Per Shams Charania and Tony Jones of the Athletic, Lauri Markkanan and the Utah Jazz are expected to agree to a renegotiation and extension sometime after August 6th.
JUST IN: NBA All-Star Lauri Markkanen and the Utah Jazz are expected to agree to a massive long-term contract extension and sign Wednesday or later, making him untradeable for entire 2024-25, sources tell me, @Tjonesonthenba, @anthonyVslater.
Details: https://t.co/g4ioZvcaix— Shams Charania (@ShamsCharania) August 6, 2024The timing of the deal is essential because signing on the 7th or later makes Markkanen ineligible to be traded until after next season.
