*putting on my nerd hat*: Actually Lauri will be leaving behind up to 24 million if he is to be traded. He can technically be renegotiated and extended with the team he is traded to. No other team has a cap space left to renegotiate him this season. So if he is to be traded, he will lose the amount of money he would have been renegotiated this season (which is up to his max of 42mil but his salary is already 18 mil, so 24 mil more than now).
The Jazz need to trade someone. If not Lauri Sexton or Clarkson. With how young their team is they need someone to take off a load but also need to loose.
@@cjonas3235 because the Jazz want a championship. They have the best all time record for a team without a championship. You need a top 10 player to do that. Get getting a pick 8-16 will almost never do that.
I hate to say it, but yea. I think he’s undervalued as a player, but his skillset doesn’t fit the mold of majority of what the league wants. He and Demar Derozan in the early 2000s would be all time greats
@@clouddueitt6577 agreed. He’s still young too. I think the way the new cap works is hurting his value severely. People don’t want to give him a max contract and be stuck not being able to make more big moves.
Anfornee in my eyes is worth two firsts he gets double teamed and is still good he gets top 10 player attention when defended what I’m trying to say is he gets guarded like a top 10 player
Gee, it would be soo difficult to run plays for a big guy that is great at cutting, great at catch n shoot 3s, great at pick n rolls/ pick n pops, great at read n react basketball...
so ben simmons next contract is gonna be what wiseman just got right? like obviously not confirmed but what else will he get other than a minimum 1+1 team option
@@Wilcorankingleverage as in he doesn't have to trade him. Jazz fans don't want Markkanen to be traded. Markkanen himself has said he loves it in Utah, and his family loves it there. He's also said he doesn't mind being part of the team even if they are rebuilding( tanking, but they can't say they're tanking).
They are not winning anything, with or without Lauri. And I don't think they are THAT worse to get their odds high up to end up with Cooper Flagg. Some teams like Pistons or Wizards will still have higher odds because they are just dumpster fire right now.
@@berserkmonk5331 that's not exactly how leverage works. No team has to trade anybody under contract if they don't want to. Leverage is when one side has the ability to force the other side to act more in the opposing party's favor... Eg at the trade deadline when 1 team is desperate to either acquire or dump salary to the point where they give up more than they normally would or a player with a no trade clause
Just wanted to say I think Ingram wasn’t traded because they were asking for a lot for Ingram and the teams that could afford him had other options like sixers with pg or magic with kcp and the teams desperate enough for him like the lakers or clippers can’t afford him
If Lauri extends with Utah, do you think the Warriors would go after Simons or Grant from Portland? I think Simons being a Klay replacement more on the timeline of B-Podz and Kuminga would be a perfect fit.
@@AMxHybridhe's a looter in a riot. The only team he makes sense for is the Lakers, on the Warriors if he can't get defensive rebounds at a high level he'll be useless.
Derrick white is making $35m a year on his next extention. This is the new world we live in, high end role players make what was superstar money under the last TV contract.
The Jazz don't need to trade him. We're talking 1, or 2 max, more seasons of losing for the Jazz before they go all in. This Summer was a bit of a half-effort, just like the two seasons of games. They know they need to tank, but left the door open, just in case. Pretty much have to force Ainge to lose, cuz he hates to lose on purpose.🤣
Did Lauri even win a play off series? Did he take a team to the playoffs? Does he even stay healthy a full season? These guys think he’s Steph curry or Lebron. This move by Utah is a total backfire F grade time to fire Ainge. Warriors offered them half their farm and Ainge was too stupid to realize what an amazing deal it was. He really tried to ask them for a third of their team and all their picks till 2030.
I want to see Anfernee Simons on the Pistons. I like Ivey, but him and Cade are a weird fit, plus Ivey might need a change of scenery. It'd probably be a deadline trade, so THJ can be part of the deal
Sorry had to dislike cuz can’t getwith this. You’re right for the pistons but Ivey would be a worse fit next to scoot. Ivey needs to go to a team that could use a pg with a lot of spacing
@thekidlivesnow well just because they'd trade for Simons doesn't mean Ivey has to end up in Portland. Idk where I'd like to see him, but it definitely wouldn't be in Portland 😂
@@asclipiadis3236 you’re right, shit maybe the jazz can pitch in and do to him like they did to sexton. It is tough to think what team he’d be nice on. Maybe the spurs or wizards?💀
Brandon Ingram ruined his trade value in the playoffs and due to his lack of 3pt shooting. If a team wants a ball dominant, stubborn non athletic and non spacing player have at it.

Bro they included a young guy that warrior fans love, three first rounders and three swaps plus second rounders. That’s a lot. Utah made up a clown counter for like four of their guys.

He looks like he’s either a)crazy. Or b) lazy and don’t do his homework so he asked for too much. Either way Ainge lost an awesome offer and instant successful rebuild opportunity. Warriors just need to go for other bigs as they become available. They only need one tall dude that can play some defense. Even Kessler might have been fine. Or someone like Ben Simmons.
Different is Bradley Beal was avg 30.5 @ 27 yrs old then the next year he avg 31.3 @ 28 yrs old The most markkanen ever avg was 25.6 @ 27 yrs old and last year was 23.2 @26 yrs old those his only times avg over 20 By time Beal was 27 he avg over 20 4 times
Disagree!!! Beal is a dime a dozen these days. Lauri is a top 15 player in the front court. Is he a league shift player? Probably not. Can he take a good team to a contender? Absolutely.
@@NZbo-.-.-614 Lauri is a third option at best and he’s demanding max money. No actual contending team will be able to afford him and if he’s your second option then you’re not gonna win. I actually think prime Beal is better than prime Lauri.
@@a3per818 MPJ is much younger, fits their timeline and has potential if given a bigger role imo.. Grant is an all around player, definitely a better defender, and is a much better fit for the nuggets.
@@itay6262 MPJ is 26 and injury prone so its not like he's some young guy with tons of potential. And how the hell is Grant a better fit than MPJ? Grant is unplayable at the point of attack and dies on every screen so you have to play him at the 4 but Nuggets already have Gordon at the 4.

"Lauri is going to get traded" is something youtubers completely made up just to have something to talk about. yall been saying this since last year
These episodes just get better and better love the editing and how genuinely funny it is
One thing that nobody ever mentions is that Lauri loves Utah and Utah loves him. He wants to stay

LOL at the thumbnail. Makes it seem like Spolo is beefing with Lauri 😂

Said only net fans 😭 we gotta stick together
The warriors could be a desperate team for Jerami Grant if Golden State does not get Lauri or The warriors could be a desperate team for Kyle Kuzma .
Mike Dunleavy has more sense than that
Anfornee in my eyes is worth two firsts he gets double teamed and is still good he gets top 10 player attention when defended what I’m trying to say is he gets guarded like a top 10 player
I don’t think Lauri will be traded . I think that Lauri will resign August 7 and then go after Brandon Ingram.
I was just thinking this
Ainge as a GM does have some blemishes but he ain't that stupid.
@@WilcorankingI think Ainge is dumb enough to not trade Laurie and try to build around him and Ingram. 🤣
Dallas doesn’t need Cam Johnson they probably want DFS instead for the team chemistry and Cam Johnson’s massive contract compared to his value.
Great show as always!!
Do you think Steve Kerr will be able to run good plays for Steph and Lauri?
No, it's kinda hard to do with a player on someone else's team
Gee, it would be soo difficult to run plays for a big guy that is great at cutting, great at catch n shoot 3s, great at pick n rolls/ pick n pops, great at read n react basketball...
People saying lauri is overrated perfectly explains how stupid certain channel’s subscribers are. This is almost as bad as flight mikes comments
Lauri will remain on the Utah Jazz. Love this vids Tucker

It wouldn't be a shock if he just takes his money and retires. I think his body is done.
