Okay look, the Thunder are going to get the Clippers pick unprotected. There's no way the league won't move the Jazz up in the lottery to make sure the Thunder don't get the Jazz pick as well, right? I'm thinking the league helps us this year and gives us #3 or #4. They might even give us #2...
Jazz need to go 2-10 over the next 12 games. That would make them 7-18 in their first 25 games.
Last year, they were 5-20 in their first 25 games. So we'd be 2 games ahead of last year's win pace.
If Lauri is averaging in the high 20s scoring-wise, I think he needs to be added. You've got Jokic, Doncic, Wemby, Giannis, SGA as locks. Sengun has a strong case. Then it's one of Lauri, Paolo, Franz or Deni. Or maybe Giddey?
I think the Jazz will keep Lauri. Putting Lauri and Ace side-by-side at the wings is attractive. Now they need another All Star-level player to run their offense through.
Otherwise, you've got a 7-ft guy averaging 30 ppg who likes being in Utah. Why would you move him?
