With Lauri Markkanen now locked in long-term with the Jazz, don’t be surprised if they still attempt to bottom out.
Collin Sexton, Walker Kessler, Jordan Clarkson, and John Collins remain players to monitor on the trade market entering next season.

The most the Warriors offered the Jazz for Lauri Markkanen was Moses Moody, multiple first-round picks, pick swaps and second-rounders, per @Tjonesonthenba (nytimes.com/athletic/56838…).
Golden State refused to include Brandin Podziemski, which was a non-starter for Utah. pic.twitter.com/Jr6TCsRBag – 12:11 PM

Adrian Wojnarowski: All-Star F Lauri Markkanen to ESPN on his new deal to stay with the Utah Jazz -via Twitter @wojespn / August 7, 2024
The extension precludes Markkanen from being traded for six months — which pushes him past February 6th deadline and means he isn’t eligible to be moved until next offseason. Markkanen became eligible for the renegotiation and extension on Tuesday. The Jazz had listened on trade scenarios over recent months for Markkanen, but never were presented an offer that caused them to seriously consider moving an All-Star forward in his prime of his career at 27 years old, sources said. -via ESPN / August 7, 2024
