Lauri
filler

for

Aldama
Zaire Williams
Konchar
LaRavia
3 FRPs (top-3 protected)

Utah would replace Lauri with Aldama, got a few young rotational players, and 3 1sts.

Memphis would go all-in. Trade Clarke and Smart next year to re-sign Lauri. Ja-Bane-JJJ-Lauri / Edey, Vince, GG would be their core for 2025-2027 then.

this seems weak compared to other teams offer we see around here

Utah asks for GG to start. I don't think Memphis will pay the price Danny will ask.

I'm interested in GG/Vince/Edey as prospects, but none of them are in the deal, the rest of those guys look pretty meh. With the picks protected I don't see it as a competitive offer.

Aldama or GG?
Would you throw in both?

If we are going all in the pick trade we can offer either
Santi/Laravia/Ziaire/Konchar +
25 1st/27 1st/29 1st/31 1st + 26/28/30 swap rights

Ja/Des/Lauri/Jaren/Edey
Smart/Kennard/Vince/GG/BC
DRose/Cam/Wells/Stevens/Omer

GG offer would be:

GG/Santi/Ziaire/Konchar + 25 1st/27 1st

(Doubt we go either route considering the payroll of this team in two years).

Pass

We aren't trading Lauri for protected picks.

What if they are unprotected?

I wouldn't because they are all likely to be low. I'm also not enamored with Williams, LaRavie, or Konchar, and I like Aldama but he's not a centerpiece for a Lauri trade. It feels like trading him for a bunch of nickles and a dime.

This is a ton but there’s a part of me that wonders why not from the Memphis point of view? Seems like they’re clearly in a win now window and Ja/JJJ/Lauri/Bane is a heck of a core - maybe the best core in the league.

Thats probably a bit of an overpay, maybe remove a 1st or keep Edey, but honestly why not go for it

Thats a great core

If we replace Edey with Ziaire and Konchar I would think hard about it. I’m not sure if any team could beat a rotation of:

Ja/Des/Lauri/JJJ/Edey
Smart/Kennard/Vince/Laravia/BC

Lauri+Kessler

For

Edey+GG+Aldama+MEM27FRP+MEM29FRP+MEM31FRP

I think this would be a winner for both sides. Ainge probably pushes for swaps in 28/30.

I think that MEM is the team that makes the most sense... if Ja is coming back strong and with his head on straight. I would keep Edey though. Big Edey fan
