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.

With Lauri Markkanen now locked in long-term with the Jazz, don’t be surprised if they still attempt to bottom out.
Collin Sexton, Walker Kessler, Jordan Clarkson, and John Collins remain players to monitor on the trade market entering next season.

Only player on Jazz that interests Lakers is Walker Kessler, who only makes $2.9M per year. Love to see a trade where we swap a player like Reddish plus remove 1-4 protection off of our 2027 FRP already owned by Utah. Don’t see much more Lakers covet on Jazz roster. Clarkson and Sexton blah.
