Utah is house money man. They are rebuilding and just so happened to be competitive way ahead of time. They have not even started touching the assets they got in those trades. They ideally should not have been that good last year but meh you will take it. They can go get easy 2 firsts for Lauri they can get an easy first for Clarkson
The reason he fared worse on his other teams is they didn't let him play to his strengths and the organization over all isn't good – currently, Cleveland 8th, Bulls 13th, so he wasn't the problem. I think he'd be good on a lower contending team or a higher play in level team as a second or third option. I'd like to see him in SACRAMENTO, INDIANA or maybe DALLAS or GOLDEN STATE (if they wise up and go for a rebuild on the fly around Curry)…
Do you ever even watch jazz games? Your takes on team and Lauri is totally stupid. Jazz is one point guard away to be contender. Reason why jazz suck atm is guards, only one who have any game so far this year is rookie Keyonte George, all other jazz guards suck. Last year before Conley trade, jazz was very good. After it was not. If they can get someone really good PG, they will be awesome. Lauri is off ball player, maybe best off ball player in whole league. He is not the one who create offence on his own. He need good PG. Jazz have everything they need to get point guard who is good enough and Keyonte will be very good next season or season after that. They have no reason trade Lauri who can be first option in contender lvl team.
OKC would be silly not to trade for a big man that pushes them to contention. Otherwise, what is all your assets for? This is the moment you were waiting on. Capitalize now
Lauri wasn't being used properly with those other teams, they wanted to use him as just a spot-up option, when his skillset is more vast than that. It took the Jazz to realize that.
A scout once said, once you've seen them do it, barring injury, you KNOW that they can.
He's got perennial All-Star skills, no need to be nervous, the Jazz would be crazy to let him go.
If Lauri gets traded the Pacers will be his likely destination. They can offer more than just about any team with the need. They could give Utah 3 U25 prospects and all the draft picks they want and not even lose players who are currently in the rotation. God help us all if Indiana lands a 4 like Lauri to pair with Tyrese.

I can't see any way that they could get it done but Golden State could use some front court scoring.😊
I don't think they should, but if they do I think he's exactly the type of player Miami wants next to Bam.
As a knicks fan, I really want Lauri. He's the guy we need imo
I think the Warriors could really use Markannen. They need the size, and if they want to win now, they can trade some of their up-and-comers
In my honest opinion, I think the Jazz aren't gonna be looking at trading Markkanen.
Hell no…Lauri is 7'0". Runs the floor. Has a great deep ball 3. I've heard he's untouchable.
Jazz will keep Lauri at least one more year but the Clips will trade for Olynyk at the deadline.

Bulls were dumb for trading him. I would love to have him back
Surely we can get him, we should at least try because he'd fit easily into our team and we got the assets to move
Im not sure id look too sideways at the Bulls being willing to let him go. We've seen a plethora of dumb things they are willing to do
I like the disclaimer. As a Jazz fan, I had an undercurrent of, "Why are we talking about this?" Lol.
Unfortunately for the thunder. Lauri is a King
Lauri won't get traded
This is the player the Knicks should want, a big all nba wing to pair with their current big three and push the team into championship contention
What is this guy talking about…cha..ching
Maybe a trade to Sacramento for Harrison Barnes and a couple picks.
Waiting for your Brooklyn Nets analysis. Pretty interesting they made NO off season moves.

As a Nets fan, I’ll take a flier on him. Dinwiddie & 1 first rounder 👍
