Heat among several teams interested in Lauri Markkanen
Trading Lauri Markkanen would buy Utah a one-way ticket toward the front of the tank line, and Markkanen indeed stands as perhaps the league’s most intriguing trade chip with Mikal Bridges now in New York. A pile of teams have shown interest in him, including the San Antonio Spurs, Sacramento Kings, Miami Heat and Warriors, sources said. History suggests Danny Ainge, Utah’s CEO, will move Markkanen once someone meets his price. That could be tomorrow or months from now if the Jazz raise Markkanen’s salary and then sign him to a contract extension once they are allowed to do so in early August.

Free agency has slowed down to a stop while the futures of Lauri Markkanen, DeMar DeRozan and Miles Bridges are resolved.
Some remaining free agents will be waiting to see where pieces end up before making their decisions – 10:24 AM

More on this storyline
Bobby Marks: “Utah is sitting at about $34 million in room. The Markkanen renegotiation cannot be done until August 6. They are sitting on $34 million in room. Certainly a name discussed among trade suitors. He has one year left. His extension number is for 113 over four. If Utah is not going to renegotiate, then his name will be prominent in trade discussions.” -via YouTube / July 4, 2024
Ben Anderson: Would remind anyone waiting for Lauri Markkanen news that Danny Ainge and Justin Zanik gladly worked the phones for 2 months after trading Rudy Gobert before sending Donovan Mitchell to Cleveland. Jazz have no deadline to make any deals, and time passing is their ally. -via Twitter @BensHoops / July 3, 2024
The Sacramento Kings were reportedly close to pulling off a trade for Utah Jazz star big man Lauri Markkanen, according to Jake Fischer of Yahoo Sports. “The Kings, to my knowledge, earlier this week were close to a deal,” he said during Wednesday’s No Cap Room podcast (40:30 mark). “I do think that, based off of conversations I’ve had. I can’t say more than that, but there were calls made to people around the NBA that would have indicated that talks have been legitimate there.” -via Bleacher Report / July 3, 2024
