The Golden State Warriors reportedly have a "substantial" trade offer on the table for Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen, per Tony Jones of The Athletic, who provided more information on 95.7 The Game.
The 27-year-old Markkanen averaged 23.2 points on 48.0 percent shooting and 8.2 rebounds per game last season. He also won the NBA's Most Improved Player award and earned his first-ever All-Star appearance in 2022-23.
Naturally, he's a hot name on the trading block. Per ESPN's Zach Lowe (subscription required), the San Antonio Spurs, Sacramento Kings and Miami Heat also have interest in Markkanen, who is entering the final year of a contract paying him $18 million in 2024-25.
