The Jazz’s massive Lauri Markkanen trade ask that’s a ‘non-starter’ for Warriors
NY Post
The Jazz are apparently seeking a king’s ransom for star power forward Lauri Markkanen as trade speculation continues.
With rumors swirling around the Warriors and the 2023 NBA All-Star, The Athletic’s Shams Charania reported Monday that Utah has its eyes on Golden State’s “bulk of young talent and capital,” notably Moses Moody, Jonathan Kuminga and Brandin Podziemski, as well as picks, “which has been a non-starter” for the franchise.
Golden State, which bid farewell to franchise stalwart Klay Thompson earlier this month, is said to “have been the most engaged team” for Markkanen’s services in recent weeks, according to the report.
The proposition discussed has been centered on Moody, multiple pick swaps, first-round picks and second-round picks.
Markkanen is entering the final year of his contract with the Jazz, who are in the midst of a rebuild.
The Athletic reported that Utah is open to hearing trade offers and is also “maintaining interest in keeping [Markkanen] as a franchise centerpiece.”

SAN DIEGO — As you may have seen elsewhere in this newspaper (and also if you haven’t deleted me yet from your social media), I have a book coming out Tuesday called “The Bosses of The Bronx.” Much of it details the 37 years’ worth of antics, winning, losing, winning again and overall mania of George Steinbrenner’s time with the Yankees.

Cade Cunningham, almost inarguably the best player in the East this season, is likely out for the remainder of the regular season. That’s the word out of Detroit following the depressing news that Cunningham punctured a lung when he took a knee to his side Tuesday from Washington’s Tre Johnson while chasing a loose ball.
