Recently, according to ClutchPoints reporter Brett Siegel, the Thunder is the only team that has the capability to pursue Lauri Markkanen.
Brett also mentioned that the Timberwolves, Spurs, Heat, and Kings have had contact with the Jazz. However, there was never a serious discussion between the Timberwolves and Heat regarding a trade for Markkanen.
The Warriors have also contacted the Jazz, but during their interactions, the Warriors were unwilling to offer Bogdanovic and Kuminga as trade chips for Markkanen.
Markkanen can sign an early extension with the Jazz on August 6 (US time). However, if he signs an extension after this date, he cannot be traded for the entire season due to the trading protection period stipulated by the labor agreement.
Therefore, the drama surrounding Markkanen will conclude officially on August 7.
