Warriors not budging on stance amid Lauri Markkanen trade pursuit
With the NBA season just a couple of months away, players are at varying stages of readiness. While some are working hard to get back into game shape, others are still on vacation. For Lauri Markkanen, it seems he’s experiencing the best of both worlds. Recent reports indicate that the Utah Jazz have sent a team of coaches to work with Markkanen in his home country, suggesting they are serious about keeping him. This move casts doubt on the rumors linking him to the Golden State Warriors and implies that Markkanen is likely to remain in Utah, barring an offer that meets Jazz CEO Danny Ainge’s asking price. For the Warriors, this situation might prompt them to reassess their strategy and look for a player who fits their playstyle without parting with key assets, especially with Klay Thompson out.
