Which NBA Teams Are Trying To Trade For Lauri Markkanen
This NBA season has turned out to be a roller coaster ride for us fans teams who we thought would be just good have turned out to be pretty damn good and teams who we thought would be great turned out to be just okay or even downright bad just like last season
There isn’t a clear finals favorite just yet there’s a handful of teams who could find themselves holding up the trophy at the end of the season but for some of those teams in order to increase their chances of doing so they may need to add a piece to their puzzle and in this
Video that piece is Lowry marinan we’re about to take a deep dive into why he could be many teams missing piece as well as talk about four teams that would be the best fit okay so firstly how good has marinin B this season well he’s averaging 23 points and eight rebounds
While shooting 48% from the field and 37% from three so he’s been an All-Star level Center and one of the more versatile players in all of basketball that versatility is why he’s special he can fit into any system the first team who should take a chance on him is the
Oklahoma City Thunder in fact fact I’m almost 100% sure he’s going to be in a Thunders Jersey very soon the Utah Jazz have already come out and let it be known that they won at least five picks for him and as we know the Thunder have the most attractive collection of picks
In NBA history giving away five picks literally won’t affect their future in any way on top of the picks the Jazz would most likely want one of their young players like Usman Dang or poku and Josh giddy giddy in a jazz uniform would be one of the most talked about
Coincidences we would see all year for reasons we won’t get into here but he along with the picks would undoubtedly be enough to make this trade possible so okay marinin is now in OKC what does their starting lineup look like it would be SGA at the one Lou Dort at the two
Jay dub at the three markkanen at the four and of course Chad hren at the five I don’t know about you but that lineup is ridiculously good sgaa has been a legit MVP candidate this season his impact this season on his unit has everyone wanting to see what he does in
The playoffs L Dort is still a phenomenal Defender who Luca donic even called the best defender in the NBA a season ago Jay dub AKA Jaylen Williams has transformed into what many think is a potential star which I think is 100% true at 22 years old he’s averaging 18
Points four rebounds and four assists while shooting over 40% from three and not to mention he’s an impactful defensive player as well he is putting up the numbers alongside a BAL dominant SGA and Josh giddy which just shows you he is a dream complimentary player Chad homr is making a strong argument of
Being the best Defensive Player of the Year this season as a rookie he has completely taken OKC’s defense to new heights they only really had a mediocre defense last year now they’re currently one of the best defenses in the NBA alongside teams like the Timberwolves yeah let’s just give that man the award
Already his impact has been historic sliding Lowry Markin into this mix gives opposing teams yet another offensive threat to worry about Josh giddy is an excellent facilitator and high IQ guard but he doesn’t put fear in defenses when it comes to putting the ball Maho nor is
He a great defender having marke in on the court will open up things even more for SGA I honestly think marketing can be what kristof’s porzingis has been for the Celtics the Celtics offense was already electric without him however with him on their roster they look damn
Near Unstoppable if you focus too much on Jason Tatum and Jaylen Brown he’s going to drop 25 to 30 points on you or more and that’s exactly what Lowry can do for the Thunder I mean he’s averaging 23 per game as the number one option and being the main focus point for defense
Is to focus on right now now just imagine what he could do as the second option or maybe even third depending on how Jaylen Williams continues to progress defensively marinin isn’t all that bad he has solid Mobility for his size which was the reason he was able to
Play small forward for the Cavaliers a few seasons ago despite being over 7t tall with Chad Manning the middle he wouldn’t have to do much but just be in the right place at the right time and use his length to contest at The Rim something I think he does pretty well
But I want to know what you think about this potential trade in the comments down below next up the Philadelphia 76ers who’ve been on a rooll this far led by the reigning MVP and maybe soon backtack MVP Joel embiid embiid has been out of this world he’s averaging over 35
Points per game while also grabbing 11 boards addition out six assists like how is that even possible not to mention he’s shooting 35% from three and 89% from the free throw line and 54% from the field he’s not only killing it individually with his skills but I’m impressed with this statement he said
Recently you can’t win with the ball sticking and playing ISO basketball you got to have movement obviously for that to happen you got to have the right players to play that type of system and the ball’s just got to move and you can see it’s so much fun it’s not just about
Scoring passing the ball guys getting open shots the ball is moving everybody’s happy it’s fun wow yeah embiid said that it feels like he’s finally becoming his best dominant self and realizing that if he wants his first ring that ball has to move this hints at at why he’s averaging over six assists
Per game Tyreese Maxi has been a star and Robert Covington and DeAnthony Melton have been monsters on the defensive end and Tobias Harris has been putting in work on both sides of the floor as well to his credit even with that being said the 76ers are truly just
One player away from being title contenders and Lowry could be an interesting fit now obviously the Jazz would most likely want DeAnthony Melton and Paul Reed since they’re both under the age of 26 and then a couple of picks I would do that though but it goes
Without saying if there is a way to Anthony Melton that would be fantastic but a lineup of Tyrese Maxi Tobias Harris Nicholas patum marinin and embiid would still be great plus the 76ers have quality bench players too and if you wanted to swap matum out with Kelly UB
Jr or Robert Covington it would work either way if this trade were to go down then the 76ers would have a big three of Tyrese Maxi Lowry Markman and Joel embiid now sure it could be a weird fit at first due to embiid mostly operating out of the post and mid-range area but
Remember marinin is an excellent outside scor and shooter so he could Coexist on the court with embiid and would likely get much more open Catch and shoot opportunities than ever before the thing is even if they don’t work too well together they could just simply limit the time they actually are together
Lowry and Maxi running things could be just as lethal as embiid and Maxi another thing that’s underrated about markkanen’s game is how Elite of an off-ball mover he is his ability to cut off the ball would make embiid’s job so much easier as a passer Lowry isn’t just
Going to sit out on the trimmer and wait for a pass to come to him if embiid or Maxi is in trouble he’s going to find open space on either a back door or 45 cut and be at the rim for him dunk then for our third pick the Atlanta Hawks who
Are kind of in a weird spot they aren’t a terrible team but they aren’t necessarily a good one either it’s clear that they need to make a plethora of Moves In order to be a threat in the playoffs let alone in the NBA Finals however picking up marketing could be a
Huge step in the right direction I think DeAndre Hunter and AJ Griffin would be good enough to get them if not they could throw in some picks to sweeten the deal like I said though this move alone won’t automatically save the Hawks they would most likely have to move to jonte
Murray and Clint capella at the deadline for highquality role players in order to compliment them Dorian finny Smith Jeremy Grant maybe even Pascal seum could be amazing pickups if they were to get Market in however I do admit that this trade is probably the most unattractive one in this video then
Finally we get to the final team that could trade for him the Golden State Warriors and here things are a little different I think a package of Moses Moody Trace Jackson Davis Gary pton II and Dario could be enough to move the needle marketing could be the piece that
Helps turn things around in the bay I can only imagine how great he’ll fit besides Steph and Clay due to the amount of attenion they still demand and most importantly once Draymond Green comes back whenever that is marken’s off ball movement combined with Green’s passing could be a match made in heaven the
Fluidity within the offense would be incredible if Andrew Wiggins is able to at least become an elite Defender again then this team could make some noise in the postseason of course though Draymond Green would have to stop the Antics and stay his ass on the if he fails to do
This then this trade won’t have the same impact as it should I think all in all Lowry Markin will be on another roster soon and depending on the team we could have a new super team in our league his skill and versatility will be an elite asset to whichever organization he finds
Himself in but which trade scenario do you think he would best fit in let me know in the comments below thanks for watching and I’ll see you in the next one

Gsw you say? There s no turning back for them cuz they suck all over the place. That last title was just refs playing along, they will for sure need a process for things to go their way again
You are going to have to 'splain how Giddy in Jazz uni would be a 'coincidence'
And whatever your explanation is is – it will only illustrate how ignorant and probably racist you are.
I highly doubt the Jazz will trade Markkanen. Trading their best overall player in the middle of a rebuild makes absolutely no sense, especially considering how much he's improved since he came to Utah. He's still relatively young, so I think they could actually build around him for the next 5+ years.
100% huh? Lauri is staying in Utah
We know how much Danny Ainge loves picks and if OKC makes 4-5 pick offer that would be hard to turn down! As a Markkanen fan i hope he stays in Jazz
He will not be traded….don't believe everything that you see and read.
hahahahahahah FAKE FUCKING NEWS!
If the jazz trade Lauri, it would be to collect assets and further their rebuild. No way they trade to GS for a bunch of random role players.
Tell 7 stop hate… So what wat watt** lol 🏄
Opinion. The Lauri Markkanen bidding is likely for show. Utah may trade a different tall 🦒 player.
But Utah might play with the auction in order to acquire draft picks or acquire new faces.
I prefer that my Warriors trade for him! 🌉
Warriors fan here. 🌉 I disagree on a few players. 🙄 TJD is untouchable: Draymond Green has more trade value. Warriors will not trade away a 6 feet and 10 inches player. Wiggins might return home 🏡 to Toronto 🇨🇦.
I will put substitutions. Jonathan Kuminga for TJD. Kevon Looney for Dario Saric.
I believe Thunder will go for Markanen. Jazz don't want no trashy players from 76ers. Got no assets left. Thunder have best assets.
Lauri Markannen needs to be traded to OKC Thunder, he will be a great asset there
Lauri Markkanen will be traded, OKC Thunder, Golden State Warriors are all good team that will benefit from his talents and skills
Jazz aren't trading Lauri.
Classic Ainge bait and switch.
You call about Lauri and he'll counter with Clarkson, THT or Collins.
Terrible trade ideas.
Lauri and curry would be a problem
Wemby better than Chet in Defense. Shut up.
I'm a jazz fan an I love Lauri but he is not worth 5 picks n okc is not giving up picks when they are number two in the west and they going to be in complete observation mode n the playoffs and they will use those pics to fill the holes if they get knocked out
Just stop your attempts to create news that doesn’t exist. Aren’t there plenty of real stories to cover, like what Draymond Green did to earn his position back in the NBA. Try to find some real news.
I've watched Paolo Banchero some, and thinking of Magic.. I think Lauri would be really good fit on Paolos side. Also Magic is already on the brink of putting it together.
Paolo is already 6.10", Lauri 7.0". If they had some decent center big.. it would be an onslaught. At their heights there is hard to find more athletic players. I mean Lauri is somewhat capable even playing small forward.
Paolo is pretty much as lengthy as guards can be.
I agree Lawri should go to OKC
Your Golden state suggestion will not be good enough for Utah. Golden state only tradable assets is limited this year.
