What number are we comfortable with paying Lauri? and is there a number high enough where we should consider trading him instead of paying?

If he continues to put up similar numbers he'll probably get maxed, if not by the Jazz then by another team. It would be nice if they could retain him for less but I wouldn't count on it. The thing is that the Jazz could still trade him later on and get value back so it's not really an issue of whether he gets the max, it's what the Jazz could surround him with.

The real decision the Jazz FO is making is between Continuity, Cap Flexibility, and Cash Considerations.
