And that doesnt change that Utah wants him.....

I really have no idea what angle you are pushing here. It doesnt make sense and just because you are assigning fake values to things doesnt make it make sense.
 
The Warriors and Jazz are perfect opposites on this point too, but if they get Lauri and keep Kuminga, that puts them in absolute salary hell in a year. Even more value to the draft capital.

I don’t think the Warriors are stupid enough to do what it takes to do a deal with Danny at this juncture.

That's the thing tho....the Jazz don't want to trade Lauri and Lauri doesn't want to be traded. This is truly a "you're going to have to come up with a great offer to force our hand"...The Jazz aren't actively trying to get rid of Lauri

Exactly, the Warriors are the ones with the onus to make it happen, not Utah.

Warriors dont make this trade and they have no shot at competing for a deep playoff run.

The Jazz dont make this trade and they probably just figure out how to tank with Lauri.

The Warriors want him more than the Jazz, that means the Jazz won't pay the amount it costs to get him.The Warriors have some price that will get Podz, if the Jazz don't like him as much as the Warriors they will not meet that price. The Jazz have a price they will pay for Podz, if they do not like him as much as the Warriors it will not be enough for the Warriors. It's really not that hard to understand.

I don't doubt that the Jazz would like to keep Lauri. But it's not clear that the Warriors do not have more desire for him than the Jazz. It depends on how much the Jazz want to tank versus how much the Warriors think Lauri can elevate them to a championship. That's why we're talking about a trade in the first place. We will find out the answer if/when a trade comes down.

With Podz, I think it's pretty clear that he has more value to the Warriors than to the Jazz.

The Jazz arent the buyer. They are the seller.

The price isn't set at some market amount though. The real measure here is do the Warriors like Podz and their picks more than Lauri?
 
The measure is do the Warriors actually think they can win another ring with Lauri/Steph/Draymond and whatever they can cobble together after acquiring Markkanen and if they can stomach what it means if it goes wrong.

If you think there cannot be enough value to the Jazz without Podz (which is what I think your stance is) that's one thing. It makes it difficult for another reason. But if not, putting Podz in the deal means subtracting something else. If Podz is worth more to the Warriors than the Jazz, the amount taken out of the deal will be too much for the Jazz to accept.

This. This thread is pretty pointless imo. Jazz won't trade Lauri this summer.

Who says something has to be subtracted. Who says there is even a pile of stuff that is agreed upon to subtract from. We have the player. We want him to stay. He wants to stay. Here is our price...

Ya that was a strange post.
Made it seem like podz is the prize in the trade.

You can also apply the same "he means more to them than us" with Lauri. He means a lot to us... if he can help GS compete for one more title as Steph rides into the sunset he may mean more to them.
