Does Lauri Get Traded?

[NUMBERICA]

Yeah but if the offers don’t blow you away I’d rather stand pat.

There are ways to tank with Lauri on the team.

A potential star and maximum-allowed control of a team's draft for five consecutive years set to fall apart right when we get their picks is basically the best possible package. The outlays are on par with and maybe better than* when Ainge traded the corpses of KG and Pierce to the Nets for - you guessed it - FIVE CONSECUTIVE years.

*ways it's better: fully swappable picks of four+ teams, Podz

Still think we have to get more creative and involve multiple teams with more players than just Lauri leaving the Jazz.

The fact that this Dunn deal is still hanging in the air tells me there is going to be a lot of moving parts if a Lauri deal actually happens.

Think this guy has it right.

Do we actually think Utah is negotiating on what they want for Lauri, or are just straight up saying "No" and making what they would accept open-ended and unclear?

Feels like we are negotiating. I think the discussion would be dead if we just said no. We might be negotiating in bad faith though.

MacMahon and Shams both said Podz has to be in the deal. I think that’s the Jazz negotiating hard line.

They could beat anyone in a playoff series which is all that really matters when you have a GOAT on your team. Regular season, maybe 4th/5th seed?

For us the regular season is all that matters though since the postseason has no impact on their picks.

You would draw a hard line at Moody and Podz or would you spare Moody to get Podz and all the picks?

Depends on DA's true plans and motivations... If he prefers a multiyear tank then I could spare Moody or maybe a pick. If he prefers to keep Lauri then I want it all (minus JK).

And Tony Jones was the first one who said that publicly.

As long as Steph/Draymond/Lauri are on the team and healthy the picks wont be good.

Sounds like we want Podz in the deal.

We’re not doing the deal for the immediate picks. The real prize is the post-Curry picks.
