The Golden State Warriors’ interest in big man Lauri Markkanen has been made very public over the past couple of weeks. However, despite a reported Warriors’ offer of Moses Moody and future draft picks for the Utah Jazz All-Star, talks between the two sides continue to stall ahead of Aug. 6th, the day Markkanen becomes extension eligible and the rumored deadline for any deal.
While the Warriors are rightfully hesitant to sacrifice all of their future assets in a potential trade, the Jazz, meanwhile, are focused on one particular Golden State player more than others: second-year guard Brandin Podziemski.
