Jazz Plan To Keep Lauri Markkanen, Jordan Clarkson 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Wed Nov 23, 2022 3:14 pm

The Utah Jazz have so far intended their plan to keep Lauri Markkanen and Jordan Clarkson out of trade talks, sources tell Jake Fischer of Yahoo Sports.


While the Jazz also will maintain a high asking price for Jarred Vanderbilt, Malik Beasley, Mike Conley and Kelly Olynyk could be made available before the trade deadline.


The Jazz have interest in trading for John Collins, but a scenario where they actually acquire him is considered low. The Atlanta Hawks approached Utah on a trade of Collins for Markkanen and those talks didn't generate any traction.

In what world is Jordan Clarkson considered an untouchable?

All this means is that Ainge wants 20% more value on the offers he's already received.
