Good news from Utah Jazz…
Over the course of this offseason, the Utah Jazz have been the center of numerous trade rumors involving their franchise cornerstone in Lauri Markkanen.
However, as we near the end of this NBA summer, those talks could soon be coming to a close.
While there’s been an immense amount of chatter surrounding a potential deal for Markkanen with multiple teams around the league, the realism on a trade coming to form has started to dwindle as we inch closer to the start of next season.
And when asking some inside sources close to the situation, the landscape may not look like it’s changing anytime soon.
During NBA insider Tony Jones’s appearance on ESPN 700, Spence Checketts inquired about how the chances look of a Markkanen deal taking place this offseason from a scale of one to ten, with Jones replied with a slim “two,” instead seeing an re-negotiation and extension being the result in Utah.
It’s been clear that the Jazz have held Markkanen in extremely high regard during their various trade talks this offseason, only entertaining packages on the one-time All-Star that blew them out of the water.
