Utah are open to trade discussions for Lauri Markkanen

Would that get Markkanen to New Orleans?
I would say 4 #1s and maybe even a player.

You do this by trading BI to the Kings for 2 #1s and players, then you flip them plus 2 of the Pels own picks.

This doesn’t solve the center position, but Zion would be a league terror with Markkanen and Murray shooting from outside. I think it’s an experiment you must try to fully unlock Z. You still need a center, but whatever. Bring in a cheap vet and rip the league a new one on offense.
