Lauri's deal has nothing to do with the basketball year and everything to do with a 6 month restriction. Lauri was ineligible to be traded at deadline because it was within 6 months, not because it was in the same basketball year.
 
I think Locke is rright. Lauri held off signing his deal and is not eligible to be traded until the next basketball year in the CBA which is well after the draft.
I remember in the 14 draft when LBJ went back to Cleveland LBJ didn’t want Cleveland to trade the #1 pick and bring Love to Cleveland but I guess Love couldn’t be traded for a month or two, but everyone knew that in a month or so this trade would happen. It was no secret that a deal was in place just waiting for the day Love couldn’t be traded. So Lauri could still be involved in a draft day trade just can’t go through till the new calendar year starts for the upcoming season.
 
At some point, there's gonna be a real franchise-level reckoning on Lauri's terrible deal and how the Jazz have managed to completely fumble and destroy his value.

Heads should roll.

And no, he's not getting traded. Of course teams know that we tanked, but at this point, they still need a pretty big sample of Lauri playing a lot better to take that insane contract. I mean some dudes get paid and start sucking. It happens.

Are teams ready to bet that Lauri's nosedive was ONLY about the tank? Maybe he's just a guy who doesn't really have a passion for basketball and likes to chill with his $240 million?
