MASSIVE Markkanen Trade Update | GSW Offers Picks | Jazz May Wait to Trade Markkanen | Warriors News
okay y’all I got the wedding I have to leave in a half hour that means I got 10 minutes record for you CU Lowry marking in some news just broke about what it will take from the Jazz to be able to trade them and the predicament that they’re in and it rumors out about another type of package the Warriors have offered so I want to get that out to you before I go because I won’t be able to do anything the rest of the night I hope W bomb doesn’t happen anything because uh I won’t be able to record but you never know this is NBA live baby let’s get into it Randy silver Warriors Digest I’m here for everything you need first time here welcome longtime viewer thank you thank you thank you and if you’re commenting appreciate it okay golden state has a heavily pick based offer on the table for Lowry marketing per TJ Jones of the NBA they offer on the table it’s substantial I think the offers are heavily pick based what complicates it is the Warriors only have two unprotected picks plus a protected first rounder you know we talked about this in the last episode there was a propos trade of PODS gp2 Looney 2025 first unprotected Golden State Warrior 2028 first unprotected plus pick swaps 2728 a lot of comments I saw good there’s no kaminga but it’s just too much to give up in turn of draft picks and you’d want to see Wiggins in there some people said hey let’s go for it if we get Markin in then your starting five is kaminga marinin Steph tjd Draymond then obviously some of the people we got Melton Kyle Anderson be able to help in the back Waters as well in that case Wiggins would be there but as this thing right here picks so if we look at the war picks this is what we actually have for the picks we get our first rounder or we have our own first rounder for 25 26 27 28 29 30 and 31 so where it says here what complicates it is the Warriors only have two unprotected picks Plus protect the first rounder I’m not sure I just looked that up so something is a bit off I’m not sure what it is I’m going to try to do some research but just know again it comes down to what do the jazs want do they want to win now no it does not feel like that they’re trying to build for the future that’s why they have all the draft picks from the goar trade from the mitell trade so then let’s look at it from the Jazz side the trade seen as difficult by insiders because of the contract he’s currently on him being marketing more than one rival team has shared that the OB obervation that it would be difficult for the Jazz to trade him in the short term even if they wanted to NBA Insider Mark Stein and we love Mark Stein we respect him he’s currently set the play on his 2024 2025 season on an expiring $18 million contract before hitting unrestricted free agency next summer remember that $18 million contract it obviously complicates the Jazz efforts to get a trade package in return for Markin on the level of Brooklyn’s Hall from Mel Bridges Markin is not under team control for more than a season and when his salary is relatively low they have a much better chance to command the Bridget style offer filled with future draft picks like New York agreed to the furnish Nets if he signed to an extension so basically long story short what’s that saying if he’s only signed for one year it’s hard to get four or five first rounders maybe even three because what if he doesn’t want to play in the bay Sacramento Miami Minnesota wherever he may go then you give up a lot for one year and he’s gone who did that recently that and it worked out for them Toronto Raptors they gave up a lot to get kawaii for one year and they got the finals they got the championship they won it all never done it before but he walked he walked and went to the Clippers so it made it worth it if they had lost and they won won of the 29 teams not leaving with a ring on their finger at the end of the season then it wouldn’t have been worth it but when you win a title it makes it worth it it’s just what have the Raptors done since really nothing they tried to stay up there they were middling team and now they’re building it down to break it back up so it really can put you behind if you go for it you get a title it makes it worth it if you don’t it hurts in addition to Buon bogdanovich the Nets received a hall of draft capital in the bridges trade including five total first round picks four unprotected one top four protected a unprotected pick Swap and a second round pick per Hoops hype the league why believe is that the Jazz would only consider moving Markin in for a sizable trade package similar to what the Knicks gave up so four first rounders five excuse me four first rounders five first rounders overall however Bridges is currently signed on more than two for two more seasons in an average of 24 million per year Marin does not have that same it’s one year 18 million NBA restrictions limit his extension to a salary worth about $27 million so the Jazz would need to Ren neate his deal before extending him the negotiation window opens August 6th for an extension that could reach 4 years $13 million crazy for his production he provide 20 points a game plays around 50 60 games I’ve seen that a concern but to only get 27 million a year rough now this is why I said this could drawn out there is absolutely no reason for the Jazz to then try to trade him before what was that date August where is it uh August 6 August 6 right now it’s July 5th so we may have this for a month honestly this may go in the training camp may go all the way in to trade deadline so around August 6 expect Markin in to see see what happens with the extension if they trade them before do they get the hall maybe a team like the Spurs the Warriors they say you know what we can’t take the chance of not getting him we just give more and more and the jazs are holding out but if that’s really true that they got away to the extension which markina believe then yes that means that this is going to be drawn out the Warriors Kings Spurs t-wolves and Pelicans all have expressed interest in marketing he as well but again the offishal reported earli this week that Utah prefers to keep Lowry and renegotiate renegotiate and extend him they can’t do that though till August 6 Utah holds a stockpile of first round picks in the next few drafts trading Market in receiving even more could help accelerate a rebuild it sounds like any potential agreement would likely have to wait for the Jazz star potential extension until August August folks again this is going to be drawn out I completely understand agree with that you get more out of your bang for your buck if you signed to a multi-year deal the team knows they’re under team control versus where the player owns that control again this is where our team is at right now we have some salary where if you would be able to extend we don’t have a lot on here yes you could bring in buddy heeld you’re going to bring in Kyle Anderson Melton this will pop up Saturday when everything can officially be signed July 6 so we’ll get a little bit more but we don’t have a lot of committed salary past 25 26 26 27 kaminga needs to get extended Moody what’s up with him if Brandon plays the way he does again he’s got three years left he’d be looking for extension two years so there’s some room to play with if we can if the Jazz s Mark to the 113 four years 27 million per year put 27 million per year on the 25 26 26 27 puts you at50 million is puts you at another like 90 million-ish so there’s room to spare and potentially get Curry and extended if he wants to extend kaminga whatnot so the option is there for the Warriors to make that happen the question is what are you going to give up and again we have these draft picks the question is are we giving up these draft picks for that we need to figure out the protections versus no protections but Danny a plays hard ball looking to get if it’s the bridges at least four first rounds if he’s extended after August 6 that’s something that very much could happen if it’s not before has to be one or two and what is they want to do with those first picks obviously you can trade up in the draft and go ahead and get someone you think is a generational Talent you could also trade for a generational talent in the NBA so it will well time will tell which is a cliche and I hate that but that’s only true this is where we’re at before all this went down this offseason again Clay’s gone Chris’s gone so you can see how it’s kind of squared off a little bit and this is where we’re projected to be at when you add all the players 177 where’s a team at if we can slide in marketing we have a solid team solid bench and I love to see it and I love to see what your thoughts are in the comments so keep commenting keep sharing keep liking keep doing all that let me know your thoughts and if there’s any topics you want me to go over let me know I got this done in about 10 minutes so let me get this uploaded and time to go to the wedding see you all soon

Jake Fischer has been wrong so many times, I don’t believe jack crap from his reporting. You win championships through the draft and not free agency unless it’s someone like KD or LeBron. Case in point, W’s, Boston, and Denver.
For an expiring contract, I wouldn’t offer too much. Jazz are gonna pull a clippers and lose him for nothing.🤣
Giving up too much Lauri is not worth it.
Why do you keep bringing up his durability? Last two years Jazz shut him down after the trade deadline as they were trying to tank. You need to be able to see through the simple numbers …
If the Jazz wait until agust 6th and they extend him, they cant trade him for 6 months. So they have to trade him now or they cant trade him until feb and they cant risk waiting that long.
This would be our Paul gasol pic if we get him …
One year…hurt a lot…always traded…lots of red flags
This sounds like a weird reporting 🤔 Has there never before been those wink wink deals of someone resigning with a team? Also while Lauris salary is small, it's easy to find a matching salary from any team. When the salary goes up, then teams need to give up some kind of major player or many many players to match the salary. Only part that made sense was Lauri being under team control IF you are going to trade him somewhere he really doesn't want to be at. But since he is such a family guy, why would you want to get him in to the situation where he and his family doesn't feel comfortable? That won't increase the likelihood of him keeping developing and playing to his maximum capacity. (Not that he would slack on purpose but mental toll affects athletes too)
I think the Warriors have to be really careful here.
Why not trade wiggs gp2 moody to get lauri instead. Gsw got hield melton podz for guards alongside curry, and no need for wiggs cos got kyle kuminga dray.
Sorry but the spurs have 13 number one picks in the next five years. . Including four next year. They have unlimited cap room if a trade is involved and young players to trade.
Warriors have no prayer .
Zero
Pass on Lauri injury prone and not that great of a shooter for return. He does not guarantee a championship plus giving up draft haul for one maybe year. Maybe he stays healthy.
go to Lavine instead of trading kuminga to markkanen
Mike needs to go for it. Even better if he keeps GP2 and instead ships off Wiggins- rid yourself of the headache of the undisclosed Wiggins family drama that causes him to miss tons of games every year.
Don’t want to give up Podz but better than Kuminga
They probably want Kuminga too, it's a hard pass. No way the Warriors should trade away their future.
This dude exudes wholesomeness
"Building it down to break it back up"
I imagine the warriors have a lot of 1st rounders. They haven't made any big trades at all these past years. I k for cp3 we have up 1 but that's all I remember
Ainge is just sitting back and laughing. Ainge won't give up Markkanen, unless he gets a franchise type player.
Forget them picks you can always aquire picks later…. He's a 7ft Stretch big shooting 43% Mike Jr sign and extend him 3 yrs to cover Curry's current Prime
But the Spurs has 22 picks for 2025-26. I don’t understand why Jazz wouldn’t want that more.
No bench
Trade DG and wigs.
We need to build
I don't know all the details. but it just seems Danny expects too much and it won't happen
Lauri Wiggins Kuminga Steph and Dray is SQUAD. GP2 is good though…
No way. Don't include Podz.
Trade Kuminga can’t win with him!
I’m wondering if Lauri wants to come to play with GSW but it will be dumb if he doesn’t!
Ainge got 5 for Rudy. Getting more in this trade.
Sub 💯 keep us updated
Give moody, not podz
Don't loose your young core: kuminga, podz, tjd… everything else for sale
Lauri markenen is not a big man…embied, Adams, maybe pascal if u need movement… We need somebody with strength…bully ball inside!
Trade rumors that go on and on never materialize. Most player moves aka trades and signing simply happen and generally happen unexpectedly with terms never discussed or considered by outsiders. Speculative transactions never materialize. Deals are done undercover and revealed once completed.
Podz has to stay! GP2 should, too..
If Lauri extends then he can’t be traded until one day before the trade deadline on feb 4.
Meaning realistically no trade until 25 offseason.
Bob Myers could deal with Danny Ainge. . I'm concerned Mike Dunleavy Jr could be in over his head.
Lauri wont leave Utah. GSW cant afford him after one year.
I think that Ainge is blowing smoke about a LM trade. Why would he trade this guy for anything less then the kitchen sink. Now that the GSW's have Slomo what about trading Green and wiggs along with cash and draft picks to get what they want. From what I have seen they should stand pat with JK, Moody, Podz, TJD, Santos LQ and Gariuba. Slomo can do most of the stuff that Green can do except getting suspended on a regular basis. So far a great off season for the GSW. This trade or die anxiety can be put to rest if only Kerr will let the young guys play and evolve. JK can get a basket from almost any where, not so with LM.
