The Utah Jazz have renegotiated the contract of forward Lauri Markkanen (LOWRY MARK-a-nin) and signed him to a multi-year contract extension. Per team policy, terms of the deal were not released. “Lauri’s ability to score in multiple ways and his versatility as a player makes our team better,” said Jazz CEO of Basketball Danny Ainge. “He embodies our team’s core values on and off the court. We’re glad that he wants to be a part of our future and what we’re building here in Utah.”

Lauri Markkanen is an example of resilience and work ethic. He’s also a cautionary tale in today’s hot take culture. Players develop on their own timeline. My column on how he became the player he is today for the Utah Jazz, is here. Please read – nytimes.com/athletic/56860… – 1:47 PM

My extended thoughts on Lauri Markkanen renegotiating and extending:
In short, I probably would have preferred a trade, but I don’t think the situation is quite as simple as “Utah HAS to tank,” so I get where the Jazz are coming from.

More on this storyline
“Lauri’s combination of size, skill, and shooting is really unique, and he’s proved he’s an All-Star level player with his improvement over the past two seasons,” said Jazz General Manager Justin Zanik. “We’re excited that he shares the same vision of what our team can be long-term and to have him not only as a building block for the Jazz, but also as a member of the Utah community for years to come, is huge.” -via NBA.com / August 7, 2024
Yossi Gozlan: The Utah Jazz will use $24.1 million in cap space to renegotiate Lauri Markkanen’s $18 million salary up to his $42.2 million maximum salary for this season. They have $10.6 million in cap space remaining they could use before officially signing Drew Eubanks and Johnny Juzang. -via Twitter @YossiGozlan / August 7, 2024
