Re: The Jazz gotta move Lauri

How about the #1 overall pick. Think he’s a perfect fit with LaMelo, Miller, and Mark Williams

To Nets: Markkanen + Mitchell
To Cavs: Bridges + Cam + 27 76ers 1st
To Jazz: Simmons + Nets Youth + 3x Suns 1sts
Ainge gets the sexiest picks owed in the business.
Nets get Markkanen to backfill the need to involve Bridges to get Mitchell out of Cleveland early.

The Jazz may have less leverage right now, but they won’t trade him until after he signs an extension unless it’s a silly deal.

I doubt that there is a PLAN to move him at any point. But rather a price point where moving him becomes the correct course of action.

And I'm not sold Lauri doesn't get a higher offer as is versus later.
Philly should offer more for him now, as now it could be a big 4 of Embiid/Maxey/Lauri/max FA. Waiting a year means giving up one of the 3 others most likely for the cap math, as well as another year of Embiid's prime.
LAL should offer more now for same reasons with fitting with Lebron/AD. And honestly, if i'm OKC I offer at least as much now knowing I can have him for a year to integrate etc.

Philadelphia can't offer any of their own picks until 2029 because of the 2025 and 2027 picks they've traded. Otherwise they have the 2028 LAC 1st. I don't see a team waiting 3 years for the return on their star player and I don't think what Philly can offer is likely better than what an extended Lauri is worth. I'm perfectly happy to get a boatload for him unexpected, but I don't think many teams would be willing to take that risk.
