According to Jake Fischer, Lauri Markkanen is zeroing in on signing with the Utah Jazz but on a date that would keep him from being traded this season.
All indications are Lauri Markkanen won’t sign any extension with Utah until after the day he becomes eligible to re-up with the Jazz tomorrow, league sources told @YahooSports, ruling the talented 27-year-old off the trade market for the 2024-25 season: https://t.co/VqfxRC1ehu

As you’ve probably read multiple times, if the Jazz want to trade Markkanen during the season, they have to do it on August 6th, tomorrow.
