward situation where he might leave without giving the Jazz compensation. Jazz need to ask him if he'd like to be extended in Utah. If they can extend him, then great, keep him. He's got a good situation in Utah to be sure, and the Jazz have assets to improve the team once they add some more young talent.
 
I value Lauri more than Donovan, player for player. Part of Donovan's trade value was he had multiple years remaining on his contract. But, if we are going to trade Lauri due to vibes that he is not going to resign in Utah, I think it would have to be another huge haul in returning assets.

The Lauri trade talk is definitely heating up around the league.

The most intriguing (in terms of fit) Lauri trade talk I have read so far come from the Pacers’ fans who realize what Markkanen and Haliburton duo could do. Mike Conley once said that Lauri is a dream player for a playmaker. Lauri and Tyrese together would be a problem.
 
I wouldn't trade Lauri unless it was a stupid-good trade offer that's too good to pass up. It would have to melt the skin off of Ainge's face, exposing his cyborg metal.
