I was listening to Rusillo on the Bill Simmons podcast this week. He made a comment about Lauri and why would Utah trade him? They have enough picks. Players are not breaking down the doors to play in Utah. It appears he likes it there and is the #1 guy there. Even if Utah wants to reset, keeping Lauri shouldn't really impact that.
As far as Dallas, with the emergence of Jones and Exum (hopefully both stay healthy) it allows them to stay patient. In all honesty, is a player better than Exum and Jones available on the market with the assets Dallas has to offer? Lively too with him being so good, so early. They can look for a fringe move, while biding their time. If a deal presents itself, sure go after it. But with the emergence of Jones and Exum it allows them to take a long term view.
