Why?
If next 2 seasons ( 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 ) are more tanking than winning Lauri walks out for free summer 2025.
24 months ( 2 years ) is not plenty of time and that will run out fast.
Of course Ainge can trade Lauri at some point if it looks that he's going to test 2025 UFA free-agency...
If you did watch the game you should know that FOUL TROUBLES screwed up Lauri's game.
Hardy should've pulled him out after 4th foul. NO SENSE to play a player who's foul troubles and 2 fouls away to being fouled out.
Foul troubles are one way to eliminate and shut down an allstar player like...
Tanking for what a TOP10 / TOP15 pick?
I have a news flash for you.
Jazz will not get Wemby or Scoot Henderson with TOP10 / TOP15 pick.
So too late to start tanking now.
10 points down and 3,3 minutes left. WAKE UP.
Come on Jazz and get that ****ing ball on your allstar ( Lauri ) and try win this game please or is it once again so freaking difficult to even try.
And Lauri foul troubles ( 5 fouls ) are those whistle clowns drunk or what.
What a hell is going on.
Mavericks do not have Kyrie, Luka, Kleber etc on the roster and still Jazz is down 5 points.
Did coach Hardy go full tank mode or what's happening?
After this season Lauri has 2 years left of his current 16,7 million per season contract which is ridiculously cheap for allstar player.
That will Lauri sign an extension with Jazz is up of that where Jazz is going as a team and are they playoff team etc 2025.
A lot can happen before summer...

Will Hardy wasn't only Jazz staff member who did watch Lauri's eurobasket games even Danny Ainge watched those.
Is absolutely rare...
Congrats Lauri.
I had ''thought'' of that Jazz regular season record would turn against Lauri's allstar selection but it didn't and that's good.
This also means that Ainge and Zanik has 2 years time to get Jazz at least playoff team.
The decision making for the future should start now not this...
Thanks to telling our interest level was high.
And now could you please put your crack pipe down and STOP SMOKING a weed you're too high already and GET THE HELL OUT of here. PS have a nice weekend.
Right now alot of Lauri's extension and staying to Utah is up and depend on that how soon Jazz is at least a playoff team.
2 years is not long time so Ainge should already have a vision and clear plan how to impress Lauri to get him sign a extension.
I don't want to guess or speculate what will...
Portis and Mirotic had fight in pre-season scrimmages and Portis got suspended 8 games on that because he punched Mirotic on the face.
Mirotic was sidelined due to face injury 2-3 months and Bulls only option for PF spot was Lauri.
That's how it went and Lauri became a starter in his rookie...
I don't have clear opinion of that should JC get traded or extended.
That being said Ainge should do that what's the right thing and best for the Jazz to now and into future.
Iivo Niskanen will be sportman of the year 2022 and nothing won't stop it anymore so deal with it.
Niskanen has TOTALLY EARNED that honour so as much it pisses you the only thing what you can do is accept it as hard it will be.
