Report: Lauri Markkanen’s perceived trade value is similar to what Jazz received for Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert
Utah Jazz star forward Lauri Markkanen’s perceived trade value is reportedly similar to what the Jazz received for Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert. “So what’s the line for an acceptable offer?” Kevin O’Connor wrote. “My impression from talking to teams is that it’s something resembling the haul the Jazz received for Mitchell and Gobert: so, five-ish firsts and/or players of comparable value. This is a lot for Markkanen in the sense that he doesn’t have postseason scoring success like Mitchell, or three Defensive Player of the Year trophies like Gobert. As good as Lauri is, he’s made an All-Star team only once and thrived at this level in only one system. But his qualities seem like a fit for virtually any scenario you can imagine: Flanking Bam Adebayo in Miami’s frontcourt, adding a desperate influx of shooting to help Detroit’s young core, replacing Julius Randle in New York, filling open space in Golden State, operating in the two-man game with Tyrese Haliburton in Indiana, mixing in with Houston’s versatile core, thriving off the ball in New Orleans, or completing Oklahoma City’s core.”
