Rockets become the Lauri team


SUCCESS

I think the Rockets are the destination that makes the most sense for Lauri. They can give a better package than anyone asside from the Thunder, and if you include the talent they can throw in, it might be better (obviously the Thunder technically have better tradeable talent, but they're not throwing in Jalen, Chet, or SGA). The Jazz embrace the tank further, sending away Sexton to LA for a bit of capital, and D'Lo (I'll touch on this farther down).

Rockets

Starters: Fred, Reed/Green, Brooks, Jabari, Lauri

Bench: Reed/Green, Amen, Wittmore, Adams, Jock

I think this makes the Rockets very competitive in the west, and they still have a ton of young talent. Maybe it's one too many picks to send out, but I like the idea, and the fit of Lauri and Jabari is interesting.

Jazz

Starters: George, Clarkson, Hendricks, Collins, Sengun

Bench: Collier, D'Lo, Williams, Sensabaugh, Kessler

The Jazz cash in on Lauri, netting a good pile of firsts, and Sengun, a fringe all-star with awesome upside. Maybe the Jazz will continue to hunt for more draft capital, but I think the combo of decent capital and an awesome young player might do it for them

Lakers

Starters: Reaves, Sexton, Bron, Rui, Davis

Bench: Vincent, Christie, Knecht, Vando, Hayes, JHS, Bronny, Reddish (If either of those two have to play serious minute for the Lakers, they might as well call it a season).

This is really a separate trade from the Lauri one. Lakers upgrade to Sexton (at least, upgrade IMO, some might disagree with that) from D'Lo for a relatively low cost.
