Anonymous GM Forecasts Lakers-Jazz Trade for Lauri Markkanen

Despite no signs from the Utah Jazz front office wanting to trade Lauri Markkanen, there's still chatter around the league about the possibility of an exchange

If Lakers really would call to Jazz asking a chance to trade for Lauri during the draft night what Ainge should to do?

Tell him to kick rocks. I just saw a pic of Lauri hanging with Smith at a RSL game and saw him out hiking with Hardy. I think the extension is basically done (some rumors on the amounts and also him backing out of the olympics). So I think even a godfather offer is a flat no right now. Lakers don't have the goods for a good enough offer. I think it might take an absolutely obscene offer. Like Houston sends smith jr., #3, all the brooklyn picks they own - I think its like 2 or 3 through swaps... maybe more.

Just in: Lauri is not playing for Team Finland Olympic qualifiers "for health reasons". Bum just don't wanna risk his millions.

As cool it obviously would've been to see Finland playing summer Olympics in Paris the odds and chances for that were already theoretical.
Now it is NO chances at all. Still right decision to skip national team games for this year.
Lauri has contract season coming so it's better for this way as much it sucks for susijengi.

That's true. But if there is smoke then there is fire also.
Interesting off season coming for sure especially then if Ainge's talks for '' going all in and big hunting'' really turns reality.

I do understand that Lakers do not have much assets for trading Lauri.
But what then if some other team like OKC etc makes very serious trade offer for Lauri and that offer is too good to say no.
