The Los Angeles Lakers would fall short in a bidding war for the Utah Jazz star.
front office wanting to trade Lauri Markkanen, there's still chatter around the league about the possibility of an exchange happening this offseason. The latest comes from an anonymous GM who believes if Markkanen was on the trade block, thewouldn't have enough assets to compete with the competition if there was a bidding war.
“So the only way that happens is maybe other teams get worried about his injury history and the Lakers are sitting there with the best offer. If Utah knows they’re not gonna extend him, you’d have to consider it. I do think they extend him, but still, you’ve got to consider it.” Josh Giddey, Luguentz Dort, and Cason Wallace could be used to sweeten the deal if needed and let's not forget bout the 15 first rounders in the possession of the Thunder over the next seven years. Of course, this is hypothetical, and the most likely outcome is for Markkanen to re-sign with the Jazz.
“They’ll listen,” the Western Conference executive said. “They always listen. Danny’s reputation is overblown. He wants a championship team, he wants to do what Sam Presti has done in Oklahoma City. He knows he is a long way off still. They’ll be tough and the price will be high but that’s how it should be.”.
