Does Lauri Get Traded?

[sip]

I like holding out for JK

I think that kills the deal. Podz, Moody and 4 unprotected 1sts is a great deal in my opinion.

To get him to a 30% max 15.2M is the minimum. He could take less than that this year but would be getting less than the 30% max in total.

Thanks, I think it's a safe assumption he isn't taking less.

The Jazz have 39MM in cap space, so theoretically I think we could take in 39MM over Lauri's contract, so a team with 24MM over the line could get below the line enough to R&E Lauri (at the expense of giving up even more draft capital to us).

That theoretically adds Philidelphia, Houston, Memphis, OKC, Charlotte, Orlando, SAS, and Detroit

FWIW, I don't think we would take on 39MM+ in salary unless it was expiring which makes this scenario unlikely for Philidelphia, Houston, and Memphis, but something I definitely could see happening for OKC.

Also, just listened to the latest Windy pod and no mention of Lauri.

Son, we ain't looking for "great." We looking for you so ashamed for doing business with DA that you can't look yourself in the mirror.

I'm good with great.

Let's just hope DA doesn't show up to your garage sale.

Keeping him would still be my preference if that was the best offer.

You know he’s hearing things

Interesting, Philadelphia doesn’t have that much salary to send out though so they can get taken off the list.

Notable David Locke seemed to open the door wide open on a trade on his pod this am

It's fairly safe to say we'll be using our cap space as an Air BnB.

They don't have 4 picks. We will have to give something to Washington to make 4 picks happen. I'm going to want something for my trouble.

Little cold water on including Kuminga in a GSW Lauri trade.

I’d be so stoked if we landed podz with those picks. Very good player to mix in with our young guys. GS should not trade him.

 

[fishonjazz]

Honest question. How far back does trading Lauri put us? Guys like him do not come around often. How long do you think it would take for us to find another player like Lauri?

Would probably take like 11 months

I want the Rockets to get crazy and put a huge package together. Jabari Smith is like younger mini Lauri, hopefully. I'd love Sengun, Sheppard, Thompson etc. And they have great picks too. Could easily give us a fantastic package.

I don't see them moving Sengun, he's really fracking good

 

[Bawse Dawg]

I don't see them moving Sengun, he's really fracking good

They are refusing to extend him though.

Write down this name: Miikka Muurinen. 17 years, blond curly hair like Lauri, 209cm as of now, will be as much of a great team player. Has solid shot mechanic, decent handle, great movement and decent defensive instincts. He's most likely our next NBA draftee in 26 class. Maybe not as good as Lauri in that age,but lots of similarities. Then y' all can just pretend Lauri never left, even though Lauri is a bit more handsome.

 

[HeatCheck]

Spurs could put together a compelling package:
Keldon + Sochan + ATL picks ('25 ATL unprotected, '26 swap, '27 unprotected)

Rockets could offer Sengun or Jabari + Phoenix picks

Warriors can offer a package with Podz + post Curry FRP's

Those look to be the 3 best candidates offering a mix of young prospect + juicy picks.

The Don and Rudy trades were nice but unfortunately none of the draft picks are looking like future high lottery picks.

Ah, ok. Rockets be dumb imo, but if they can fetch him in a trade, I'd be over the moon.
