Lauri Markkanen to Grizzlies

[QMemphis]

I would agree with this.

Clarke + Choose a Prospect + #7 (2024 Griz 1st) + 25 Griz 1st (unprotected from year they 100% have Markkanen)

That is starting offer for Markkanen + Filler

Then, what more is needed. I think 2027 with limited protections + 26 Swap.

Deal is done and done.

If this gets it done it would be ideal from a pick standpoint but Grizz are not trading Clarke. Our current Big 3 wants him here and he fills the rim runner role as our 3rd big off the bench.

I mean, Clarke is like 0.0% reason to say no to getting Markkanen.

If Jazz don’t see ‘not getting Clarke’ as deal breaker (laughable statement), then of course Griz can keep him and deliver some other salary filler. Falls in category much more value to you/Griz and very little to Ainge.

Ainge wouldn’t value Clarke and his value is a huge low point. My only concern is rebounding but having a top 5 offense and likely top 5 defense (we are top ten now) would put us on the same level as Denver and Boston.

Let Clarke return and show that his jump is still there, and his value will immediately become positive. There are very few bigs out there who are as ultra-efficient in the paint as Clarke.

This is a package for Doncic, not an expiring Markkanen.

Given the feedback here I have updated the trade removing some picks and swaps.
