Lauri Markkanen has found himself the subject of constant trade chatter ever since the Cleveland Cavaliers banished him to the perpetual rebuild of the Utah Jazz. Coincidentally, it could also be the Cavaliers who help free him from that environment before the NBA trade deadline.
Don't be mistaken, it won't be a reunion in Cleveland for Markkanen. However, it could involving getting back together with the old head coach Lauri played for with the Cavaliers. Michael Scotto cited JB Bickerstaff as a prime reason why a trade to the Detroit Pistons could be on the table.
