The Golden State Warriors are reportedly making a significant push to acquire all-star forward Lauri Markkanen from the Utah Jazz. According to multiple sources, the Warriors have made Markkanen their number one target, with other teams such as the Kings, Spurs, Timberwolves, and Pelicans also showing interest. The Jazz are currently considering offers for Markkanen, who has become a highly sought-after player following the Brooklyn Nets' decision to retain Mikal Bridges. Analysts suggest that Markkanen's versatility makes him a valuable asset for any team. Adrian Wojnarowski reported that the Warriors are among the teams pursuing Markkanen.
Guys, I am relatively sure the Warriors would not do a Hield deal if it ruined a shot at Markkanen. OK? https://t.co/CBMLEVWUDg
