On Monday, NBA insider Matt Moore reported for FanSided that the Utah Jazz "continue to stonewall all talks for Lauri Markkanen." In other words, barring a sudden change, Markkanen isn't going anywhere.
Markkanen trade speculation is nothing new. The Warriors pursued a trade for the forward before he signed a five-year, $238 million contract extension with the Jazz in 2024. That put an end to the trade rumors, at least temporarily.
Surprise, but Markkanen's future was another offseason topic, thanks to his play at EuroBasket, and the fact that the Jazz aren't trying to win.
