Utah are open to trade discussions for Lauri Markkanen
Make sense why Utah didn't bite on that GSW deal
I know there are some people discouraged that we haven't done anything else other than get Murray, but that deal won't be officially done until July 6th and until then we can add to it so there is a good chance that is being worked behind the scenes (I think it's more likely we go after a center than Markkannen but anything's possible)
I have also seen (sure others in here have as well) reports that there is a mutual desire to keep BI and they are trying to work a team friendly deal. I dont give a fork how much a player is making.....if the best fit for them is to be on the 2nd unit then do what's best for the team. I said the same about Zion early on. If BI doesn't fit in well with Murray and Zion, then let him wreck some reserves. I don't want to hear anybody whining that it would be too much money for a bench guy....if it makes the team better than do it that way. Zion, BI, and Murray have all shown they are capable of putting up 20+ points a night but can all three of them do it playing at the same time? Probably not.
When I watch clips of Murray, I see him forcing defenses to clog the mid-range with his iso penetration.....he needs 3 pt shooters and slashers around him (he also does well with a center working the dunkers spot but that doesn't fit in with Zion) and that ain't exactly BI's bag but in this lineup I could see BI being 6th man of the year
