The other interesting Lauri-adjacent question:

Whose reporting do you believe? Zach Lowe (they’re definitely trading) or Tony Jones (no, they’re not trading unless package is insane)
 
Lauri needs to be a top-8 international guy to make the ASG. He's in play for sure.
Unfortunately Jazz regular season record makes Lauri's allstar selection very unlikely.
When Lauri made 2023 allstar game Jazz started that season winning record and they were TOP6 team in western conference.

Now Jazz are hanging play-in line so i don't see Lauri making to allstar game without injuries or that Jazz starts winning.
Allstar selections and other accolades usually goes those players who play playoffs / championship contending teams not tanking teams like Lauri does.

Maybe Lowe thinks there will definitely be insane packages

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?

Yeah. Lowe seemed very certain of his reporting, which makes me think he’s gotten it from Lauri or the agent directly. When Austin Ainge pushed back on that in a press conference, Lowe called him out and stood strongly by his reporting.
