Obviously wouldn’t have been straight up trade but that rumor doesn’t really make sense unless they’re worried about losing Lauri because of not being competitive.
I do wonder how much knowledge of trades that don’t happen that players are aware of.

I think there’s real merit to UTAH potentially being concerned *if* Lauri will re-sign. He’s entering the final year of his deal. Their team is pretty clearly still in semi-early-rebuild mode. But does need to prioritize another talented, competitive-NOW piece, to pair with Markannen, sooner-than-later. Dejounte is the same age & prime-entering trajectory, fwiw.
I have my doubts they’d take Dejounte. More likely they trade Lauri then trade FOR Murray imo. I’d overpay for Taylor Hendricks, personally, though, if Utah wants to play ball for DJM. 3 years of a rookie scale versus a *massive* soon-incoming max extension for Brandon Ingram. He does have a bit too much overlap with Jalen & Sarr, assuming we go that route at #1.

February 8th is a deadline date you can Google.

Pretty sure it is like:
Landry: Here is our DJM package, we want Keyonte. Jazz GM: No. (hangs up the phone)
