I mean, he was in THE original death lineup and has proven he's a legit player at his other stops.
Part of their tank was trading a healthy Monta Ellis for a injured and out for the season Andrew Bogut. Count it, don't count it, but it should be mentioned at least.

Nothing really updated... just that we are both in a staring contest and both think they can be patient.
Oh goody! The Great New York Standoff Pt 2: Days of our Lauri.

I would guess the Rockets
Which teams have some limited 1sts? I wonder if it was Atlanta. They have the Kings first that is protected and the lesser of the Bucks and Pelicans in 2027.

Bay Area edition so more of guys thinking they are smarter than you than being overtly bing bong in your face. Probably less entertaining.
 
I mean you can just protect your own first. Or put split protections on the pick you own from another team.
Teams hesitate to do that a little as it can encumber other picks. I was thinking of other teams that have some fake firsts like NY.
 
Confused cuz the article talks about the Warriors getting below the tax, which would cost assets, but somehow doing that will get them more assets for the trade?
 
If Walker is moved I am guessing it ends up being the hawks, pelicans, or lakers.

People really want Looney I guess. lol.
 
I just can't see anyone overpaying for Walker and it seems like that's what DA wants.

Maybe it works for the Hawks because they can overpay for Walker with the sweetener for them being us taking on Capella?
 
In no situation where both parties are rational is there a real possibility that Lauri walks with the possibility of an R&E that can give him a $24 million raise on just this season (and the Jazz are still way under the salary floor).

They can’t give him the contract and trade him to IND until the deadline. Any team that is trading for Lauri, which is what this thread is about, is taking on some degree of risk by trading for him in the off season.

Yeah it makes a lot of sense imo. Homecoming for Walker, JC makes sense for Atlanta, reunion with Quin. Capela we keep on the roster and keep him fresh for the trade deadline. Then either move him or waive him. Likely not getting anything for him but keep the contract just in case. Get the Kings pick which is solid but not spectacular.

We thin the herd.

My bad, I didn't connect that you were talking about IND through your whole post.

You have to get more than one pick. You cant give up Kessler and save the Hawks money for one mediocre pick.
 
Fairly dumb question: Can Lauri be traded prior the 6th and still get his extension from his destination team?
Only a fraction of what the Jazz can offer on his renegotiated 24-25 salary and only teams that still have cap room (there might not be any teams in the hunt that have cap space at this point, though, in which case, Lauri would be unable to receive a max extension).
