Utah Jazz fans better be ready for what will be a prominent theme throughout the season: Lauri Markkanen trade rumors. The more the Jazz lose, the more his name will pop up in trade rumors. However, don't get it confused. The only way the Jazz would trade him is if they get a young centerpiece. One name who has come up in a potential Markkanen deal is Ausar Thompson.
NBA Insider Jake Fischer revealed that the Jazz have no plans to trade Markkanen, but if they did, and wanted to entertain a trade with the Detroit Pistons, Thompson would have to come back.
