It’s no secret that the Golden State Warriors have been trying to add another star to their roster this offseason. For the past few weeks, rumors have swirled around Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen. Jazz top exec Danny Ainge has been known to architect many a rebuild, and Markkanen is eligible for a sizable extension next week. Markkanen is a dynamic shooter whose scoring prowess would be a significant upgrade for the Warriors. However, according to Tony Jones of The Athletic, Markkanen seems content remaining in Utah.
“Lauri has really taken to Utah,” Jones said during a radio appearance on ESPN 700 in Salt Lake City.
