Best case scenario, you’re 5-7 with Lauri and lotto falls your way. You then have a real core and fringe star to quickly build around.

Worst case it doesn’t and you pick a great talent in a loaded draft at 7/8. Trade Lauri and go all-in tank on another loaded draft in 2026

If you trade Lauri - a fringe star who wants to be in Utah - and do land Flagg. You’re still a LONG ways from competing. Look at how hard it’s been for the 76ers with an MVP. How will the Jazz bring in and keep all the other star pieces to compete?

Much easier if you have Lauri, Flagg/top 2025 pick, and are just looking for 1-2 more pieces
