I grew up in Salt Lake and really started to become a huge sports fan when I was in 2nd grade watching the bulls and jazz. It was fun because I had 2 teams but the bulls were probably 1A for me because of MJ. I was obsessed with Jordan like most kids at that time. Once 96-97 hit I had to pick a...

Caesars actually went to 29.5 before the Lauri extension. It doesn't take a lot of money to move the jazz line because there aren't a lot of bettors interested in us. With Fanduel they had the 27.5 line at around a -135 so we knew that line was going to move pretty easy.

Haha, you took so many L's in this thread.

Damn that critical thinking is painful.

Haha, of course it did. I was assured by the experts in this thread that it would.

I love the fact that there is not a player option.

I would guess that it is 200mil in new money plus the 18mil from his old contract.

You always seem to be giving our players the benefit of the doubt and downplay opposing teams. Yes our players will likely improve but you can say the same thing about a bunch of the teams above us. Also the margin of difference from a starting point is pretty wide when it comes to us improving...

So are ours.

If we are healthy and those teams are healthy you really think that we can be better? I'm not seeing it.

I'm interested to see his answer.

Who in the west do you feel like we are better than that's not named the blazers?

We would still be a bottom dweller in the west.

An article earlier today said the max that we can give him over the following 4 seasons is around $188mil. I would expect it to be pretty close to that number. If I'm the jazz though I would try and make it a descending contract which is a benefit to Lauri and the jazz going forward. Lauri gets...

I would be surprised if the jazz played hardball on a player option and you know that his agent is going to ask for it.

I don't believe there will be a sweeter offer than what the jazz will end up giving him. My guess is that it is a full max with a player option for his final year.

I would much rather have Ivey than that knicks first which I think could be in the 25-30 range. If the pistons were willing to do Ivey and an unprotected 29 pick then I would do it but I doubt they make that offer. My guess is they want to get a look at Ivey and Cade together with a new coach...

I wish they were but we know that isn't usually the case. Teams aren't usually willing to play hardball over a player option 5yrs down the line if the player is demanding it.

Ingram makes sense next summer if he hits the market. Get the high draft pick and then take a swing at Ingram. If you can snag him then great but if not you just keep building around our young core.
