The Utah Jazz discussed trading Lauri Markkanen to the Golden State Warriors almost a year and a half ago, but it never went anywhere, and shortly afterward, Markkanen signed a mega extension with the Jazz. It came out today why the Warriors didn't pull the trigger on a Markkanen trade: Draymond Green told them not to.
Per ESPN's Anthony Slater, Green told them not to acquire Markkanen because of what Utah was asking for him.
"Green even told Dunleavy and controlling owner Joe Lacob the summer prior not to green-light a trade for Lauri Markkanen, considering the Utah Jazz were asking for all the draft picks and young players," Slater reported.
