Does Lauri Get Traded?

It

I think he also sees the vision with Danny and wants to be part of it.

I see the Jazz's rebuild as a hybrid of New York and OKC

I think so too I just hope they are honest with him and don’t lose that trust. I also think they could be honest extend him and say “if it’s not working out we won’t hold you hostage”. I think he likes being the man… even if we aren’t winning as much as he’d like.

If Lauri gets traded it's because he won't sign an extension. I'm pretty confident that the Jazz want to sign him. I think Lauri wants to sign as well, but not as confident.

I'm pretty sure once he signs he can't be traded for 6 months, correct?

His extension wouldn’t go in effect until August 6th. He would be trade eligible again right before the 2025 trade deadline.

I think the most likely plan this offseason is we sign Miles Bridges, extend Lauri, and trade Clarkson. How many wins is that team getting?

I'm too much of an optimist to answer this seriously.

I'm leaning towards no but if the rockets come at us with an offer of Jabari Smith, 2025 suns/ thunder/ rockets swap, 2027 suns pick, 2027 nets/rockets swap, 2029 Suns/Mavs pick then I can't see the front office passing.

I feel like if Keyonte and Kessler make meaningful leaps and they sign Bridges (who becomes better in a more serious organization) then a sneaky playoff run is very possible

Probably 35-40 wins. I highly doubt Bridges is in play though. The hornets already took the PR hit bringing him back last year so I would be surprised if they don't throw a big contract at him.

No. I’m only confident because Lauri’s contract status is sub-optimal for extracting peak value. I think they RnE and eye the market over the following 6 months.

He’s definitely in play from what I have heard. It’s just a matter of if he wants to play here vs Charlotte/Detroit.

 

[NUMBERICA]

Yeah, but if a team comes just shy if the Bridges offer are they going to say no?

I think they pull the trigger on something in the realm of the Bridges package. I don’t think anyone’s offering that right now.

Yeah but if we aren't trading him now it feels like the window is over. The Jazz roster of young players will start pushing the team to be pretty good just on the merits of their own talent (fingers crossed). I don't see another year if tanking after this season.

This post got me bricked up

Fischer put out an article just now with a section about Utah. Honestly nothing to glean from it over than just another source saying Utah is looking to add another talent next to Markkanen opportunistically. Said if they cant other teams hope they will deal Lauri

Danny has never traded a player for a cent less than what the market would suggest (usually gets significantly better), even to the organization’s detriment (holding out on Conley/Lakers then saving the Wolves). That is all I know for sure, so if the package isn’t there (which is hard to believe under his current contract status), it isn’t happening (yet?).

We were in on Mikal Bridges and Dejounte Murray trade talks last trade deadline. We’re obviously looking to improve the roster.

He also walked on both.

The key in Fischer’s intel is Danny is interested in opportunistically getting stars. Good luck in a market that fetches a super role player 5 picks and a swap.

My belief is Danny is praying that an offer like that drops from the heavens for Lauri in part so that he can save face. But it’s not going to if he goes out and starts shopping him (nor would Ryan let him).

He’s not going to overpay which I appreciate. That was an insane package for Mikal Bridges.

Which is why we’re going to sign someone in free agency like Miles Bridges.

I don’t think we are looking for a discount but a fair price. I think there is a good reason the Knicks went as high as they did. I bet our offer was nothing to sneeze at.

Ya know, LaVine (and some filler and sweeteners) for double-JC is looking better and better in contrast

I don’t think we land the plane with Miles. But there is no doubt they will try. I think a more desperate team matches or exceeds what we offer.
