Trade ideas

I’m beginning to think we should just trade Lauri. Jazz is a mess. I don’t think we will be able to surround him with championship pieces in the next 2 years. He will be an 8-9 year vet then. DA is a bargain hunter, he waits, offers, but doesn’t easily give in. Jazz future is along Kessler, Ochai, keyonte, hendricks and whoever we draft.
 
I can't figure this year out at all. Last year when the tank was on the Jazz were playing lineups of Dok, Check, Ochai, Dunn, THT, Luka, Juzang, Potter and two spare lawn chairs we acquired from the Lakers and were at least competitive. Did Hardy suddenly turn stupid?
 
I would not say Hardy is stupid. A bit stubborn sometines yes. But i think he really don't find the good rotation yet. LAst one was better ( except JC shooting way too much). We have to many not good enough PG. Will be time to make some moves before dadline. 2 options : make the team better ( if our record is too bad, it may not be the perfect time), or go full tank.
 
What the hell do anyone think is going to happen playing together a non-point-guard-slasher-non-shooter as point guard with a non-shooter-slasheras a forward and a do-nothing-with-the-rock-without-a-defender-in-6-feet? Coach experiment has been atrocious. We've been the ultimate space killers.
 
Ok if the Jazz wanted to try to win and get back into the playoff picture would you get into the trade for KAT?
No... I hate watching him so much. He's just so cringy and awkward. I just can't do it.
 
Look going on with the theme of Thrifter Danny... we will end up with Zach Lavine or KAT or someone super flawed star because they are on sale. It will lead us to the promised land... if the promised land is 40 something wins and a 4-1 first round loss i the playoffs.
 
I’ve read this thread and probably read this discussion but my memory tonight is a goldfish. Would Philadelphia be interested in Clarkson? They’ve got a lot of filler contracts and I presume they have some kind of draft capital after the Harden deal, unless they bankrupted themselves getting him in the first place.

Yeah.. when guys like that are available, there's a very good reason. Repeating other teams' mistakes doesn't make any sense.
 
I love Lauri and want him to stay if possible.....but if I was offered Amen Thompson and Cam Whitmore + picks and/or fillers. I'd listen.
 
To be honest I came into last year not caring if the Jazz won or lost. I was not emotionally invested. Then they out performed and I began rooting for wins. Then they traded made the trades and I was rooting for loses.

I came into this year hoping for the playoffs and now I want losses.

Markkanen is one of my favorite players in a long time. But if it would help secure a better future I think I would trade him.

Back to the emotional Rollercoaster.

I think the biggest thing that defends not trading Lauri is how old man Ainge might be one of the few GMs that can ever land a legit star to SLC via trades. His reputation has been to build winners. Without this caliber of a GM the only sensible move would be to trade Lauri and cash in the multiple 1sts. With Ainge on board this still can go well even if the team holds on to Finnisher.
