The Utah Jazz are sitting at 5-11 and 12th in the western conference along with 23rd overall in the league. Markkanen however has been having a great year. 23.7 ppg on 48.4 field goal shooting.

Instead of trading him for young talent and picks, would it be smart for the Jazz to draft a top player in the draft and keep Markkanen all at the same time?

If they trade him, then they basically have to start all over but they could always just keep him and go for a top 5 pick regardless if the Jazz wanted to. The playoffs seem out of reach for Utah this year.

    Unrelated but i think if Lauri goes to okc… okc might be contenders tbh. Just riding on the hype train though but i think it would be fun

      OKC trades Giddey and picks for Lauri and everyone is happy.
      Utah is happy for the picks
      OKC is happy because they are kinda legit contenders with him
      Lauri is happy because he is contending
      Giddey is happy because he now plays for a team that historically accepts pedos.
