I will simply refer you to your own opinion of Brice. Unless they loved him in the draft, there’s no chance a team trying to win a championship values a completely unproven young player like Brice more than a tanking team.

My opinion on Brice is ultimately irrelevant.
 
Podz played great with Steph in place of Klay and he also led their second unit competently when CP3 was out. Now they dont have either of those guys anymore so Podz is theoretically quite important for them also in the short term.

So for them to include Podz in the deal they would have to retain enough assets to get another guy to lead their 2nd unit but they would also downgrade their 1st unit guards as the options for that 2nd guard spot would go down to GP2, (Moody,) Melton and Hield.

Therefore I dont think there is a package including Podz that both parties would accept.
 
Trying to hone in on the essential pieces:

-Podz
-‘26/‘28/‘30 no top-protections
-‘27/‘29 super swaps

That’s the lowest I would go. But gimme Podz (and take him away from GSW just as importantly) and 5 consecutive years of owning their draft (pick biased) and those are the best pieces. This is right where Curry should be falling apart/retiring (ages 38-43), we get the supers in the richest years we have, and the extra picks in the poorer years.

More on ascertaining the value of super swaps: what is the cost of trading up in an average draft from the late 20’s to the middle of the 1st round? Another pick in the 20’s, a future first, or a young prospect is what I’d peg the value at. In ‘27/‘29 all you need is one team of four or five teams to be in the mid-late 20’s and one team to be average to get that value (with a chance at hitting BIG).

Getting the 31 swap would be important for me. In 7 years time you would the Jazz have become good and better than the post-Curry Warriors.

Not following. I'm not a Brice hater at all. I think he has talent and I would want him if I was a team that was low on rookie contract talent.

Just think when you are a team that is having high end rookie talent coming in every year, you have to make cuts some places. That's basically what happened to Khris Middleton in Detroit and he broke out in Milwaukee. Teams find these players valuable as it's a very low risk acquisition.
 
Could someone tell me why we couldn’t just wait til the next offseason to trade Lauri?

There could be more suitors then than just relying on the Warriors right?

Ya you seem to think Brice can't make our tanking rotation but warriors would want that kind of talent for a championship run.
Just seems odd.

Wait, you think we can't?
Most of us think that is what will happen. If we trade him at all

Well 90% of the discussion seems to be around the gsw’s offer.

Ya but that's because these rumors are happening right now.
Most of us don't think he gets traded this summer

What is odd about it? The Jazz will have another 3 rookies next year. It's a ton of young players trying to develop at once. Guys are going to get lost in the sauce. The Warriors, if they make this Lauri trade, will not have that same roster of young talent. Just think about it.
 
The part of a potential Lauri trade I'm struggling with right now is his impact on our young guys' player development. Specifically for Key and Hendricks, I think their development goes so much smoother with Lauri on the court. With potentially 3 draft picks coming in next year we're not going to have the luxury of waiting forever for guys to show promise. In a way we could be maximizing our 2025 draft, but in the process minimize our 2023 draft.

Luckily we got Filipowski in the wings. He's going to be a great connector and make everyone better

Just saying it's weird to think a dude who can't make the rotation on a bad team will make the rotation on a good team and be a positive contributor to a championship run.

If he sucks to the point of not being able to get minutes in a team trying to lose then I don't think the warriors really want him.
