Does Lauri Get Traded?

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Lauri will get every cent for the renegotiation. You can book that.

I think he only does if he signs that day. I think if they wait so they can't be traded it will be slightly less

It looks like Devin Carter will be out at least 6 months for his Shoulder Surgery. The Kings might not be patient with that timeline, and maybe there is someone from our roster that they will want?

Would LOVE to get Carter in Utah, and we can definitely wait until he's healthy.

(Wrong thread, I know)

There's no way they didn't know about his shoulder prior to drafting him....

Yeah, probably, but maybe they didn't have the full scope of surgery required and timeline.

Listened to Lowe and McMahon. Theyre team tank

of course. so obvious. anybody who thinks otherwise needs to pull their head out.

I read this as a dare. Championship push 25, lez go. Trade for Lavine!!!

 

[rippimpc]

They made a good point tho. GSW probably isnt a championship team after a lauri trade. SAS makes more sense as a trade partner.

Suppose we keep lauri. Whats the absolute worst we could be?

A play in team.

It's about the degree in which you tank, not winning vs losing.

I think highest upside is keep lauri + get cooper flagg. How can we engineer that?

There’s no true way to engineer that. Jazz can give themselves a 14% chance by tearing it completely down except for Markkanen, Kessler and Rookies. That almost certainly gets them into the bottom 4.

 

[rippimpc]

Id like 100% chance at one of the top 5 guys (need worst record in league). I think it might not be possible with Lauri if Keyonte develops how we hope (basically have to root against player development).

I’ve decided I’m 100% against trading Lauri unless it’s to the Spurs and the Atl 25 pick is unprotected and in the deal.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

I'm also guessing the Spurs won't include the 2025 ATL pick under any circumstance unless it's at the deadline and it's fairly obvious they aren't that bad.

Unfortunately, I think this is the case. I don’t see them getting desperate enough to put Atlanta’s pick up for grabs. Tbh - I don’t think Atlanta is going to be that bad, but I think they’re still a lottery team and there’s always the chance that they jump to #1 again.

Just by virtue of having Trae and the desire to win, they will be hovering around the 10th seed when it’s all said and done. But yes, they probably still miss the playoffs and those are still any odds to hit.

I think the Spurs are too smart to trade what Danny will ask (they also aren’t in a rush like Golden State) so I’ve put it out of my mind as a possibility.

Meh, the amount of damage you would have to do to the organization on order to guarantee the worst record is a really bad idea.

And to draft Cooper Flagg, no less. Dude is painfully overrated and will be a meh NBA player. I pity the GM who wins the draft lottery and basically has to take Flagg at #1, or else.
