The Utah Jazz and Golden State Warriors have reached an deadlock, for now, in commerce discussions for Lauri Markkanen. That blockage is across the inclusion of Brandin Podziemski and draft picks in a possible deal, in response to NBA insider Shams Charania in a current look on Sirus XM NBA Radio.
The Jazz have requested for Podziemski and a number of other unprotected picks and swaps in a commerce. The Warriors are open to a deal involving Podziemski or vital draft compensation, however not each.
If Utah is unable to commerce Markkanen this summer time, which might kick off a full rebuild, they’re comfy extending the All-Star ahead’s contract. Markkanen can work a renegotiation-and-extension of his deal on August 6 with the Jazz.
