In recent discussions surrounding Lowry Markkanen, it’s been confirmed that he will not be traded from the Utah Jazz until next offseason. This decision comes after Markkanen signed a new extension, making him ineligible for trade until at least six months after that signing, which coincides with the in-season NBA trade deadline.
Reports indicate that the Jazz were open to trading Markkanen but needed a compelling offer to proceed. The primary suitor was the Golden State Warriors, who have been actively seeking trades. They reportedly offered a package that included Moses Moody, along with multiple first-round and second-round picks, but they refused to part with key young talents like Brandon Piki and Jonathan Kuminga, whom the Jazz were targeting.
The Warriors’ reluctance to include their promising players ultimately stalled negotiations. Utah recognized Markkanen’s value and was willing to consider trades that wouldn’t compromise their long-term rebuilding strategy. They needed to ensure they wouldn’t remain too competitive this season, which could hinder their chances of acquiring high draft picks.
Other teams, including the San Antonio Spurs and Sacramento Kings, also expressed interest in Markkanen. The Spurs aimed to create a strong frontcourt pairing with Victor Wembanyama, while the Kings, despite having assets like Keegan Murray and numerous first-round picks, were hesitant to include him in any trades.
Ultimately, the Jazz did not receive an adequate offer to justify trading Markkanen, especially given his significance to the team’s future plans. With the deadline for trades passing, they are now positioned to keep him on the roster for the upcoming season, focusing on building a competitive team around him.
