Trade ideas

I don't know how much they value Horford (he plays 26 minutes per game, so not insignificant, but if they trade for Olynyk, what then?), but with him they could do a good salary match (Walsh and Horford works).

Olynyk is expiring. If the Jazz and he aren't mutually interested in re-signing I think the Jazz will move him for whatever. Jazz know they're not really a playoff team at this point. The schedule is about to turn more difficult and should point this out all the more clearly. This will open up more minutes for Hendricks.

I don't understand why OKC would not do whatever it takes to get Lauri. They have more picks then they can possibly utilize. When you have the right player available, package picks and get the ideal player you need to move your team to the next level.

Lauri is the perfect pick for them:
  • Height/length matchup nightmare
  • Youth/fits timeline
  • Athletic
  • High shooting % at all three levels
  • Great contract
OKC Future 1st round picks

Maybe one reason why OKC hasn't yet went all in to get Lauri
is Josh Giddey's off the court case which is PR issue ( read media problem ) for OKC.

I think OKC wants first to know is Giddey a guilty or not and what's trade market for him to get rid of his contract.
Lauri's zero experience of NBA playoffs is also one factor which can cause that OKC will not give 5 1st round picks for the jazz because Lauri is not ''battle-tested'' to playoffs.
