What is going on with Lauri Markkanen trade rumors?
hey what’s up everyone it’s sport SP 17 here oh boy we got a little bit to talk about it’s been a while since I’ve I’ve talked about the Utah Jazz been since the draft the lot has happened since the draft especially in the world of NBA rumors now I kind of avoided doing this video I was going to talk about this eventually you know it’s it’s uh there’s a lot of low marke and trade rers going on around right now and it’s a it’s a lot harder than it used to be like I remember back at the trade deadline it was there was some here and there here and there but then this time it’s like no teams are actually offering for LGE marketing and offering uh apparently substantial offers I’m not sure what those offers look like or what they are but it’s definitely something that we as Jazz fans probably don’t really like uh now there’s definitely a lot of different Alleyways and theories of which way Danny a and everything’s going um um but for the most part don’t see them training him and waiting until the extension that’s just me uh now I do understand that there is value in trading Larry marke in especially as good as he is uh let’s say the the Warriors are the biggest name out there now they seem very desperate Klay Thompson just left of course they’re going to try to go after someone and keep their hes alive especially when they still have Steph Curry but it’s it’s just um I really don’t think that they’re tra they’re trading what Danny age wants to trade we can go into details about the picks that they have and if kaming is evolved uh so far Danny an hasn’t pulled the trigger on any trade so I’m not going to go into any trade theories or what they might be but I’m just saying that it’s I can look at this as one way and saying that jazz have someone with extreme value on their team and he wants to stay in Utah so the Stein line on Twitter said uh Li Market and want to remain in Salt Lake despite the circumstances and despite the fact that the 7 foot fin by all accounts wants to stay in Salt Lake City is the quote from it have never I I don’t even think in my lifetime the Jazz have had an All-Star player that wants to actually stay in Utah for his career and we had John Stockton Carone but I was born in 99 last time that they made the finals was 98 so I am probably the curse sorry guys it’s interesting because the Jazz are so young they have six guys on their team right now that are either in their first year or their second year and there’s Li marinin who’s 27 years old and then you have John Collins Jordan Clarkson there’s just all these different things that the Jazz are we just don’t know what they’re doing exactly and uh we might not for a while our marketing the trade rumors floating around I think we’re going to hear hear them until he gets extended now his extended date is is August 6th is that’s the day that he’s eligible to sign this extension so that’s a month away so we’re probably going to be hearing all these trade rumors for the next month unless if for some someone comes out with this crazy valuable trade Tony Jones has said many times I I repeat many times over the past nine months that jazz do not want to trade L marketing but they will trade him if someone completely just blows him away with the trade and these rumors have been at the peak for the past like 5 days I’d say and so far no one has gotten that yet no one has given Danny AG what he wants and Jesse zanic I should throw in there cuz he’s the general manager as well so it’s there’s just all this different things going on now there’s rumors that they tried to get the Kel Bridges to come to the Jazz and of course the Knicks traded five first round picks for that and then they were thinking about getting Mel Bridges so that they could lure Paul georgean which I don’t think would have ever happened even if they got Mel Bridges they might be going down a different route but it can still involve lar marketing and building around him uh it’s just this year I I do see us tanking actually I know the last video that I said the Jazz will go 41 and 41 but that was before I really thought about this and have seen um before free agency and everything the Jazz’s probably going to T pretty hard this season this draft is great we have three draft picks three first round draft picks um this upcoming draft so there we might be in it for a while but l marinin wants to stay even though we’re tanking what what NBA player do you know is an All-Star level player that is okay with staying on a super young team and helping them win the the Jazz want to win L Markin wants to win uh is L Markin the type of player that wants to get thrown into a winning situation or is he the type of player that wants to help build something special and win that way there’s good reasons why we would trade lar marketing there’s good reasons why we’d keep him and I think that Danny a and Justin xanic the whole front office he’s going to give it just he’s going to give it a ton of thought we’ll see what happens who knows maybe the next week he’ll be gone or who knows maybe 5 years from now we’ll have a championship with L Markin there’s so much that could that could happen that comes from a player like L Markin now I do want to say congratulations to the Finland basketball team uh I know that they lost to Spain today uh but they put up a really big fight and I’m proud of them I I try to follow them I followed them last year follow them a little bit this year a little less because L wasn’t playing for them but they almost took down Spain which I believe is was like the second ranked team in the qualifying tournaments uh so congratulations to them I also want to show you guys some things so I got these L marketing cards look at that that one’s pretty cool I like that one and then this one’s cool too I I like this one as well those are the two cards I got I also have also got this this is a sporty Spence 17 sticker and I kind of want to find a way to get these stickers to you guys I’ll let you know in later videos if I figure out a way but hey thank you all for your support huge L marketing fan right here also a huge Utah Jazz fan I will say if L marketing were to get traded I would still follow him completely probably even buy a New Jersey if he gets on a different team it would be really hard for me to by a lar Mark in Warriors jersey though I okay if any Warriors fans are watching this video I’m sorry I have a hard time with you guys you’re a lot like Lakers fans there I said it um but anyway this has been sport span 17 thank you all for watching this video make sure to like And subscribe if you love all things Utah Jazz or if you’re just a Larry Markin fan uh thanks everyone [Music]
Today I discuss my thoughts on the Lauri Markkanen trade rumors. I talk about all the stuff revolving around the Utah Jazz and also a little about how I feel about Golden State Warriors thinking they will get Lauri.
I hope Lauri stays.

I have one question for you Spence. How you build around Lauri when nobody really good player want come to utah? All they can get via trade is medicore players at best. That is my main problem if Lauri stays in utah. He never be in playoffs and tank rest of his career if he stays. Ofc jazz may hit jackpot in draft twice, i doubt it but that is only way jazz can be contender before Lauri is too old.
Lauri is family man, and many Finns dont like big cities. I understand why he would like to stay there. After all, family and especially kids are most important thing, work come second.
However i would really like see him play in team what actually try to win games. Tank should be banned in every sport, that ruin everything if half of the teams try lose as much they can. What kind sport is that? Oh yes, its nba.
A calm, patient, and mature take on the situation where various media simply attempt to build up the hype. As a fan of basketball, I would love to watch competetive games, but this rebuild is already executed way better than the sh+t show that was Lauri's first 4 w/ the Bulls.
I understand that Jazz does want the full 14% Cooper Flagg chance, but losing cant be that hard. I just hope Markkanen does not end up in some dying dynasty before being traded to next destination. NBA has already big enough rotating door problem in my eyes. And selfishly im too invested in rooting for Jazz that i really hope Markkanen will stay, even if it isn't the optimal option for everyone.
Thanks Spence for sharing some comfortš
Some thoughts and facts:
1. Lauri wants to stay in Utah. His family is happy there.
2. Lauri wants to compete but he trust the rebuilding. He wants to win with The Jazz
3. Even if Utah tank with Lauri it can be intresting season. Lauri is still developing and can help the youngsters.
4. I think that Lauri can stay at the top till he is 35. So he fits the timeline.
True and humble Jazz & Markkanen fan speaking āŗļø. Respect š
Danny Ainge is going on. This is his MO š
As a warriors fan i respect ur honesty. š
Remember, the media only gets clicks when they stir up the pot. I canāt see Lauri being moved. Heās got much more value to the Jazz than the warriors can offer. Much more smoke than fire. Danny has zero incentive to trade him
I love that your video isn't about hypothetical trades. I like your style of being an honest, realistic fan.
Lauri is the main man on the team. Ofc he wants to stay.
