Would there be a better (potentially) realistic get than Lauri Markkanen?

I doubt they would see any reason to move him this year and if they did there’s probably better options but man, if we could get him for a deal centered around Stew + whatever outside our starting 5 that would make me feel 100x better about this rebuild. Say we can lift the Knick protections, send Bogi back there or something and have Utah get a 1st, Stew, Hayes/Sasser/Livers…

Cade, Ivey, AT, Lauri and Duren would have me feeling so much better about this team and their balance/future etc. Lauri is 26, under contract 2 more years (~17m per) and a big shooting machine!

Then you go into offseason and just build a bench of all vets to mix in! Ugh, a guy can dream-huh?

    Jazz would hang up the phone faster than you can say Stewart. Lauri is an all-star and he’s white. Utah is not letting that go.
