hearing at least 20 teams are going to be at Friday's game to watch Lopez play

It was from me

I was there. It definitely wasn't a relaxed scrimmage.

I knew Rudy was getting traded 100 percent I was less sure about Donovan, but the Jazz got to a point where they knew they had to trade him

I'll try to help with this 1) Correct 2) 100 percent correct. Lauri doesn't want to be traded 3) The Jazz are picking a lane. Expect outside of Lauri to see the young guys get priority this season 4) Because Will Hardy 5) The reason they were after Bridges was because they had another...

hahahahaha......Ingram...incoming?

If the Jazz wanted Brandon Ingram, they could have had him months ago

ha! My bad!

A couple of reasons I'm not at liberty to say, but the overall sentiment is that Will Hardy unlocked his career, the Jazz have been very communicative to him concerning the overall plan and his family has taken to Utah

Which leads into the Jazz don't want to trade him. This hasn't been a Jazz are shopping Lauri thing. This has been the NBA has been pursuing Lauri thing. So the Jazz set a price, and either somebody meets it or they don't

No, the Jazz can trade him if they choose. What Lauri has control over is when he signs his extension, which means something over the coming season

Lauri Markkanen does not want to be traded. He wants to stay in Utah and play for the Utah Jazz.

He doesn't. He wants to stay in Utah.

After the Westbrook trade that was the second biggest mistake made by that front office. They make that trade, they might have another title by now

They tried really hard to trade D Lo when he opted into his contract, and nobody wanted him. I think not being able to move him hurt their flexibility in some ways. They and Portland went about halfway down the road with Grant, but Portland's asking price was pretty high
