*“Why aren’t the Jazz willing to accept our trash for their best player? They’re holding him hostage!!”*
“Ainge has no leverage, he literally has to accept anything we offer” — saw this on the Warriors sub today
Lol yeah. They think we are asking for the moon. Kinda funny, because we’re not asking for a trade….
Everyone else is convinced that Lauri won’t sign an extension in August to get a raise this upcoming season from 18 million to over 30 million. Maybe he doesn’t? But there have been no indications I’ve seen that he’s asking out.
He’s both the most coveted trade asset “available” as a 7ft tall, 3 point shooter, on high efficiency guy, with an 18 million cap hit, and not worth giving away assets for because he’s a 1-time all-star who’s never been to the playoffs.
The trade lust is so real right now.
Other team: So check out this haul. We offer you five seconds, two first round picks protected 1-25, two bad contracts, one second unit guy, and eight G-League players
Utah Jazz: Eh, no. We can do better.
Other team: You all are crazy. Danny Ainge is out for *blood*!
Lauri is cool, brodies. He coo. But no one reading the farm for an expiring. Chiiiillll
